Who am I?201Please respect copyright.PENANAr5yvhODmnj
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.201Please respect copyright.PENANAtG4zWpEeuj
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA3GlW8Qq3Da
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA2cSePenRmV
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,201Please respect copyright.PENANAXQFx7SxH6G
but I feel like I’m stuck.201Please respect copyright.PENANA6Urw9yoNcf
I don’t know what I want.201Please respect copyright.PENANAdIrceJeARb
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...201Please respect copyright.PENANAi4DmQ0Q4md
I want to have a dream.201Please respect copyright.PENANAsx5lyC8Ctl
Have a goal.201Please respect copyright.PENANAZcwWIKxWYk
Try to achieve it...201Please respect copyright.PENANAJAtXdWoxFc
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.201Please respect copyright.PENANAkndcPNIJz1
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,201Please respect copyright.PENANAkpiCbMJySG
I’m alone, trying to dream,201Please respect copyright.PENANATOFidPgrPc
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,201Please respect copyright.PENANApLmQyzJh6e
after a long journey,201Please respect copyright.PENANA2GsodknRTe
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...201Please respect copyright.PENANAkFYasj0o1N
