I am eager to find my path and I need mentors to guide me.
I want friends and people I can trust and with whom I can be myself.
I don’t understand how to handle women who compete in negative ways.
I have so many dreams and want them all to come true.
I get overwhelmed with all my new responsibilities and just want to be a “kid” again.
