I love old houses. I'd like to wander through some of the most rundown empty homes just to get the feel of them.

A life does not begin without childhood and its innocence, and no one knows what will happen to their fate.
The most important thing is that throughout childhood we all had life experiences and we did not care about anything, but in our day we lived with happiness.
