QUOTE "You can not run from who you are, who you are is what you have to run for” I remember at the age of fifteen I questio- ned many things. As I grew up and developed into a young adult I dealt with adversities in school, classmates and even at home. There were always differences of opinion and I felt that I did not fit anywhere. I remember being angry one day and I wrote: "the worst thing about art is trying to run away from it". At the age of twenty-five, I wrote on a napkin: “the biggest lie is lying to oneself" while I was watching how people interact around me. Now I am thirty-nine years old and I can see that a phrase I wrote so long ago had evolved and are not the same words but only now I understood that it never changed the meaning. There will always be obstacles, tests, situations and people that will make you doubt who you are and your goals. Even if we do not know who we are or what we want to achieve, the essence of who we are will not change and when we decide to take responsibility to be aware of what our essence is, it does not matter what impediments are presented to us in life. Samoel S.E. “YOU CAN NOT RUN FROM WHO YOU ARE, WHO YOU ARE IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO RUN FOR”
