End of the Year

As the year approaches people start to list down the things they would like to accomplish on the coming year. Sometimes we write it down on a notebook, but never come to the point to check mark stuff we have done off from our list. Sometime we pretend we will do it and keep putting it off.

Not like in a book everything is written down as you read the thoughts from the author. Last night I was searching a new beach place to explore for the end of this year. I came up with a picture of a couple my friend knew. I asked, her why she hasn't removed her past i
