I must be a mermaid. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
