I always value moments with the more experienced homo sapiens.

👀Why so?

They've got the knowing and the doing to share seasoned through time.

The artist can only share the whats, whys, hows of the the art.
In life, our actions, decision, thoughts, plans in the past can never be undone.

💎"To me, Life is good as long as I have these three things:
Ability to taste my food
Ability to hear things around me, that includes gossips
Ability to read."
