"After that, something snapped inside of Cassandra's parents..both of them began to hate me- Cassandra's father spoke to my boss, and with my boss already not liking me- it was within minutes that my boss fired me for something that was out of my control. Then Cassandra's parents took me to court and took away my daughter.....I only got to hold her for like ..twe..twenty minutes before she was taken away from me ...and although I wish to see her more often, maybe she is better to be with her grandparents?.....after all, once I lost Cassandra...I lost any friendship with her parents...my job ...everything I ended up having to live on the streets..begging for money, for change....for food..water, anything and everything...it was exactly what I had said to Anna my first wife after we had split up, and I was finally ...I suppose ...getting punished for treating her so badly?..... I didn't know ...I guess that's part of living life?..not knowing the reason behind everything that was happening..or is happening" Johnathan's voice was heard, as the visualization soon changed to that of Johnathan who was seen with raggy looking clothing, messy looking hair- and dirty looking skin, but this didn't seem to concern him as he was seen sitting down with his back against the wall of a grocery store holding a sign that said "Any Bit Helps!" while he watched various people walk by, talking on their phones, talking to each other- seeming to enjoy their time together, while Johnathan watched many of them pass by; as he sighed and closed his eyes, leaning back a bit, at the time it appeared sunny- indicating it had been a couple of months since Johnathan found himself living on the street.

"You two need to take some more time off you know?" Jessie's voice was heard, as the visualization soon changed to that of Jessie's home it seemed- with Anna coming into view sitting across from her, along with Johnathan; as Johnathan shook his head his nose pointed towards his phone, as he appeared to be typing something on it, and added.




"Why would we take some time off?... I mean, we're big and famous!..there's nothing else that matters." And with this Jessie shook her head and looked over at Anna.




"Come on Anna, take a moment to realize this!...if you keep working yourself ...trying out newer ideas for things namely just for work, you're going to miss out on the bigger things in life."
