Genius is born - not paid

Genius is born - not paid
-Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

This quote is my favorite. I liked it because the quote is meaningful. You can think on a smart person and then say " Why aren't I so smart?". Cleverness cant be bought. It is congenital. I liked the meaning. I really like small quotes like this one. Cleverness is born and you cant pay to be genius.

I think this is a good quote.

The letter in the shoebox

Dear Nanzeen

 My sister, I hope you are good and having a good life with your husband. I have founded true love and I am happy with him. We live in India now. We have problems to find food some days. I don't have so much money. I want a job, but here in India it`s not so many jobs right now. I want you to move in here in my house. I feel so much alone and it will be so much better with you in here. I pray every day in hope that you one day will move in to my house.

You left me behind for this wedding. This man is so much older than you, Nanzeen! It makes me feel bad...

I dream about you and me walk together in the street. Holding hands, eating dinner that you have made (since you like to make dinner) and watching movies together, laughing and having fun. I hope that you take contact to me so we could deal a meeting with each other.

I really love you my dear sister. Take care of yourself and I hope to see you soon. I promise to write you more often. 

I love you

Hazina.

Walking around.

Today we went for a walk outside the school. We walked in the forest until we came to a cabin. It was abandoned.  We walked on a forest road, asphalt and gravel. The road was very long. I did not walked to the end of the road but I saw it was a long way. I think we walked 750 m.
 I saw forest, asphalt and a sign. I smelled grass and wet wood. I hear the wind in my ears.



This picture is like the road I walked on.
