Jason MrazAnother year is fast approaching. Go be that starving artist youโre afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel.

The world has much more to offer than whatโs on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world.
