Can you feel it?

When I was younger (about 12 years ago from today), I was very involved with compiling a book called Can you feel it? {It never got fully compiled -I could not feel satisfied with it no matter how many revisions I did to it😜}

I did not have anyone at that time to share my world with, so I started expressing my philosophy and perspectives toward life through my abstract writings. {I like to say things in indirect/philosophical ways!}

Sharing the book intro below. [I still like reading it, makes me think I always had this spirit in me to gift something to the world through my existence!]

The original name was Fister (a fictional name). In fact, Fister was also my original username at 7cups. Later, when someone said they find Fister name offensive, I came up with fristo😀
