When you are young spend at least 6 months to one year living as poor as you can, owning as little as you possibly can, eating beans and rice in a tiny room or tent, to experience what your “worst” lifestyle might be. That way any time you have to risk something in the future you won’t be afraid of the worst case scenario.
The stories I’m writing now are more and more about memory, about the past, and about how we reconstruct the past.
"In the end, we are all just stories. What matters is how we tell them."
