from thoreau's walden

You Might Want To Scruntinize Life In A Differant Way. To Transcend From Your Past Mistakes. You Don't Want To Live Life In A Cursory Way. The Retrogress Shouldn't Be Based On How You Live Now. You Also Don't Want To Be Superficial About Yourself, But You Want To Be Protrude. You Don't Just Want To Be Conclusive, But Fathom Every Moment Of Nature And Enjoy It. Discover And Admire, And Be Potent, Be Fearless, But Remember To Be Exemplary. :)
Sometimes You Need To Escape The Real World And All The Daily Routines And Acually Enjoy What The World Really Has To Offer.
