DIALOGUE WITH THEM
What could you try for the first time?

NOT MUCH BUT IN WHOLE
What principles define how you live? Contentment, though not woo by too many, but it’s best companion that prevents my thoughts from unhealthy comparison.

PERSONAL GOAL
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? It was a passion driven scene, As I consider the limitations at the balcony of needs, Every options looks impenetrable, But unwearied pursuit says no.
