I Have Learned To Go Fully In The Face Of My Dreams. I Would Recommend You Do The Same. Now Is The Time In Your Life To Be Selfish. To Explore. To Take Chances. Remember Being Selfish Is Not The Same As Being Self-indulgent. You Have The Gift Of Time. Use It To Do What You Love. Believe Anything Is Possible And Then Work Like Hell To Make It Happen.
