Hello everyone,
      My name is Franklin, I am new here and i want to quietly introduce myself. I am someone who tends to sit back, observe, and take things in before speaking. I find it more comfortable in a calm, quiet space than  being among crowds, but I have been looking for a platform where I can express myself a little more freely without minding who is watching or reading , but me just being my real self. I feel this platform seemed like the right place for a head start.

Creatively, am drawn to storytelling (I think the best stories are the ones that leave room for the readers  to create their own endings). I am a big thinker and sometimes could be lost in my own headspace, so I enjoy writing fiction, especially stories that explore emotions (thou I suck with love personally), hidden worlds, sometimes with a touch of fantasy or mystery. I also like visual storytelling, though I don’t share it often. Most of my creative work are kept away in notebooks, but I am hoping to share more of it here as time goes on.

Outside of the creative side of things, I have a few hobbies that keep me balanced and level headed.
Basketball is one of them, whether I am playing a casual game with friends or just shooting around, it helps me clear my mind and keeps me active. I also enjoy playing video games, both for the escape and the strategy. I am more of an adventure  type of gamer, especially games with immersive stories or good competitive modes, and then there is spot betting( common I gamble responsibly), which I know isn’t for everyone, but I find it,  somehow fascinating  to predict the outcome of an undecided event, especially if the outcome can fetch me few bucks.

I don’t have a big project or a brand to promote. Just a quiet voice, a few ideas, and a willingness to share what I can when I feel ready. If you are someone who also enjoys taking your time, thinking deeply, or quietly cheering from the sidelines, hello. I think we could get along just fine.
