Read moreOne of my all-time favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs is Today. I’ve been listening to it since I was in middle school.
I rediscovered this song a few days ago when I was digging through the CDs in my car, and for the first time in my life, the lyrics hit me DEEP:

Read moreI have several mentors who I look to for guidance and advice on how to live my best life and be my best self. I love these people dearly and I trust their opinions (because they actually have results that I want).
But this year, I’ve had to stop following most of them.
