Who am I?185Please respect copyright.PENANAYTrC1F6aAE
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.185Please respect copyright.PENANAGDvQKDk1aA
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.185Please respect copyright.PENANA2mwoJAYm00
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.185Please respect copyright.PENANAcIQ3j9ZYxA
I came to Germany from a faraway country to study and find myself.185Please respect copyright.PENANAk2y7RU9ECj
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,185Please respect copyright.PENANAbSAvlTb3SA
but I feel like I’m stuck.185Please respect copyright.PENANArWRWHqG0Ok
I don’t know what I want.185Please respect copyright.PENANA8QSKVOxzlr
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...185Please respect copyright.PENANAzbSh8yedfU
I want to have a dream.185Please respect copyright.PENANAg3wj6yvISL
Have a goal.185Please respect copyright.PENANAm4zneggOIv
Try to achieve it...185Please respect copyright.PENANAYxAB4ohRwl
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.185Please respect copyright.PENANAHBPeVjHdzz
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,185Please respect copyright.PENANAsUTuhu8gtY
I’m alone, trying to dream,185Please respect copyright.PENANAvStZjX4s05
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,185Please respect copyright.PENANADOE3NFf84o
after a long journey,185Please respect copyright.PENANAwzZDVpZ5qs
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...185Please respect copyright.PENANApXR3WuAP3h
