Random Thoughts of an aspergian actress
Happy Father’s Day! I know I haven’t written in a while, but I wanted to come back to write a quick post in honor of my dad. As I mentioned in my mother’s day blog, I’m extremely close to my parents, and my dad has always been someone who’s been there for me whenever I […]
