Love Yourself Like That
I was always told, "If you don't fix your face, a bird's gonna come shit on your lip!" That was my mom's side of the family, being funny, but not just "haha" funny. They would be on your ass when you got in trouble, and then start feeling bad and want to lighten the tension by using sarcasm. They'd say some shit like that and I couldn't help but smile. That's a kind of love. It teaches compassion, because you didn't have to be serious about life all the time, but you do need to know when to stop playing around and get your shit together.

Karissa was their first and only child.
