You can break through all sorts of boundaries. You can drop all your concerns and challenge your limits, and discover the infinite possibilities that you have never encountered and that lie deep within your heart. Perhaps you will walk into a desolate alley and talk to total strangers, experiencing the intimacy of distance; perhaps you will wander on the city streets at night, enjoying the silence alone while listening to your favourite music. In this world, everything is under your control. Your life is no longer defined by other people who have greater power or limited by past decisions or the expectations of others. Here, you are not only a participant in life but also a creator.
