We don’t necessarily have to understand the reasons why things are done a certain way, we just do and eventually, it becomes second nature. Then, school begins and things start to have to make sense. We no longer…

Yes there were times I’m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all And I stood tall and did it my way My Way, Frank Sinatra Have you felt burdened lately? Asking yourself why you told…
