Why do we have to hide?
Why can´t we just be ourselves?
Why should society and its stupid rules limit our lives?I didn´t want to allow it. I won´t allow it! I will achieve my goal no matter what, even if it means hiding my true identity. I´m not happy about it, but I see it just as a means to achieve my goal. I´m not hurting anyone. I´m just pretending to be someone who I´m not.
I will prove that we are just as capable as THEY are... that there is no reason to exclude us. Why should enlightment be a privilege?I´m already on my way. Sofar nobody has noticed it... I have to be careful. It could be a disaster if I got discovered!
I´ve already made it across the Atlantic, and have finally landed in Paris. All I need to do now is to take a train down south.
Finally! It will be the last part of the beginning of my journey. I´m nervous. There are so many people waiting here. Somehow I don´t fit in, but I need to pretend.Pretend that I´m just one of them in the crowd. I have to hide all my insecurities. It´s hard to look at people straight in the eyes when you´re hidding something. Some people don´t notice, but some might. Like the blue paire of eyes, those from the blond women standing in front of me. I need to look away. I feel that she can tell something, does she know it? I´d better look away. Long stares can reveal more than 1000 words. I need to stay focused and find my track. Oh, there´s my train, I can´t miss it.
