HeikeRippy, 18

My name is Amy, and my story is a quiet journey of finding myself in a big and noisy world. I always felt that there was something special about me, but I didn’t immediately understand what it was. Sometimes I get lost in my thoughts, building imaginary worlds and talking to myself as if it is the most honest dialogue possible.

I love watching people, guessing their feelings by their looks and gestures. There is something almost magical about it - seeing what is hidden behind the words. I am not always brave, but there is a tenacity inside me that does not allow me to give up, even when everything seems difficult.

I am learning to accept myself - not ideal, sometimes confused, but real. It is important for me to feel that I am following my own path, even if it is not similar to others. And, probably, this is what makes me me: the ability to dream, doubt and still move forward.
