“Ricordo i momenti e i posti che non donavano vita. Bisognerebbe fare uno sforzo coraggioso per lasciare i posti vuoti o solitari. La vita è troppo preziosa. Guardando al passato mi rendo conto che siamo noi a creare il nostro destino e i suoi aspetti negativi con la nostra passività. Non dovremmo mai accettare la povertà della vita.
