Letting shit go is more cost-effective than fighting for one’s principles sometimes.”
“Have you ever been on a sugar-free diet? You need that sweet taste so bad, but after a few days, the craving starts to subside, you stop getting headaches, and after a week you feel wonderful.

When you think of just the taste and the sugar rush you can easily become addicted to it again, but the indigestion and migraine come along with the high, so do you want to have a piece of cake?”

Exactly what it smells like!
Erre con erre cigarro Erre con erre barril Rápido corren los carros Por la línea del ferrocarril.
No idea what this means but it is fun to try to say out loud!
And it turns out that apologizing really does set you free. It’s not about the person you’ve hurt; it’s about letting it go so you can move on. And most importantly, it’s about acknowledging when you are wrong, which I have been many times. Learning from your mistakes is a powerful thing.
