You know, it hit me the other day. I've crossed over to the other side of my twenties, and something's changed. Those wild trips with friends? They're still fun, but these days, I'm itching to pack my bags with Mom and Dad instead - I ab...
Why am I posting a this now? It’s the long weekend, go take them out - fuck savings, spoil them :)
Why do relatives feel that they should always talk about doing things the right way and how do they know what they say is the right way?
Some examples -
Life is just about how early you realise that you dont have to give shit about what people think of you, early you realise early you grow. 95% of people realise it by the time they are 50 and by then it is done deal. People who realise i...
