growing up, i always felt equally connect to and disconnected from  almost everything and everyone, like i didn’t fully belong anywhere. sometimes i thought of it as something negative (and some days i still do), especially because i also felt that i simply had to decide on one of my interests, talents or type of people i get along with in order to be fully accepted.
additionally, i always felt like i’m not smart, intellectual, immigrant, educated or talented enough to even be accepted by anyone.
turns out you don’t have to decide on one thing and you aren’t less authentic if you simply allow yourself to fully experience and express every facet of you.
i’m very thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to study a very intellectual and extremely interesting topic while having worked at places with so many different people from different cultures and backgrounds.
and because i never fully decided on just one aspect, I’ve had a lot of deep and important conversations – with people both, out of and within my bubble.

I’m a firm believer that having conversations with as many people as possible makes us grow and evolve as a society – in the end i think we’ll notice the things we have in common and how it made us feel more than anything else.

i think that’s a very important  realization, maybe even one of the most important ones.
