Somehow my sister, one...

Home.
Ah, to be home. Time is flying by. Two weeks goes by too quickly when it comes to time with family. Flight back to NYC will be a bummer. Moving makes you appreciate things more. Makes you cling on to certain things more tightly.

Consume Wisely or Lose Points →
You’re a consumer, I’m a consumer, Everybody’s a consumer.
The things you consume are a direct reflection of you. The choices you make, the values you uphold (or don’t uphold), your style, your taste, your interests and priorities. Being a regular patron of McDonald’s will lose you a few points in some circles.
Consume Wisely.
