"I am twenty-five years old. I did that my sister considered was important. But when I was eight I was a poet and writer.
And nobody had told me it was important to write. Since then I have done nothing but things that were important, according to my sister, studying, graduating, succeed in life. On the street I look at people who spend while I should go to talk to someone to give me work. I tell myself that every one of those people is already having success in life..."
