So the way I phrase it is, you know,
I'm single but far from lonely.
So, I won't say that I'm someone
that's in a relationship all the time.
But I always have company.
So single moms, you know, I'll be open to it
but they'll be like a cap.
Unless they were like some extraordinary exception.

I'm really close to my youngest sister.
I think a lot of my playfulness
and my soft qualities come from her
because I'm always like playing
and joking around with her.
I'm a get hype and go on a tangent.
So I'm a just try and keep it short.
For you, your most embarrassing moment
