A tale of a life reshaped
Today is a magical day. You’ve found a token, an amazingly rare, once in a lifetime, use it now or it’s gone token that will allow you to change one thing, and only one thing, in your life. You can alter that thing to be however you want it to be from this day forward [...]
I was reading the other day a post about the idiocy of taking children away from their parents because they’re fat.
