There’s a world we can visit if we go outside. We can follow the road. There’s a world we can visit if we go outside. No one knows
We are born. We die. This will happen to us all. What we do in between those two events, however, is for us to decide. We can be whatever we want, do whatever we want, go wherever we want. The world is at our fingertips. Back in the day, if you chose to stay in […]
