Porochista Khakpour

You are about to experience the first taste of freedom in your life and that won't be freedom from your parents. You are about to be free from yourself, your old self, the self of your youth. You are, in many ways, about to be born.

Through angers, losses, ambition, ignorance, ennui, what you are picks its way.

Be different, be smart, but most of all accept that heavy torch from me and my generation: be the future. Believe that within you is the ability to always make it a better place than this one.
