Beyond Borders
As for why I write in English when Persian is my native language, it’s a curious choice, isn’t it? It’s almost as if someone else is navigating through the corridors of my mind, breaking the fourth wall of my consciousness.

Whatever the reason, there’s a certain allure to it, a sense of exploration and discovery. Writing in English allows me to bridge cultures, to reach beyond borders and boundaries, and to connect with individuals who may otherwise never cross paths with my words.
So, as I continue to navigate this labyrinth of language, I do so with a sense of wonder and curiosity, embracing the journey wherever it may lead. After all, isn’t that what writing is all about? Exploring the unknown, one word at a time.
