I don't know if this relates but I desire to always be the best but by shear determination and always educating myself to achieve it (even in things I don't necessarily want to educate myself in). I never cheat. I also don't care about beating others as I believe if I deliver the best it all coincides. I also live by and know its true that.... be respectful of everyone as you are going to meet some of the same people on the way down after being at the top. It's inevitable....

Writer on a quest to explore every corner of the world, one country at a time. Fueled by my love for Arcane, oversized hoodies, and weightlifting, I try my best to bring even more fun energy to Bored Panda. My cup of tea? Pop culture, funny content, sharing interesting facts about the world, and creating listicles for fellow Pandas. When I’m not crafting articles, my eyes are still glued to a screen — be it binge-watching my favorite shows, leveling up in video games, or learning Spanish with Duolingo. Always on the hunt for the ultimate playlist, I scour Deezer to find the right tunes to listen to while working on my creative projects.
