Stacey Parker
GCF Ambassador
When you glance directly into someone's eyes, you can descry a small-scale world in it, but you wouldn't be able to depict what kind of world that is. Therefore, in the procedure of reversing relationships from strangers to friends, several teeny-weeny aspects would open up apropos your gaze. Throughout conglomerate encounters I was able to delineate that my world consists of an enormous experience, an indispensable amount of feelings towards different people and situations, music and art: in nature, places, aesthetics-everything that surrounds us daily. What's more, my eyes will narrate while typing these eloquent paragraphs.
