So I watched Franklin a lot as a kid, and I’ve always hated that I cry out of empathy for others. Seeing him do it is so validating for me and explains a lot as to why I am the way I am.
It’s only now climate change has reached Europe that everybody is panicking. The Caribbean was getting its ass beat for years now with supercharged hurricanes
Unpopular opinion: If you’re a Bahamian living outside of The Bahamas for a lengthy period of time (let’s say, 5 years minimum) @ have big opinions on the state of the country. I take your words with a grain of salt… a very small grain of salt.
