Well, I think that when I was in grade school,

I was still very much loyal to the way of thinking

that I heard around me,

so I couldn't imagine much further

than being either a lawyer or a psychologist.

And it's only a few years later

that I found enough freedom in myself

to really ask what drives me

and what I would like to do with my life.

And maybe only ten years later or more,

my path really started revealing itself

and these are the moments when I was brave enough

to really listen to what I want to do

with every waking moment.
