You cross my boundaries," Michelle wrote.

Why marrying at the peak of your career is a mistake - Daddy Owen
When it comes to finding love and building a successful career, many people believe that timing is everything.
While some individuals choose to prioritize their careers over their personal lives, others find themselves struggling to balance both.
Gospel singer Daddy Owen is one such person who has recently reflected on his life choices and the impact they have had on his career and personal life.
