Parenting is not for sissies. You have to sacrifice and grow up
No one but you can take your dreams away from you
One of my acting teachers once said that rejection is God's protection. There's something in it.
The truth is that you are as unique on the inside as you are on the outside.

It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing, 8 weeks for your friends to notice, & 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. Give it 12 weeks. Don't quit.
