They really are just like this…
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more accurate depiction of my life right now.
I’m not quite sure how to describe this… A while back, I used to spend a lot of time visiting my parents on the weekends.

Box one is mostly memorabilia and decorations from Mexico. I still haven’t gotten into that one yet, and when I do, …read more…
