The journey you embark on spontaneously is the longest. In today's society, it is becoming increasingly challenging to weather the online storms and remain true to ourselves. We are enticed by modern science for interventions that often overlook the essence of 'being happy.' However, we must stay close to ourselves to prevent our metaphorical shores from drowning. This scene illustrates the life path where you occasionally need to give your creative, critical self an unfiltered blow. It's for those who persist, with experience in taking exams they haven't studied for. Authenticity is reflected in asking questions and letting go of answers. It's an introduction to oneself. Because if it's not possible to change yourself for others, it's best to change the way you look at yourself." (Steven Thoelen)
