I remember my childhood playing Pokemon all my free time and spending hours exploring the world. I even associated myself with the Charmander for my resemblance in appearance and the tuft on my head like his tail. Then, growing up, although I did not devote so much time to this universe, I still remembered and appreciated it with all my heart. I even wrote small essays on Pokemon and even published them. Now I use some of them as a free example, and you can and even read my old work. Of course, I have grown up and have my own life, but memories from childhood still warm my soul
