I'd never say no to surgery in the future, because I feel like, as I get older, I'm going to face temptation more.

I have vision boards, and people think that I put the vision board up and I look at it all the time, but what I do is, when I'm having an emotional time and I'm stressed out or feeling bad, I go to the store and get all the stuff for a vision board.
