10 Positive Side Effects from Enjoying your Life!
Our bodies will die someday and we will leave this lovely place. Why the %&*$ would we do anything but the things that we enjoy? Sure, we gotta eat food, have a home, wear clothes (otherwise we’ll get arrested — which is a silly rule in my opinion) and all that stuff… and yes, those […]
