How to find what works
Oh, hi friends!
Whatever works…for right now.
That’s the new motto of the moment.

I deleted Snapchat to free up space on my phone and I miss DJ Khaled more than I thought possible. This lil' clip has to suffice.
Never give up, never surrender... Put this money in your savings account... Another one...
