If you are alive, then you are at war! The Warrior is a project that I made back in 2016 when for some reason I was going through a rough patch in my life. Back in that time, I believed that after this rough patch, there would be peace but life till now taught me that there is nothing called “better days”. Every day is a chance to make a significant change in our life. Later on, when bigger challenges came to me I looked back and thought that the past bad time was way easier to deal with but it definitely prepared me for my next battles!
