Μια εγκάρδια συζήτηση για την πορεία που περπατάει κάποιος και την επιλογή που έχει για να είναι ο πραγματικός εαυτός του. Η έκφραση και η δημιουργία δεν αφήνουν άλλη επιλογή ενώ ταυτόχρονα έρχονται να σε φέρουν αντιμέτωπο με όλες τις πλευρές του εαυτού σου.

Maybe we should also start writing in school publications?
