It is most appropriate that my new life starts on this date. When fifteen years ago I've experienced one of the happiest moments in my life, with my feet landing and walking the streets of New York City. Only a year later, those very streets were flooded with blood and tears, resounding with the screams of agony of the wounded city after its lost children.

On this very date I open a new (online) chapter of my life, with hope and faith that our destinies will be connected again, somewhere in the future. Needless to say, New York, I still love you.
