Wear Kindness… It Doesn’t Cost Anything

Imagine a world where everyone was kind to one other, looked out for each other and is genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of others. Sounds ideal right?

Show Your Work – The Journey Is The Destination

Back in High school, Mathematics ranked as my favourite subject for many reasons. Mainly because the primary concept of the subject tickles the part of me that likes to figure things out.
