Control Your Monster - In a time where we’re criticized for all that we do and all that we are, it’s hard to be true to ourselves because the world is still navigating how to tolerate our individualism. We have a constant need and desire to be their best selves and prove that we have everything in order. We attempt to hide and suppress our demons, but what if we let them out, and took control of them? Let our monsters work for us instead of taking control of us.
