I believe In Grey
For a long time, I believed that to be an interesting person I had to have a very specific opinion about everything, that I had to pick one side or the other, never stay in the middle.

Nature is…
We humans have spent our existence trying to find a God, thinking that would help us understanding the reason for our lives.

God is Nature, … Continue reading Nature is…

No … Continue reading Ali
