Rehabilitation not Repeat Offenders.
For the future of my design I wanted its people to be positive members of society. Did I think this was realistic? No. Even though I got rid of racism and war, I am not naive enough to think I could get rid of all bad behaviour. I don’t believe there will ever be a…

How do you write what people actually want to read?
I’m still learning. I have a hard time with Social Media as it isn’t my forte nor something that I ever thought I’d need/rely on. I don’t understand all the nuances, therefore I don’t really understand how it all works. I haven’t gotten many likes, nor many comments… but is that the only way you…
