Purpose Statement: Three items that greatly represent me.
Part 1: The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. This quote is by Albert Einstein, which is a very interesting quote to me. So today I’ll be showing you guys three items that illustrates the illusions of my past, present, and future.

Sometimes I take the wrong turn, sometimes I make mistakes and I know I’ll get lost, but eventually, I’ll find my way out.
