Not to settle. If you're not happy with a person, leave. And wait until you find that one person who makes you feel good about yourself every single day and is not expecting you to change, but to grow.

I'm a very feminine person, but I have this hard shell, man, and I stay focused and don't take things personally.

In Caribbean there is no middle class: you're either rich or you're poor. And the ladder to success is not really a ladder, it's a chain; once you reach a certain level, you can't go back and you can only keep going forward.

I grew up loving action movies and films that were set in supernatural, unimaginable places.
