Humans of AR

Devon's heroes and cynical childhood.

“Um that’s hard to say because that’s like choosing one person out of my parents, so I’mma just say both of my parents. They both taught me different lessons. My dad is more strict but also ‘let you do what you want’ and my mom is more like tender and strict I guess as well, but in a different way. So I guess they are both the most important people in my life. Oh, and my dog.”

“Uh, less crime and less running around town with my friends cuz now my friends don’t live in the same town. Also, probably better than I imagined because as a kid, I was very cynical. I was like ‘Yeah I’m going to have a bad life, I’mma be homeless’. Yeah...I was a weird child."
