Sascha Goetzel

My father was a professional musician.

I grew up in concert halls before I grew up anywhere else.

And every single time —
I only had eyes for one person.

‘The one in the middle.’

I didn’t know their title.
I didn’t understand what they were doing.
I just felt it-
the centerpoint of all energies in the hall.

A force that held every string attached.

We never stop becoming our dreams,
Only -
when we choose the wrong ones.

I like to remain 3 years inside.
