First of all, love the House reference. I don’t know if he’d agree with chasing love, but then again, he did chase after Cuddy! It’s amazing how something so normal to a fluent speaker is such a win ...

It's mad how much our environment really changes out mental states. Since going away I now look at comfort at the enemy. When you're comfortable you don't strive for change, and change is what (imo) w...
