“The older you get, the better you realize you were.”

To wisely live your life, you don’t need to know much just remember two main rules for the beginning: You better starve, than eat whatever And better be alone, than with whoever.

There’s no better feeling than realizing you no longer reside in the same realm you used to. Growth is so beautiful.

Whoever plays well on a given day, that player wins.
