Growth equals pain. I learned that both in the literal sense as a child and metaphorically as a teenager. Something, however, sets aching knees apart from the dread in my chest that pulls me back into my comfort zone every time life throws a lemon in my face.

The topics for this course (Adulting 101) include: obligatory family issues, classic self-loathing, people watching and love shenanigans.Please beware that these are the observations of a short-sighted teenager made through the bedroom window of their childhood home. Use the notes at your own risk.
Autorenporträt
I associate the Young Storyteller Awards with, well, telling the stories of young people. Naturally, the poems are inspired by what I witness around me and my own life but I hope they can offer comfort or company to somebody out there. My grandparents raised me in China for the first few years of my life before I moved to live with my mother in Germany. She raised me by herself before she eventually remarried. Of course, marriage is not always rosy so that's nothing new. My grandparents' life/love story and the misery and suffering the "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement" bought them also shaped me and my worldview drastically. I'm lucky that my own life has been, for the most part, rather peaceful. I get to be angry about the smaller annoyances in life. I get to learn and grow up slowly and watch people around me. Most importantly, I get to write about it all.
