Behind it lay a rebellious desire to be &ldquo;free&rdquo;: for me, disorder was synonymous with aliveness and an untamed spirit. For a long time, structure, fixed times, and rules felt to me like a prison that robs you of spontaneity and room to breathe.</p> <p>Yet chaos makes you unfree.</p> <p>It took years for me to truly grasp that for myself. And honestly, this slow transition from chaos to order is still not simply finished today. I have to prove to myself over and over again that structure takes nothing away from me, but on the contrary truly does me good.</p>
