MY CHOICE

As you can see from those dwellings , they are not constructed from concrete like buildings but rather from scraps, metal sheets, pieces of wood and plastic.

Although being underprivileged, the residents were resilient in their ways. Still they have a decision to make : Fix it or leave it as it is. 

It's a perfect illustration of who I want to be. As long as I'm confident in my ability to remain calm and fight to the last end, I won't flee the problems in my life.

Even in a chaotic environment, life may be still lovely.
