You will feel a lot of security and great warmth, a path full of love and big dreams. In it, you will dream and create within yourself all the determination to achieve your dreams. You will close your eyes and fly within yourself, sailing through worlds known only to you. You will organize your thoughts, hide your chaos, and live what you spent your nights planning. You will see a green world, understand the true meaning of genuine laughter, only to discover that what you were doing was merely an optical illusion. In this journey, you will truly live, in the original sense of the word, not what you thought. The road will stretch with all this tenderness until you reach its midpoint, losing security and warmth. You'll be frustrated, defeated, and your biggest dreams will be just to stay in peace. You'll hate closing your eyes because you hate facing yourself. You'll relive all the chaos within you and forget how things fall into place. You'll go back to your optical illusion, erase what you knew about living, and return to your fake meanings. It's the same road that brought you so much joy, the one that will sadden you. The road you walked so smoothly is the same one that will keep your steps zigzagging. The road that illuminated you is the same one that will extinguish you...

❌️ All these dreams, aspirations, ups and downs, obstacles, successes, and victories stem from the depths of this person. This time, we will do something unique. You will meet inspiring speakers who have experienced the smooth and winding paths. This experience will be like a dream."
