We live in a world where happiness and to live a happy life is the goal. We’re always seeking and striving for it. Oftentimes we find it until we don’t have it anymore. But only those who truly understand know that happiness is not a constant, and it cannot be *bought*. At the end of … Read more
Straight up, I hate social media now more than ever. Do I use it? Yes, but I’ve only grown to see how barren, tainted and useless it truly is.
