What was the transition like playing your sport to now being an artist? Was it hard? Did you find it easy? Fill free to name some of the highs and lows.

The transition was smooth because I new my body couldn't take the demanding physicality of the sport. Being an artist was an easy transition as if playing my favorite sport, specially dancing since I felt I needed to continue moving my body. Writing was also easy because it allows me to free my mind.

I would not say it has changed my life. It has given me, however, the chance to establish a new community among other artists.
