Posted on March 20, 2019 by Nicole Marissa

Posted on July 5, 2015 by Nicole Marissa

Mr. On-again Off-again Drops Knowledge

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Nicole Marissa

I went to see him. I had sworn him off but something about him always draws me back. Maybe it’s his laid back approach to life, his unconditional love for his daughter or his confidence but it’s something.
