 » What felt so real for two weeks now in less than 24 hours feels like a dream that I woke up from and somehow ended up with a bunch of stuff next to my bed

On the 28th of february I embarked on a journey without realizing that it will be life changing!

Fast forward today Monday 17 March 2025

I can say that I came back home an evolved person with :

New friends from all around the Mediterranean

Lessons that forever shaped the adult that I am

Stories that fueled my artistic and storytelling side

Connections that healed my inner child

I came back home with hope that the youth of today are in-fact capable of change

Not because of what we said or the sessions we had

But because of how we lived together

How we got sick together

Laughed together

Cried together

Were exhausted yet so excited together

And most importantly how much we grew together in a matter of two weeks

What started as a dialogue through words ended up as a dialogue through actions

And that is how we make peace…

Today Monday 17 march 2025

Home in my bed writing this

I can proudly say that I am
