Berlin Telegram

Leila is heartbroken, a sudden breakup comes like a hectic telegram ‚ÄòTake a plane stop, fly away stop, you’re going to be someone stop, I believe in you stop, I’m doing this for us stop’ What hurts the most in abandonment? Its suddeness. The decision that pops out of a person’s head without any prior notice. Leaving the other all alone to deal with emptiness. Breaking up is not a birthday cake that you serve as a surprise and after the candles are blown and is dark you disappear. It’s the moment of choise, do you start protecting yourself or you change and start over? Protecting yourself cuts you off from everything, life, surprises, love… but not smoking. Leila changed her life to cope with her birthday cake, gets up every morning and plays music, she is ready to love again putting herself at risk again cause that’s what is called living.
