the kids today: eldest is standing at the mirror getting her hair done and saying to the youngest who is curled up on the floor near her feet pretending to be a cat “you’re the most gorgeous little baby in the whole world.”

I had a dream that I was very very small and my friends were bugs and we were trying to go for drinks and the bouncer (who was a larger bug) wouldn’t let my little bug friend go in so I grabbed him by the throat and held him up with one hand and growled “you can’t discriminate.” what does this mean??? why bugs?????

Azra I was wondering if you could give me advice. What should I do if the man I love is not a Muslim

Hello! Come and talk to me off anonymous although I may not be able to respond quickly as we don’t have any wifi at home atm

are you going to continue your sexts? They are some of my favorite pieces of yours!
