I believed and continue to hope that each of us has a duty to follow our dreams, regardless of financial or emotional obstacles. A man’s ideal, in my view, is part of what represents him, makes him unique, fulfills him.
For me, writing, like painting, is my way of expressing myself, of fighting certain things, or of reminding loved ones that history is not made available to us to agree with it. We learn history to show our respect to those who lived it, and if we are lucky, we also learn through it how to stop making mistakes.
I manifest in color and in writing because I don’t know how to live otherwise.
