Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;And once the storm is over, you won&rsquo;t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won&rsquo;t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won&rsquo;t be the same person who walked in. That&rsquo;s what this storm&rsquo;s all about.&rdquo; <br /> ― Haruki Murakami

Free is the man who knows no limits

confined is the man who knows not to be free.

Free is the cricket that learns to jump,

but not the cricket that experiences freedom.

Free is the man who escapes confinement,

but happy is the man who has never been confined.

Happy is the caterpillar
free is the butterfly
