NOTE: This post was actually written about 7 months ago, when I was in the middle of getting tested for a number of conditions. I was hurt and afraid. Its tone will therefore be considerably different than what you’re used to, if you’re a frequent reader. I decided to publish this because I felt it [...]
“Now is the time to design the next ten years of your life–not once they’re over. – Anthony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within Driving to my parent’s house last night, I was listening to the Gnarles Barkley song “Crazy”.
