A question I have had on my mind lately is “why do we put so much value in material items or just stuff?” We work our hind ends off in life to buy stuff, whether it be luxury stuff or cheap stuff.

Youth is a wonderful and exciting time for many of us. The opportunities, knowledge and time seem never ending.
