My only hope with sharing my story (wellβ¦this part) is to inspire anyone who feels that life has dealt them a hand they see no way out of. You will get through itβ¦whatever it is. Lean on those you love. Never lose faith in God.

My previous tweets were pure sarcasm. I have nothing negative to TRULY say about this clip. I just hope folks use this as a reference when they come for us (women). π Iβm prepared to get attacked regardless. I welcome the hypocrisy.

I need a legit explanation as to why weβre playing games at 12pmβ¦.to think about it, I never really asked. Can someone explain? At this point itβs not making much sense at all to be headed to the arena at 9:15 am β¦.just now thought about it π€ cuzβ¦.
This week alone we have WITNESSED the torch being passed across numerous sports . Being a soorts fan is just so exciting right now. Thank you to all who came before ππΎπ

WOW. These refs blew it. Troy should be in a better position to win this game right now. In my opinion they shouldβve won the game. Those 3 calls hurt. BAD.
