nice. to meet you.

hello. 

so you are 25. 

what have you done? where have you walked?

what have you seen?

whom have you met?

what did you feel?

what did you like?

what did you hate?

what did you get?

what did you lose?

....in those 25 years of life?

let me try to answer your questions, mirror me. 

i have done a lot of what i am not proud of. just like not trying to listen to myself,

ask myself who i am,

what i like, what i feel, what i hate, where i'm going, where i already went or where my path is going

but i did many things to get here, i guess.

to get to this conversation with you.

to know, that there's only me in my life, 

who can turn things around,

who can decide the path

decide over my mood

happiness and sadness

decide over whether i will have a smile on my face today or cry a tear.

it's me. 

and i wanna now me. 

and i am here. 

now. 

not in my daydreams, somewhere in new york, LA or london, 

having fun 

being successful with what i do.

not in my daydreams where i am telling stories of how i got there.

"all these hard days of searching for the right thing.

walking so many miles to get there. and finally.

there i am! happy, content and comfortable. loved. respected."

no.

i'm done with daydreaming about these things.

i am here.

without any excuses - i have to get to know me.

move my real feet to walk. 

i am glad you bumped into me, mirror. 

hello. 

it took us 25 years to meet face to face. 

straight.

nice.

to meet you.
