#At25 my grandparents had passed on, family turned its back on me yet my rapist uncle was free. I had a baby, living in a one room using a pit latrine& my art wasn't selling. 2yrs Later my art is getting international recognition, I'm clean and life is only getting better 😭💛.

Mac Miller artwork by Tehlai X. I really had a fun time doing this piece (commission piece). Spent about 3months doing it& it's one of the most detailed artworks I've ever done (started when I was pregnant & finished after I gave birth). Thank you @ThatNiggaEphy for trusting me.

At first I thought I missed my period bc I started this pea protein supplement thing and apparently protein can make you skip your period 😂.I also didn't have morning sickness at all but our suspicions were confirmed when we heard the heartbeat 💓.

My grandfather was the first man to love me❤️. From birth he treated me like a princess, putting me through school, raising me as his own. He bought my first artwork and always supported me with anything I wanted to do in life, he was my best friend and I miss him everyday 😔😭

@Thelovablewolf1 😅 Just mix the ingredients as indicated on the packaging, bring water to boil (I kept the stove on 3),then elevate whatever you put your batter in. Put a cloth under the lid so that the steam soaks into the cloth. Steam for as long as you're supposed to keep it in the oven.

Do you know what's crazy about sobriety and staying clean?. YOU change but the liquor stores & the plugs don't change location. You STILL know where you can go to get a fix but you make a conscious decision EVERYDAY to not drink or use drugs. It takes a lot.

I briefly dated a chef when I lived in Kasane. I mentioned how I had never eaten cheesecake before and a couple of days later he made one for me, he laid a spread out for us so perfectly by the river as the sun set & it was amazing. 🥺.
What's the most thoughtful thing a friend or partner has ever done for you? 🥺.
