Life is so short and death comes by so quickly, especially taking away the best ones from our side. What does somebody leave behind death? A legacy? But what kind of legacy and through whom and how?

My Goal
As a human being, I try to be better everyday, make people around me better, and hopefully, leave the world in a better place. But everything starts from within because that's the only part I have control over.
