I guess my reasoning behind this is “if it is not broke, then don’t fix it .”Every once in a while, I will step out of my comfort zone and attempt something new. I’m not going to lie and say it turn...

I’ve made many bad decisions over the years but deciding to do this was definitely pretty high on the list of stupid things I’ve done. It had nothing to do with the c...
