Who am I?71Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Z5UTDtkx
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.71Please respect copyright.PENANA2VDO4VvFxj
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.71Please respect copyright.PENANAS6mpn7eQEX
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.71Please respect copyright.PENANAswhxyI3ARy
I came to Germany from a faraway country to study and find myself.71Please respect copyright.PENANAsayfVfWwl7
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,71Please respect copyright.PENANAoPw5cEuSen
but I feel like I’m stuck.71Please respect copyright.PENANAAlgf216gvK
I don’t know what I want.71Please respect copyright.PENANAYX9yTLu2s8
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...71Please respect copyright.PENANA8jhok8VcsF
I want to have a dream.71Please respect copyright.PENANAspcDHHh93T
Have a goal.71Please respect copyright.PENANAlv0onH6dHs
Try to achieve it...71Please respect copyright.PENANAX1RsaqmOEs
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.71Please respect copyright.PENANAt4g795ji1C
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,71Please respect copyright.PENANA08YpS3JVAc
I’m alone, trying to dream,71Please respect copyright.PENANAOPhgBaNZu0
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,71Please respect copyright.PENANAsgpksIsadR
after a long journey,71Please respect copyright.PENANAZRGJqpoNc0
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...71Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Eb0GfmNy
