For the three months that have already gone by I can’t complain and I am not sorry for the time spent, since it has been awesome, motivating, and stimulating, as well as disappointing, frustrating and

tiring. Also, hopefu, enfuriating and dark. What is depressing also strengthens you. I could go on, but I

think it all boils down to everything that is necessary to share in order to achieve a more conscious and responsible life in relation to my

surroundings.
