What do you consider as the most important learning from your studies at LEAF Academy?

1. "Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful." (Oscar Wilde, 1890) We don't ever really know what's going on, and I've fallen in love with that uncertainty. 2. I learned a huge lesson about love. I've become a sort of hippie, with a not-exactly-textbook definition of love. I see love as something you can give endlessly, and I think you can fall in love with anything - a sensation, a feeling, the evening sky or a look somebody throws you. I think at some point I fell in love with humanity. I found out that everyone can be understood if you try hard enough. There is nobody in this world whom I hate, only people I pity. I found out how terribly similar we all are, and to what extent our temperaments are just products of differing uncontrollable circumstances. This means that I never get angry at people. Instead, I ask and listen until I understand where they're coming from. I listen to understand, and from that, the love comes naturally.

What are the biggest achievements that you are proud of?

I've struggled a lot with confidence, identity and relationships. Now, I think I'm able to stand up for myself more than I ever could, my personality is more my doing than I ever thought it could be, and my relationships are more genuine than they have ever been. That is what I'm proud of.
