"The truth will break your heart. This can be hard to watch for some, but the reality is that not everybodys life is a storybook. There are more PRECIOUSes out there. some stories are not as harsh and believed it or not. Some are worse. What i loved about this was the truth... the raw truth... not edited, turn your head from the TV screen truth. FABBBULOUS FABBBULOUS "
