Given all the hardship I’ve experienced, it would be easy to think that the world is full of bad people, but I prefer to think that most people are good. It’s just that the good people make less noise.
I tried not to lose hope and remembered a popular mantra from my country: “Forward ever, backward never.
If you don’t know something exists, you can’t want it.
Once, I went on holiday with a girlfriend, and it was really hard because I didn’t know what I was supposed to do with myself. Why were we wasting time like that? I need food, I need clothes, but I don’t need vacation. I didn’t understand that I had the right to take time off work, and to be honest, I still don’t totally get the point of doing nothing on purpose.
One of the saddest things I learned on my journey is that in this life, no one gives you anything for free.
