Be the kind of person that it is easy to be friends with. Be generous, be helpful. Invest time in your friends, especially as you get past your 20's.
Week #39, 2024
The rain is either a huge inconvenience that is ruining your plans, or just another interesting twist in the day's adventure and possibly some new puddles to jump in.
Week 20, 2024
There are myriad opportunities each week to inch towards the goal of being a better version of yourself. All it takes is a tiny bit of preparation. Be ready to reclaim your stolen time, don't be a chump.
