  4. A proud feeling when you see someone is success because of your help

Assignment 3: Surrealism



So I was thinking about my dream. My biggest dream is to travel the world. Since there are some limitations, like time management, how far the places are, hard accommodation etc. I was thinking that I want to have a place that I lived in, is just near the places that I want to be. So it just effortless to go to that place. I can reach those places easily.

EXERCISES



Come check the process!
