Pude ver que las cosas que pensé que me estaban atando cuando joven, en realidad me hicieron más libre, porque una vez que sabes dónde está tu casa, puedes huir de ella.
I was able to see that the things I thought were tying me down as a young person, actually made me freer, because once you know where your home is, you're better able to run away from it!
