Enjoy By Independence Day Carnitas
Freedom Comes in the Form of a Taco I have a problem living in the moment. My life exists in the form of fear of the future and shame of the past. The present moment seems to not matter. The only time the present matters is when I’m either staring at fatty animal protein nestled…
