AS A KID, I ALWAYS HAD MANY FRIENDS. INVITED to every birthday, every sleepover. I played games with everyone at lunch break. never had to try. Being around people was just the easiest thing in the world.

THEN SOMETHING SHIFTED WHEN I WENT TO middle school. I COULDN'T FIND MY PLACE ANYMORE. SO I STARTED BUILDING THINGS ON MY OWN, IN MY HEAD. My own world. I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND what is was.

I choose not to go to university and tries many things instead. animated a puppet in New York. I launched a cookie business in Switzerland. I moved to Paris to sell a yellow sport t-shirt that said "move your ass" and made funny videos on social media. That was weird. I couldn't find what i was looking for and why behind it.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT FELT RIGHT. MOST OF IT I'M A LITTLE ASHAMED OF. BUT IT'S PART OF MY STORY. AFTER EACH VENTURE, I CAME BACK TO MYSELF, TO MY ROOM IN SWITZERLAND. AND EACH TIME, I UNDERSTOOD A LITTLE MORE.

The way to live truly is to take yourself as a fruit and peel back the layers. Each time you peel, you get closer to yourself. Each project, each failure, each attempt — a layer removed. Until what's left is real.
But the only way is to go out there and try it for yourself.
