I know I shared this to Instagram and Facebook already, but felt it was appropriate to make a post of it. I can not emphasize how much I love...
You know that rare feeling, when everything comes together to make you feel complete, to feel absolutely content with life, and you would be happy to stay in that moment forever? I'm not talking about when you have a good day, when work or home or other parts of your life are going exactly to plan. I'm talking about the times when, despite...
