Who am I?41Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8nBzP24Qt
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.41Please respect copyright.PENANAPlAFee3Y3V
For 23 years of my life, I used to be a follower—a good child to my sensitive family.
I was a husband to my mother and a son to my father—except for the duty of being a daughter to my mother.
I had forgotten my dreams. It felt like sacrificing myself just for my family.41Please respect copyright.PENANATnswwG0UaE
But I couldn’t continue down that path, so I decided to choose myself for the first time and try to do something for me.
I came to Germany from a faraway country to study and find myself.41Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6B5zrAvwA
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,41Please respect copyright.PENANA8qFv8oMtfT
but I feel like I’m stuck.41Please respect copyright.PENANAOCHYVZHyq6
I don’t know what I want.41Please respect copyright.PENANAEjXssSFYmd
I’m lost and filled with anger toward everything.
I used to sacrifice my dreams, but now—though I no longer want that—I’m still drowning in it...41Please respect copyright.PENANA57eMgcroIq
I want to have a dream.41Please respect copyright.PENANAsyOQUVAlLp
Have a goal.41Please respect copyright.PENANAMCo1AtBl0q
Try to achieve it...41Please respect copyright.PENANAxaVNP4yUEW
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.41Please respect copyright.PENANArrzrQwjAsM
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,41Please respect copyright.PENANAPrWuEGv84W
I’m alone, trying to dream,41Please respect copyright.PENANAst9gcrsMQN
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,41Please respect copyright.PENANAGI7ePi20UD
after a long journey,41Please respect copyright.PENANA4dmeAZrPsP
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...41Please respect copyright.PENANALP3x4eet7S
