It is so hard to give, give give of yourself when your passions call out. That is what it is to be a parent, though. Not enough time and not enough energy. Having little kids is like having a funnel surgically implanted into your body. Luckily, beautiful things flow back into you through that funnel, too. Angi~

Thank you very much :)
Its funny you say that, lately instead of rap, I've been listening to
80's music. Mostly guns and roses, poison, and ozzy. I guess whatever I'm listening to, influences my writing style. With that in my, give me a good song from back then ;) Maybe it'll give me inspirations cause right now, i have bad bad writers block

[MikeV]

Thank you, Rose :) I'm an only child
but having three kids of my own
it is so tough to give them each equal attention
was it difficult for you, being the oldest?

[SyberRose]
