“Her father threatened her with guns, her teachers graded her bottom of the class and the music industry told her she’d never make it. Then Missy Elliott changed the face of hip hop. And that was just for starters…"
Missy Elliott. The Face (June 1999)

Your grandma keeps it real.

Amen

I think that 2 people that actively work hard at their marriage is the most beautiful and romantic thing in existence. Forget the flowers on valentines day, I want the husband that randomly sweeps the floor for me because he knows I had a hard day at work.
