Who was I trying to impress? I'm no fighter at all right now. I'm barely holding myself from exploding over a little emotion. Why then am I trying to tell myself every time that I should fight? Activism
In our digital age, we forgot how to forget. One could refer to the entire and precise chat history of what happened years ago, whether it’s pleasant or disturbing.

goal is to dig into some of off-the-shelf tools to provide the data on
resource planning for your The Measurement System. Papers
