The favorite part is that I notice things when I'm alone. And when I notice things, I notice the beauty in them as well. I guess when you're alone you really start looking around because there's not much to do, no one to talk to. I notice the light reflecting on metal hangers, and the sky's blue is so intense and deep, the wavy lines of the curtains. And I do get inspired to write or draw. Being alone can help you see more beauty in this busy world.

I think that people should check what they say before they go and post it on the internet. False information in my opinion is really something that makes some people go crazy.

I believe that facebook should fact check political speech. I think that this would avoid a lot of political problems. As it says in the article, “Although the right to free speech is a valued ideal in America, it should not come before people’s safety.” I 100 percent agree and believe that the countries safety should come first before anything else. Also in the article that this policy could sway an election. This is very true. If this was a policy it would make politics much more simpler. Although some people disagree with this and believe that freedom of speech is more important than if the facts are true. However, I disagree and believe that there should be a fact check.

I feel that it should be checked.
