YOU WON’T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY

everything is relative.

and the definition of possible and impossible (i must say subjective one) depends on you.

education, traditions, society and all this collective memory build barriers between your dreams and their achievement.

don’t be afraid and give yourself a favour to try and experience. 

unfasten your seatbelt and fly!
