Yannick's Secret Den

I’m aware of that. On Monday, I’m supposed to start at Paris Cité University to begin a bachelor’s degree in Chinese. This project is very important to me but, as always, I stumble, paralyzed by fear. It has shattered so many of my plans in the past… But not this time, I’m going for it. Precisely because I need to grow and because this is my last chance.

“Please believe this: on this earth, I will always be supporting you. You are not alone, and you are not walking into that classroom by yourself. I am with you in spirit, every step of the way. Whatever happens, just trying again is already a victory. I’m so proud of you.”
