Just because the person you look up to made it doesn’t mean you will, we are different and we come from different backgrounds. Think about your parents who are scarifying everything for you. If you are already there, please learn from it and rest assured life will never be the same. It’s not about you anymore, that’s baby is your life now. If you are thinking about getting pregnant to keep a man who will disgrace you (I promise you) he will in a few months, please my dear Don’t. Please wait. It’s a beautiful thing when you just wait a little. Secure your future young queen. Aki sikizeni tu” said Kate Actress.
