My name is Molly, I’m 18, and honestly, I still don’t really know who I want to become. But maybe that’s the most interesting part — being in the process.

Anime is a whole different story. I can laugh, cry, and worry about the characters as if they were my friends. Sometimes it even feels like I understand them better than the people around me. Maybe because everything feels more honest in those stories. During the day, I often go out to roller skate. The wind in my face, music in my headphones, and the road ahead — it’s a feeling of freedom that’s impossible to describe. In those moments, I forget about everything: doubts, fears, even time itself.

I love the mornings, when my room is still quiet and my sketchbook is lying on the windowsill. Sometimes I just sit and draw whatever comes to mind: anime characters, random emotions, scenes that never actually happened. In those moments, it feels like I’m creating my own little worlds — and in them, everything is exactly the way I want it to be.

When things get quiet, I pick up a book. I love diving into other people’s stories, living other lives. Sometimes I find answers there to questions I haven’t even had time to ask yet. And in the evening — games. It’s my way of escaping, but not from reality — into another space where I can be anyone. There, I’m braver, stronger… but maybe that’s also a part of who I really am. I’m not perfect. Sometimes I doubt myself, sometimes I’m afraid to take a step forward. But I have my little joys — drawing, roller skating, books, anime, and games. And maybe that’s exactly what my life is made of. And you know… I think that’s already a pretty good start.
