I love the feeling of freedom: when I start a new project or pack my backpack before a trip. I like to draw in the evenings, listen to music on headphones and dream about cities I haven't been to yet. I like people with warm energy, cozy cafes and the feeling that everything is just beginning.

I want to someday earn so much that I don’t have to count every penny and not worry about tomorrow. To have the freedom to choose - projects, cities, people nearby. I dream of saving enough, taking a backpack and calmly traveling around the world, without doubting myself and my capabilities.

I'm 18, a graphic design student in college, and to be honest, I thought I'd get a lot of work. But freelancing turned out to be a different story: one client a week - and that’s luck. Sometimes I look at an empty list of projects and feel like I'm standing at a crossroads where every road leads to a new profession. Now I want to try my hand at illustration, now at video editing, then suddenly I catch myself thinking that I’m interested in marketing. I come from a large family, and this also pushes me to seek stability. I want to help my parents, and not just sit at the computer, updating my email while waiting for the next order. But inside me there is another strong desire - to see the world. I dream of traveling to dozens of countries, from small European cities to bustling Asian streets.

Sometimes I fantasize about boarding a plane without a return ticket and flying to a country I had only read about before. I dream of waking up in different cities, drawing street signs, meeting new people and feeling that every idea I have can change my life.
