“In a world that often seemed to impose its expectations upon me, I began to understand the importance of forging my own path. The suffocating norms felt like a tight corset [‘kɔːsɪt],  restricting my breath and spirit. But as I dared to break free, I found that the true essence of living lies in embracing one’s individuality. Each choice I made became a declaration of my existence, a testament to my courage in a society that frequently silences the voice of the dreamer.”

“在一个似乎总是强加期望的世界中,我开始理解走自己道路的重要性。令人窒息的规范就像束身衣,限制了我的呼吸和精神。但当我敢于打破束缚时,我发现生活的真正本质在于拥抱个体性。每一个选择都变成我存在的宣言,成为我在一个经常压制梦想者声音的社会中勇气的证明。”

Literature became a mirror, reflecting my innermost fears and desires, allowing me to confront them with clarity.

Through the lens of others’ experiences, I began to unravel my own, learning that connection is woven through the shared narratives of existence.”
