Happiness and Depression are Choices
I’ve never been a materialistic person. I could lose everything I own because ultimately, it means absolutely nothing to me. My most prized possessions are my guitars - all of which I built myself from scratch - yet I would not shed a single tear if they burned in a fire. Actually, I have given [...]
