One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

life
friends I've made, sights I've seen, places I've been
Ieperfest

Teach, Learn, Share

Be the change you want to see in this world, the future is to those who are willing to make their hands dirty.
We should be saving the planet for mankind instead FROM mankind. Earn the love you think you deserve, don't take anything for granted, nothing is unconditional. Appreciate what you've got
realize that there's always another day with new opputunies, don't let a negative experience bring you down and start over, trial and error, press rewind hit repeat. A person who never makes mistakes is unlikely to make anything

Be patient, Rome wasn't built in one day
The easy way isn't always the best way.
Educate yourself, raise awareness, be a catalyst for change

go vegan
do 'something'
buy vinyl
may the force be with you:-)
