Life begins mid-scene, no script in my hands, just a trembling voice and the weight of the spotlight. I stumble through lines I never agreed to speak, yet each word lands as if carved in stone. How cruel, this urgency— to shape myself in seconds, to wear a costume of flesh without knowing the story. Still, the stage keeps turning, stars lit above my head, and the only truth I carry: every flaw is part of the play.

First Night, No Rehearsal
Life begins mid-scene, no script in my hands, just a trembling voice and the weight of the spotlight. I stumble through lines I never agreed to speak, yet each word lands as if carved in stone. How cruel, this urgency— to shape myself in seconds, to wear a costume of flesh without knowing the story. Still, the stage keeps turning, stars lit above my head, and the only truth I carry: every flaw is part of the play.
