Dear Jonas,
I've just read your story. It's so horrible to see you went through such a hell, so many troubles and sickness, I think the psychological suffering, like a depression and anxiety, is the most painful of them all. And then people did not believe you, that's perhaps the strangest part! I'm so sorry, Jonas!
But you overcame this, you made some really good decisions and you found acceptance of your parents and it seems from your words that you are happy now.
Also, I think the research and the decision you did about the travel to Australia are the most impressive thing. You resigned from an interesting adventure and travel because you didn't want to participate in a cruel business like the horse racing. I applause this and I look at your mature and responsible decision with great admiration!
You are an incredible person, please, always remember that!!!
I don't know if that matters for you, but I thought I may mention this. You were the one who inspired me to become vegetarian few years ago, it was after talking somewhere here on this forum. Thank you for the inspiration. After reading your memories now, I can only see that I admire what you do even more.
Thank you for sharing the memories and for sharing the lovely photos! Congratulations for the nice bunch of newcomers! I'm looking forward to seeing what will you make from them (you have plans for remakes, right?).
By the way, that snow, it's beautiful!!!
