            Wanting to change the world is a big dream, but also a tough challenge. However, it's pretty rewarding if you pull it off. Want to try it? Here's something I realized just a couple weeks ago. The power to change the world or anything around us is present in anyone. It just depends on how you use it. I like to call these types of changes as "Creation, Sustain, or Destruction." The names are pretty self-explanatory; Creation is simply making new things to happen in you, your surroundings, and everyone you know, or don't know.

Well, I again, learned more and more about myself. I was able to express how I felt through writing on this account, especially the one about Valentine's day! I poured emotions into that post. Little by little, I'm enjoying writing, better than last time, I should say. I remember before, I tried writing a short novel out of boredom, I did give up on it, but activities like these make me want to continue it, as during the beginning of this account, the posts I wrote were mostly for obligatory purposes. But now, I enjoy doing this, I have mentioned it many times, but I won't get tired of it. Writing has been one of my ways I can express my feelings, without having to repeat it to a different perso...
