umlauts

1 min read1 day ago

This June I was graduating cum laude.
Who knows 5 months after, I would be learning umlauts.
Yup this November.
ä, ö, and ü become part of my world.

I don’t understand how come this experimental season lead me to learn German. I want to cry when I practise Hören. But I know it will be worth it.

So it’s funny how the 26 yo me could still dream.
The same old dream that never changes.
No matter how hard I resist, or try to forget it, it is still there.
In the very bottom of my heart.

So let’s go for it. You are still young.
Youth is wasted on the young, it’s hunting season, right?
If you die, you die while chasing your dream — something like that from the Alchemist.

Who made you hesitant to start? Who made you believe that you are already late to start?
