The beginning of a great journey

I'm temporarily leaving the Bay Area to search for my Personal Legend, a term coined by Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist. "When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize her dreams." It is when the Soul of the World speaks to you to help you find your Personal Legend, which is about following your dreams in the midst of chaos, uncertainty, and hardships.

My journey started ever since I was young. I have a mole on my foot, so according to my mom, I will 'walk' a lot in life and will never work under anyone. Sounds bizarre, but strangely it was the beginning of my Personal Legend. Growing up, I went to 4 different high schools and lived with 3 different families.

Will write more tonight...
