@geopippen: Never shy away from the experience of the “American Thrill,” whether it’s good or bad. Life’s highs and lows are what shape us, and if you’ve never faced the bad, how could you truly appreciate the good? The struggles, the triumphs, the heartbreaks, and the victories…they’re all part of the ride. Embrace it all, because it’s the full spectrum of experience that makes LIFE worthwhile.
