My advice: Think of a time where a stranger did something really embarrassing. Probably hard to come up with examples? Exactly! Just live your life as your most authentic self. The important people will remember the good, and the unimportant people aren't paying attention anyways.

January 16th: Journey Lately I feel like I'm on a journey that's giving me whiplash. Am I making the right choices? Do I want a career or do I want a job to fund my hobbies? I can't go back and change the decisions I've already made, but I can made new ones, but what if they are also bad decisions?
