​@@puputsarifudin7950 yeah pretty much. :( like for example, when I visit Universal studios, my inner child is screaming for joy, but on the outside, i feel too embarrassed to jump up and squeal because of others around me 🙈 societal views is what causes us to shutdown our genuine childlike emotions

[@nyceexo53]

@L I’ve thought about this a lot lol I think it’s cuz when you’re a kid anything seems possible, and it IS…your life seems so long and being grown up so far away that you really do believe you could be a famous singer or sports star etc one day…then you get older and realize that doors start closing 😩

@@angelminaj617 please keep all negative energy to yourself. I am a Black American 🇺🇸 and very proud of it. I believe in progression and not regression. You need to educate yourself and learn about countless interracial couples that have children out there. Children are costly, they need the finances for a healthy environment for their development. So by cutting off all super expensive hairdo and long finger nails and use this money instead on a child would definitely be more beneficial to his emotional and psychological development. So please stop playing the race card which gets on everybody’s nerves. This video is one of the nicest video I have seen I suggest you watch the Schoeller couple who adopted a black American 🇺🇸 little girl called Tyanna looking at the videos about this family and their daughter will change your perception and educate you further about human relationships.
