“To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.”―Aristotle

Sometimes I miss who I was before. I miss the places and people, I miss the extremely intense feelings only the first experiences bring and the careless lifestyle only the very young people have.
Today I went back exactly 15 years. I walked back all those 15 years one by one to get to 1999… Back then...
