So I don’t like to take myself to seriously, sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who really gets the joke in my head, and so I like to laugh and I like being around people who like to laugh. I can’t stand people who take themselves too seriously. Life’s to short for that.Continue reading “Overly Serious Politics & People Make Me Sad”
