At the age of 4,
I wanted to be like my father.
Then I wanted to become anyone but my father.

At the age of 13,
I wanted to be a fashion designer.
Later, I realised you can't wear a rainbow t-shirt with your yellow pants and consider it fashion.

At the age of 14,
All I wanted to do was to grow up,
Become a business woman, wear a black coat and become someone successful.
Then, I saw successful people shouting, running and getting depressed in their fancy black coats

At the age of 12,
I wanted to be nothing like my mother,
Then I wanted to become everything like her.

Today,
I want to be everything I can be.
Alive, breathless, young, kind and most importantly, I want to be myself.
