I was born in 1988, just one year before the wall came down. For me there never was a divided country because I have no memories of it. There were moments where a division in the mind was still noticeable. We had classmates that moved to the west and me, as well as other classmates, called them …

This week they started laying the foundation of our house and I’m terrified. Everything we’ve planned over the last weeks and months suddenly becomes a reality. There are still a lot of problems we’re facing and I am quite exhausted but we will have a house soon and that’s what counts, right? On a …
