21 histoires, 21 vies. Between two subway stops on a random Tuesday, miles away from the sea. Or between two dips in the ocean, because it is way too hot to sit still for long. Wherever you are: take a story. Let it carry you. I hope this book, filled with stories, each with its own rhythm, energy, and soul, makes you feel alive, inspired, or simply a little more connected. Maybe it will take you somewhere new, even if just for a few pages.
