Things tend to get a bit blurry but I never forget the date. 9/1/2012 is when I hit launch not really knowing what I was doing or even trying to accomplish. I didn’t know anything about social media or Instagram and still to this day hate Facebook. What was clear …
Fun fact, misery does not dig company and despite what I’ve been dealing with over the past few months, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Just because my own life might be turning to shit, it doesn’t mean that I can’t show compassion for others. The truth is that it …
