But something happened at 21, something wonderful…
““But something happened at 21, something wonderful, something amazing. I feel in love for the first time in my life…real love. The love that only had existed in fairy tales I watched growing up. Of course my mother wasn’t excited, but I didn’t care for the first time. I felt I had something that was mine, all mine and I refused to let her get in my way. ””
