Do you ever feel like you have so much potential, yet you are not able to do things that you’ve always wanted? Maybe you are not at the right place, or maybe you didn’t get that chance or the right platform where you could shine. You were a brilliant kid; a talented and well-performing student. You were special. You went to places others have never been and experienced such moments that others could not even imagine. So adventurous and thrilling.

From where did it all go wrong? All went downhill, spiraling into chaos. You thought you were special. But you grew up to find thousands of people like you, nothing unique about you. The world is hundred times bigger than you saw and perceived. Your experiences were nothing but just some small fractions of existence. You are lost! You are lost because you are very small in contrast to the vastness of everything around you. You are lost because now you are alone.

What happened to you? You have changed, everything, so much so that sometimes it’s unrecognizable, and you weren’t even aware of it. And what happened to your dreams then? Wasn’t it subjected to the spontaneity and the driving force of change? You wanted to fly high, high into the sky, breathing in the freshness of freedom. Yet, here we meet on the ground among the crowd, lost but tirelessly searching for ourselves and who we truly are.
