Lesson Learnt: If You Like Calfskin, Don’t Buy Pleather. 

We all have preferences. Don't tailor your taste for another's tastebuds. Devalue to be valued equates to no resale value. Receipts deduct imitators, figuratively speaking. The philosophy of life, we make more difficult than is. The reason why, our brains. Sometimes I wish I didn’t have one. Actually I refute that,  I wish I only [...]
