As a single parent, I had become tyrannical in order to survive, and anything I couldn’t control caused me enormous anxiety.

We have lost our vision for the future. Before, we say, ‘Nothing will be the same. Cars will fly, and we go to the end of the universe.’ We have this kind of naive but exciting idea of the future. Now, the vision has been reduced to ways to select our garbage and how to survive global warming.
