Angelina Dabiedeen

Hi my name is Angelina and I’m from Trinidad I just wanted to say this was AMAZING I used to watch Alisha all the way back with her brown hair and her old room and I started watching Remi through her.The last part when you said this is like a therapy you have no idea how just saying what’s on your mind is just so good ,for me, right now I don’t really like talking about my feelings and I just kinda keep everything in for a bit but when I do it’s just like a weight being lifted off my shoulders. Love this, keep doing what y’all do Xoxo Angelina ❤️
