A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
I am not allowed to be afraid. My mother made me like that. As a child, if I was afraid of the dark, she would lock me in the closet. Things like this. And she would talk about the time she spent in the concentration camp, but not about being afraid, only about the good side of it.
I'm very good at breaking up with people. Very good.
