Hiya! I just wanted to correct myself in my earlier post on El Salvador, I wrote something along the line of it being "one of the safest countries in the world", however it is the safest country in the western hemisphere.

Heyy! I wanted to share something I recently found out about that I find absolutely incredible!! I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of the country, El Salvador, no? It WAS one of the most dangerous countries in the world, but now? It is now one of the safest countries, safer than the US. How, you ask? El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele!! Praise God!!!

Everyone is turning their background orange,why is that?

Because it is fall and everyone want to be festive! I changed mine to a bright red!

I think it is because it is fall color.

Because it's fall... Everyone is just trying to be festive :)

I changed mine because of fall! Wanted to get into the season! 🍁

Falling into autumn colors is just a fun activity!

I have an aquamarine background to show it is chilly in autumn. Does that count?

Yeah! Where I live, it's cold every fall, but this year, it's oddly warm.... We broke a record

I was just thinking how pretty your background is! And yeah, I think it counts!
