Happy Belated Father's Day


I'm an avid fan of Demi Lovato's talent(s), and have always thought of her as being a wonderful role model to young girls and aspiring musical artists.

And after reading this quote I found on Perez, I have a great deal more respect for her than I ever did. It's difficult to find words sometimes to explain why things happen, but she articulates it nicely:


"You try to have faith in somebody, even when you're the last person that believes in him," Lovato explained. "But When someone lets you down after you've been the only one there for them, and so many times, you don't know what to do… I had to cut off all connection. It was hurting me too much."


Thank you to my mom, who even when my dad was around, was always a father to me. It's the masculinity thing she's always had (you know, the Tomboy thing?). Thank you to all the mothers who did what they had to do to make sure their kids had the best life possible. And thank you to Wonder Woman, for making strong, independent women sexy.
