When I was young, my dad gave me the nickname 'snail'. I was slow to eat, I trailed behind on walks, I took my time with everything I did. I was the opposite of my dad who always has to go and be doing something. He's anxious, I'm anxious. I'm still called snail, but I worry too much, always thinking about the next thing, never taking my time, always giving it to others.

I want to be more like snails. I hope to build a beautiful and functional home like them, take it easy, leave my mark on the world.
