Existential quantification

My wonderful teacher once asked “ What moment in your life made you really happy”. There is no definite answer, being able to wakeup everyday makes me happy. Stretching in my comfy bed makes me smile. Listening to the birds chirping, the sun beaming into my eyes. There are no words that can describe that happiness, its different than receiving a present or a brand new car. Getting up to brush my teeth, looking at the mirror seeing myself. Having the privilege to shower under warm water. Looking…

When I was younger, I always wanted to be a writer. I loved the idea of someone reading my thoughts and ideas as they were printed on paper. As of now technology has advanced quite well and has made the process of sharing information a great deal easier. I can proudly say that I am now a blog owner.

We had not yet gotten in contact with our fourth partner, as he attended the wrong lecture and was not responding to our messages to him. It did not cause too much of an issue at that moment by not having him at this…
