survival tactics....

everyone of us thinks and actually knows that they have been through the best and worst of experiences and that is what has made them who they are this day... My mum( i thank God for her) has given me the basic principles that have guided me until this day 1. I was never allowed to eat at the neighbors house; my mum used to say, "What your mum has not given you is human waste." Her exact words; trust me when you are a kid this is super scary. 2.

Let me not even waste your time by giving you a long read; all i know is that from the word go it was all crappy.
