Last week was interesting. Reposting “Are You Scared to Let Someone In?” made me reflect on a few things. I never claimed to be perfect. I’m human just like any other person, but I’d like to think that I’ve grown over the years. Still, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes in love and war. [...]

I’ve never watched ABC’s Wife Swap before but I came across a jaw-dropping clip from the show on Crunk & Disorderly today.
