I’ve seen her face 10,000 times but for some reason I’m not sure what Shakira looks like.
I know that sounds strange.
I feel like I could walk past her on the street and not recognise her at all.

Women:
You dont get married for instagram.
You dont get married to spend money.
You dont get married to annoy your ex.
You dont get married for fun, or freedom.
You get married to BELONG to and DEDICATE yourself to your man.
Are you really ready?
556
You don’t resist because they’ve made you believe their world is all you deserve.
You don’t believe in yourself anymore.
557
You must purify your wealth by giving a percentage of it each year to charity.

2 years ago I walked into a new barber shop and they said
“How do you want your hair cut?”
It reminded me of this story.
And I told them to shave it all off.
Nobody gives a fuck about my hair.
They care what kinda man I am.
RIP Emory Tate.
567
He was totally right.
I look back now and THANK him.
What good comes from a 13-year-old boy giving a fuck about his haircut?
ZERO.
My mother’s intentions were pure. But she’s a FEMALE.
This is very normal female behavior.
Son with his cute haircut. But it’s unimportant.
568
My mother complained about how crazy dad is and how it’s impossible to even speak around him without him losing his temper and going crazy.
“Forcing Andrew to shave his head” became a story mother would tell of how “insane” my dad was for years to come.
But guess what...
569
I sat in the chair holding back tears as my head was shaved.
Afterwards dad said:
Your mother loves you and I love you.
Nobody in the world gives a fuck about your haircut. When you grow up you’ll see - they only care about what kinda man you are.
I went home. Mum went NUTS.

“Females fucking around with haircuts. You won’t be raised into a little bitch” he said.
We left the hotel and he marched me to a barber shop where he paid to have my head shaved.
I protested. Why? Dunno. Was a kid.
But I feared my dad. As if he was God himself.
571
I heard them on the phone.
Mum: you’re fucking crazy Emory why did you do that it’s only a fucking haircut I don’t want to see you ever again fuck off back to America
And that’s what dad did.
He left England.
572
Mum: your dad is crazy it’s only a haircut see why I can’t be around your dad anymore.
Next day dad calls the house and tells me to go to the hotel he’s staying at.
I go. We play chess.
“Your mother does the best she can. But she’s still a female” he said.
I didn’t reply.
573
My dad was a 0-100 kinda guy. From silence to SCREAMING out of nowhere.
Now mum's crying and tells dad to get out of the house or she’s calling the police.
Dad leaves. One hour into seeing him first time in a year.
574
Dad lost his mind.
What the fuck is wrong with you woman?
YOU'RE RAISING MY SON TO BE A BITCH? Crying about his haircut?
This is the kinda man you’re raising when I’m not around?
Mum started screaming back calling dad crazy and telling him to leave the house.
575
“I don’t like how they cut your hair Andrew”
I was a kid. My mother told me my hair was shit. What else am I gonna reply?
Me: me neither.
Mum: yes we won’t go there again
Me: can we go to the normal place next time?
Dad stands up from the couch: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?
