EASTERN MIRROR: Five things that you cannot live without.

Tensawati Lemtur: (1) I cannot live without my best friends because they’re the only human beings in the world who make me happy always and never make me feel alone.

(2) and also mom and dad! It’s very hard for a 21 year old guy to move on all alone without them coz there’s no one who makes you feel good like them. But I’m trying my best to move on and I believe that they are with me everywhere I go.

(3) I cannot live without headphones on my ears coz music is the key of happiness for me

(4) I cannot live without YouTube. Most of the time I watch YouTube videos and try to make my English more fluent  as I’m not an educated  guy like my friends. So YouTube teaches me a lot.

(5) And movies
