I quit my job this morning, leaving for industry. When asked why I was leaving, I shared a few aspirational points about why I was going where I was going.

How do you guys keep your house clean with toddlers and have time to work full time, work out, cook, play with toddlers, take them to activities, etc? I've never been a super tidy person but I really do enjoy a clean home and try but I have the hardest time keeping up. I did at one time have a housekeeper which helped but we can't afford it at the moment. Just doesn't feel like there's enough hours in the day to get it all done.

Bhai mein Goa gaya tha
Ek ladki mili tinder pe. Bolti tattoo banaati hai
Meine Instagram page wagerah check kiya to legit laga
Tattoo design bhi finalise kar liya. But it seemed a bit shady as she had called me around 10 pm in the night for the appointment saying "i usually work best at night"
Tumhare bhai ne dimaagh ka button kar liya off aur chala gaya. In the middle of the tattoo work her machine stopped working and I had to catch a flight next day.
Now I have an incomplete tattoo on my back😀
