Noise, Despacito
“You need to build a mausoleum in your head with big iron doors so that nobody can get in there except you.

“We don’t know how close we are to feeling good.” Dr. Hyman By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you ever worked so much you started to feel numb? This is a familiar place for me. Familiar but unpleasant.
