Thoughts I’ve had during the last few weeks…. “Sink or swim,” is really just a crafty way to say, die or live. “Survival is my best revenge,” is just a snarky way to say, you underestimated me, joke is on you. “Fake it till you make it,” is the justification of entrepreneurs that translates to, […]
I’ve had enough. Enough of the people saying that “Indianapolis is just too humble,” and, “We’re just afraid to admit we’re cool.” I’m a Midwestern kid with Midwest Lake roots, and I love the low key nature of my fellow natives.
