I do believe that some people don't know the difference between right and wrong. Like if it was right from wrong, like I always did and doing it like I knew it was wrong. But like in the addiction, like you don't really. You know the conscience, because at The End Of The Day, however, it's what, also when that addiction wins and you do know that you're doing wrong, that wears away at the soul.
What do you get when you mix a pink bicycle, a troubled past, and an unwavering will to change? You get Matt Taliadoros' incredible journey.
