Express Yourself!
"To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong."-Joseph Chilton Pearce
Everyone is creative. As children we fearlessly danced to songs, colored outside of the lines, wore a superman cape to the grocery store, and should've won Oscars for tearful performances of barely there scratches. When did expressing your personal style become "wrong"?
When they reminisce over you.
The best thing about memories is making them.
