Hello~ :3 things Ive been doing lately

Hello beauties!♥
Thank you for all the sweet and personal comments!
I was really happy to read all your wonderful and cheerful messages! its SO nice to know that I have wonderful girls like you behind my back and caring about me, I am so thankful for everything ^__^ I felt so good to know that it was ok to share and be real with you guys I know life can be so hard at times and there are always a rainbow at the end of it all and so lets try to reach that happiness!♥

more about me for today:
I know having family and friends are VERY important for your support system, I never had that when I was growing up. I grew up all my life with a single parent my mother and a older brother, moved to America when I was in 3rd grade to America *Florida to be exact* so all my family and friends were in Japan. Had to start from one again with the whole language barrier and building friendship all over, most challenging thing was trying to communicate with not understanding a single word trying desperately to make friends so I know the value of friendship. So please value your friends and meeting new people with open arms :)
so having said growing up with a single parent is extremely difficult I never had anything when I was growing up we struggle alot to meet ends need so everything I have had to earn it myself nothing was hardly given to me so that was the main thing that made me achieve more and better myself so never judge persons's worth with materialistic items, life is about happiness within and see if you can make a difference in this world that would be a plus :3
as you know I still struggle from coming from nothing it did do alot of mental and emotional damage to me but I learn a very good lesson of value and appreciation for everything that is around me! Lets smile and be happy together♥

what Ive been up to? well trying to be happy and not be too sick hehe :3
