I would say that I find inspiration daily. It can come from a great song or the feeling of well-being, which I often experience when dancing or engaging in creative editing. Traveling and finding clothes that suit me also inspire me. There's so much that sparks my inspiration, and I believe that inspiration is constantly around us; it's just a matter of being open to it and embracing it.

Do you have any particular interests, and why do you enjoy them?

I have a deep passion for singing; I attend singing lessons approximately once a month. The reason I love it is because, in singing, I feel truly present in the moment. It allows me to disconnect from my daily routine and stress. Moreover, it's an activity where one can visibly see personal development. The more you sing, immerse yourself in it, and practice, the better you become. Witnessing this progress is incredibly inspiring for the soul. Singing is not only a source of joy but also a healthy and therapeutic outlet.

What drives you?

There are many things that drive me. Setbacks can be a driving force, as can the challenge of proving wrong those who say, "You can't." Additionally, the constant sense of creativity and personal development motivates me. Reflecting on my singing experience, tackling a completely new song and initially thinking it doesn't sound great, only to be told by my vocal coach that I've only sung it once, underscores the importance of patience. Seeing that patience, in any situation, leads to improvement and tangible results is an enormous inspiration and driving force to keep going.

Is there anyone who inspires you?

I can be incredibly inspired by individuals who achieve their goals, pursue their passions, and forge their own path. Here, I don't want to mention a specific name because everyone carries a story and can contribute something valuable. I believe there are numerous people who can inspire us in various ways, making it challenging for me to single out just one person.

Has there been a moment in your life when you gained a significant insight?

I believe that all kinds of experiences offer insights continuously. The younger you are, the more intensely you may react to different events and situations. Life tends to repeat itself, providing more experiences and insights that ultimately make navigating life a bit easier.

What is the absolute best thing you know?

The absolute best thing I know is the feeling of accomplishing a goal and being proud of it. It could be related to work or something I've achieved personally. Treating oneself, whether it's a trip or buying something one loves, where you feel you've accomplished it and have the opportunity to indulge, is truly gratifying.
