Happy Pride everyone, have fun for me too, I wish you to find a breakthrough plan and make your legitimate dreams come true to be happy. I truly wish you this from the bottom of my heart.

Don’t condemn people because they don’t think exactly like you, maybe those people there love you all the same, but you think not. Times change, mothers whiten, flowers bloom and then wither, and then are reborn. You have to work at it and always believe in it. If you play the love card you will always win. Bye bye LGBTQ+ people, best wishes 😘”.
