It destroys and preserves the old at the same time.
I am constantly seeking. Information, expertise, experience, education.
It is Saturday afternoon. No fancy plans, no outings, no meet ups. Not because I do not have friends, it just feels like not moving out with a thought of better staying at home and figure out some 'real shit’. So, I decide to pick up a book to feed that feeling. And my current phase is just so…
