Most of us have a whole other self that is more of a fantasy self than a reality. Walking that line is a delicate balance really. On one hand we hold onto a lot of stuff that is for that fantasy person but on the other hand we don't do things we want to because... Continue Reading →
Alright this isn’t serious but then it kinda is. I’m not someone you look at and think ‘wow I bet you she’s really strong’ quite the opposite really.
