Elderly people have a great wealth of knowledge from their past experiences which can offer great ideas to a person of a young age. Usually, the elderly are not treated with much respect or are left in nursing homes and forgotten by the families.

Inspiration

A friend or a special someone can only tell you but it is up to the receiver in what to do with it. Don’t let it die, keep it alive.

I enjoy writing at night on my bed. It is because at this time there is silence everywhere. I use pen and paper to do my writing since I feel more comfortable with my thoughts than using a computer.

Depending on my thinking, sometimes I think slowly as things are very hard to put into words. There are times when I didn’t write anything in proper order because I had no idea how to put sentences together correctly.

As I progress, I understand that I will improve by writing more and more.
