Buckle Up

Parents hug your children, love your children, spend time with them, don’t just give them money to get out your face, let them know they are special, give them praise when they deserve it, acknowledge them so they won’t grow up old, miserable and bitter, never feeling loved or worthy, longing so desperately for attention, any attention, ALL the attention.

I never seen such a “Pick Me, Pick Me” person in all my days. Looka me, looka me… “I had the Biggest… I had the Most, nobody ever did it like me, I did it better, I deserve the award, give it to me…”  
And the audacity to select yourself to be the “acting” whatever you want to call it and just take over and wanna run someone else’s house when yo own house is ran down in shambles, in disarray, filled with chaos, confusion, disruption and corruption is so diabolical.  
Welcome to 2026, Buckle up for Round 2.
