Preface#
But when I stood outside the ancient Galister Cemetery, one hand holding my Nikon camera and the other resting on the cemetery fence, watching the clouds swarm in, I finally understood that there was no real story to seek. This epiphany was terrifying, a jolt of awakening, but at the same time, it was enchanting. I realized that the only story is the one we create ourselves, and it is at this moment that the real adventure begins.

People are just people, no matter where they are. I have taught in the East, Germany, Egypt; wherever I go, the questions people ask are the same. The only thing that matters is how you spend your life and what thoughts are in your heart.

04 Embraces and Kisses#
Humanity strives for stability, resisting change at all costs. We want to maintain the status quo, even though our evolution comes from change. We want to ensure safety while pursuing consistency and predictability, but at the same time, time waits for no one, and action must be taken immediately to move forward.

07 Sudden Understanding#
But they seem to say that we are only slightly different from humans; humans wish to control nature, even their own lives, investing more energy in accumulation, progress, and domination. Humans are outlaws, traitors, and troublemakers on Earth; despite achieving so much, they will always be inferior to other species because their fear of death is so great that they convince themselves they cannot be destroyed, invincible. "We don't do such things," the birds reluctantly say, "for us, death is the most natural thing in life, and when nature decides to start the cycle, death will appear."

08 Something Feels Off#
This world is filled with confusion; people wander the streets like timid ghosts, driving as if they are in autopilot mode. Fear is a feeling—fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of abandonment, fear of death. I don't think everyone sees the world this way; it's just me. Where have all my beautiful feelings gone?
