Life Goals

All I really want in life is to become a genuinely good, nice, kind, caring, productive person.

Slow On The Uptake

We’re all living beings trying to figure out how to live better, but we’re not all capable of the same things or moving at the same pace and we never, EVER will be, so we have to let that dream die already. Please try to have some patience & tolerance for those of us who are a little slower at this process than you might be. We’d REALLY appreciate it.
