We grew up in our hometown, surrounded by loved family and friends, serving as our foundation and anchor. However, we often ponder what lies beyond this comfort zone (Jung, "The past is not forgetful, it is hidden within us"). As time passed, we discovered the world was larger and more complex than anticipated. Each step towards a new direction led us to new lands and families, revealing interconnected threads of our existence (anonymous, "Every step towards a new direction is an adventure in itself").
Despite the distance, our family bonds remained strong, teaching us that the greatest distance is between the head and the heart (Jung, "The greatest distance is that between the head and the heart"). Reuniting was not simple; we had to accept our new lives while letting go of the past. We realized both worlds were integral to our development.
Our journey continues to be a voyage of discoveries and challenges, leading us towards infinity, regardless of place or family ties (Escher, "The world is a vast network of interconnected threads").
