Yes that’s so true. My friend now he was a foster child. He’s has tried to reconnect to his family and been betrayed. He use to get missing for days at a time. Sleep and gambling. I had to give him grace but it taught me patience. I had never experienced anything in my life. But when I say he don’t pls about me. It’s all ❤️❤️ people need to hear this 🥰

Double standards much?

I’ve noticed something strange. Some people are the quickest to judge others… but live completely differently in private. It makes me wonder— is it insecurity, control, or something else? Why do people hold others to standards they don’t follow themselves? Curious what you think.
