Tems said, “I don’t like my smartphone anyway. I prefer to live in the world and have experiences. If I have even the smallest excuse to leave my phone in the drawer, I’ll take it every time. I would say that it is both my management and my family that keeps me grounded. Especially my family, my mother, and my brother.

“In the end, you have to manage to stay present, be aware of yourself, and take care of yourself,” she added, highlighting the significance of being in the moment. ‘‘The only way to develop is to continuously discover new perspectives and reevaluate your life. There is nothing in my life that I would change.’’
