What was your first ambition you remember fiercely having?
I wanted people to listen when I talk.

A particular teacher/counselor in my high school that I admired before lost this admiration due to some conversation I had with him regarding social/political matters. I found his ideas shallow and limited.

My divorce

Philosophy
What’s a modern issue you are passionate about that others aren’t?

Be humble and truthful towards me. I do the same for you.
