"So what?" is one of the most liberating questions. Once you realize that other people's perception of you... Or their hate... Or their boos... Can't actually stop you... Then you become something terrifying to the trolls... Untouchable.

Daily reminder that nicotine is orders of magnitude more addictive than caffeine. It’s not a problem… until it is. And then it REALLY is. (also, it becomes a problem way faster than most people even realize) If you’re looking to boost energy and focus in pursuit of increased
