 ...Everyone has their own prisons, everyone lives with them...but when the walls start to close in, when the mirror begins to call you ’tu’... when the sidewalks provoke you and the street seems like your red carpet, gather your luggage, fill it with memories, hopes, emotions, music and arguments, with period illusions...find a friend and start sharing, go at random...leave the tears on the pillow, meet life, clash with pain, steal love, have not one goal but a hundred; try to return because it’s the return that gives meaning to the journey, go around the world, do not go with it; free yourself from yourself and from waiting, to love life you must betray expectations, look around and beware of those who profess to be free, the taste of freedom and fear, only those who fear freedom have the courage to pursue it...
