"Mein größter Wunsch ist eine Welt mit gesunden Menschen, die frei leben können. Mit Kindern, die lachen und miteinander in der Natur spielen. Eine Welt, frei von Gewalt, Diktatur, Geiz und Neid.

That physical battle was harder than I could even begin to explain, but it doesn’t really come close to the one that I went through inside of myself over the years that followed.
