Your Life Will Be Here Before You Know It
2008-03-17 00:00:00 I used to be the teenager who ran away from life. If someone told me that I actually needed to make a decision about my life and what I wanted to do with it, I would find a way to not have to make an actual decision and run away. Something about having ... More About: Life
