January Review in 5 Lists
I’m only going to review my own January.

Day 4: Role Models
Who are your role models, and what values do they embody that you admire? It would be the ultimate cliché for me to say Jesus, wouldn't it? As discussed at least twice previously in this blog, I managed to be raised with both a lot of religion and none at all, due to my parents … Continue reading Day 4: Role Models
