I’m going to keep this post really short by saying… …BULLSHIT, we always have choices. Cheers! From my perspective, it is just that simple but I know there are so many people that like to overcomplicate things by allowing a lack of common sense and a fear of trying something … [Read more...]
Your Life: Customized Vs. Default
