In the end,
the owner said to me,
“You say yes,
but you don’t
actually understand.”
And he was absolutely right.
That was when
it really hit me —
this was where
my English journey
was starting.
I cried so much
when I realized it.
Deep down,
I had known
this would happen.
I knew
it wouldn’t be easy.
After that,
I started buying
newspapers
and would spend
an entire month
reading just one article,
little by little.
And when I finally
understood it,
even just that small moment
gave me a tiny bit
of confidence.
