Midnight Talks: Yazan Al-Qawasmi - One True Thing

Yazan and I were inspired after visiting the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. A trip he invited me to after we both graduated from university.  We recorded in the Amsterdam Vondelpark on a beautiful Saturday afternoon on the 21st of September 2019. Yazan was the person who convinced me to drop university in Jordan and come to Germany directly. One of the biggest decisions in my life that turned everything around, in a good and bad way at the same time.  The episode starts with Yazan sharing his perspective on Van Gogh, someone who spent the last ten years of his life trying to find their One True Thing. He believes we all have this thing. And that if we at least pursue it, life can reach a level of magic difficult to imagine.  "You're either an actor your entire life, or you're constantly pursuing your truth."
