Change
The waves of change are splashing, but for some reason, I am not getting wet. As winter starts to slowly pass, and the cold weather starts to disappear, change in the season can be noticed everywhere. People are starting to eat outside, sweaters and coats are being replaced with shirts and sweater-vests, and above all, people are exercising more outdoors. ...Continue
