"Adolescence is the place where things change, merge and transform. The body vibrates, incomprehension, fear and uncertainty mingle with the uncontainable force of the one who wants to be someone else but does not know which one. The moment of the foundation approaches, diffuse and confused but inevitable. One day we are one and the next we experience being someone different, new and brilliant in an old, inhospitable and hungry world".
