CIRCLE
Life is a circle, it all depends what do you do with it, it can be a blackhole or a lake to dive in.
Das Leben ist ein Kreis, es kommt darauf an, was du damit machst. Es kann ein dunkles Loch oder ein Teich sein.
Hayat bir daireden ibaret, onunla ne yaptığına bağlı, bir kara delik de olabilir, içine atladığın bir göl de.
الحياة عباره عن حفره إما أن تكون حفره سوداء !
أو أن تكون بحيرة صالحه للغطس
La vida es un círculo; todo depende de lo que hagas con ella. Podría ser un agujero negro o un lago para bucear.
