Beyond Language ✨
"Passions are not just things we do—they are doorways into who we are when no one is watching.
When we express them in another language, we do more than practice grammar: we give voice to what moves us.
To speak about your joy, your creativity, your curiosity... is to speak from your essence. And in that act, language becomes something sacred: a bridge between the heart and the world."
