I'm serious y'all..."the shift" is real. There is something very defining that takes place when you reach your late twenties. Any of you late twenties folks agree?

Come. As. You. Are, FRIEND. Compiling this from one of the deepest areas of my heart. My friends, you have absolutely no idea just how much YOU mean to ME. You have no idea how much I treasure the days and nights when we skip showers because we stay up until 3:00 am solving the [...]
