FOTIS
NIKOLAOU

A room to grow

...on the loss of innocence

 

Tonight, I will tell my story in past tense, as if it were a myth or an old story because tonight I need another age, to be in that age again, the one where I became what I am now ...

​

So, here is my life, this is it, if you like it and if you deserve it then I will not say no, not tonight.  But then again, if there is speech, if there are words why look for a story, why do we need a story, we just need a life, yes that was my mistake all along, one of my mistakes anyway, to want a story about myself, as if life itself was not enough.
