"The abrupt changes I have experienced since the beginning of 2019, caused by the recent pandemic, have destroyed my stability - my way of doing things and the way I relate to others. It is as though much of life has been deprived of its vitality. Yet, beneath the chaos and scarcity is a force that drives me to innovate and grow; life is just below the surface waiting to be free."
