Fresh out the box....
Lesson Learned
So…I have figured out that life is a learning process full of confusion, hypocracy and betrayal…and before you say “no shit” hear me out. When we are babies we are encouraged to speak and walk…when we are toddlers we are told to sit down and shut up…this is the first confusion we experience.
