Features: Daily life doesn't exist for me—it's too beautiful. If I am lucky to live, my day will be like this: At 5:35 AM in Brussels, the tram passes by, and I wake up. This means I have slept too late. My sister Juliet has already been up for two hours, cooking an unimaginable delicious breakfast in the kitchen. I also want to have that kind of self-absorbed spirit. I pour half a liter of strong tea for myself and drink it on an empty stomach. Then, I dive back into my submarine and bury myself in writing the draft I have been working on for several hours.
