“Many thoughts often devour us. We all have a more or less beautiful past and we can all go haywire, but considering lived experiences as a learning an opportunity… will help us to love the present and the future of life.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: Molti pensieri spesso ci divorano. Tutti abbiamo un passato più o meno bello e tutti possiamo andare in tilt, ma considerare le esperienze vissute come un'opportunità di apprendimento... ci aiuterà ad amare il presente e il futuro della vita.
