    Yeah okay, Matthew Broderick was definitely distractingly bad here.

    Slowly, we whittle down who we are. We make choices that define us, and fall in love with things that will never leave us. Eventually, we begin to recognize ourselves.

    What if you got it wrong?

    What if you were put together wrong, and you couldn’t go back?

    There is still time.

    Media is such a huge part of who I am. All throughout high school and collage, music underscored most of my life. I lived in my collection. To…
