Mom and dad are kinda headstrong, runs in the family I think, so yeah they fight sometimes, but things usually works out.”

We are broke, but mom and dad always cared about me, busted their asses to give me the best life. Fuck,  I ain’t going to let them down you know? They will be freaking proud. I help out when I can, you know? Side jobs and stuff, dad taught me how to do a lot of shit.” ”
