Hey guys, long time no talk I guess... How have y'all been? I started school last week and my birthday is in two weeks so yay I guess. I'm learning French and Portuguese, along with already knowing Spanish and English so I'm trying new things. Just remember that I love you guys and if you ever need to reach out to anyone in anyway I am here. Stay safe, eat, drink, sleep, please don't do drugs but other than that try to enjoy being however old you are kid teen young adult or whatever, even if your a boy, girl, something in between, or nothing at all. Rember I am here and I support you :)

*My favorite poem*
          
          I met a traveller from an antique land,Who said
          
          “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
          Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
          
          Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
          And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
          Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
          Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
          The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
          And on the pedestal, these words appear:
          
          My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
          Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
          Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
          Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
          The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
          
          -percy bysshe shelley
          
          Meaning:"power, legacy, and command" a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of political power

            The poem is thought to have been inspired by a gigantic statue of Rameses II that was bought for the British Museum by the Italian explorer Giovanni Belzoni. It was written in late 1817 as part of a competition between Shelley and his friend Horace Smith, and was published in The Examiner in January 1818.
