Dear Sesha

You brought it to the point. I am able to rationalize that I am more than my performance, but emotionally I don’t believe it.

Outside of my performance I am a person with a multifaceted personality. I can be calm and I like to be in the comfort of the familiar. But if I want I can also be funny, daring and adventurous. When seeking something new and exciting to break the cycle of boredom or routine, I reach out for new people and new experiences to discover other sides of my personality and interests. Even if I am a person of habit I like change in life. I like to be open minded for other perspectives and world views that can also help to reshape my opinions and reevaluate my values in a way that I think will do good for me and others. I am someone who deeply cares for people who I trust and feel connected with. Because I experienced how it feels to be disrespected, an outsider and be let down by others, therefore I care a lot not to do the same things to others. The past made me more sensitive towards uncertainty, closeness, trust and social conflicts, but on the same time I got access to a spectrum of emotions that make me also a more empathic and understandable person. The difficulties as a student, unwanted movings to other cities, leaving friends unwanted behind and the forced changes to become more resilient in every aspect of life, made me a more adaptable, humble and self-determined person.
