Each letter was a quiet reminder that I didn't quite belong.
I'm Doni. I came to Germany chasing opportunity, like millions before me. I thought learning the language would be enough. It wasn't. The letters kept coming: dense, bureaucratic, designed for people who'd grown up decoding them. What locals called "easy" was only easy because they couldn't see the complexity anymore. For me, it only got harder. Each letter was a quiet reminder that I didn't quite belong.
