Knowing yourself and expressing it is hip. I think knowing yourself is the real journey, for me anyway. ↗

Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job. ↗
