Meeting new people Quote by Destiny Meador
“People tell me to watch what I say around someone new and I can say I learned my lesson and really try to make people like me but then I realized that they weren't seeing the real me that was hiding inside. some people need to respect my choices in life and either like them or don't I really wont care what they have to say. I can be really nice and be kind or be hateful and say mean things to their face and then walk away like nothing happened. Or ya'll can stay on my good side and not say rude crap behind my back. just say it to my face or move on and don't say crap.”
