LIFE BEGINS AT THE END OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
“ I hear voices in the air I hear them loud and clear telling me to listen” as quoted by MGK. I have had many times in my life where I've had to make major decisions that would have a huge impact on my life. The hardest part about the decisions that I have made are people telling me to do one thing or another.
