I resolve to tear up my life
"I am on the other hand a firm believer in disruptive change as a positive force... I think you reach an age where you can easily start to get complacent-not you specifically, of course, but people in general-and when that happens there's a danger you'll stop questioning the way you see the world or quit trying new things or say you don't care if ( Read more... ) -
