The World Through My Eyes

You might be wondering why this child is writing the story of her life down. There’s nothing interesting in a little “farm girl’s” life story or her view on how messed up the world is. You may be right. I’m not a big, wise person. However, I felt like I had a lot of things I needed to get off my chest, and also, when I was younger, I kind of wished I knew of someone similar to my age now, who was ready to speak about certain things with a freshly turned adult’s mind.

I do believe that sometimes young adults need young adults to share their perspectives because we speak a similar, if not the same language.

Alexandra Szabo is a young woman in her early twenties, who grew up in a small village in Hungary, and made a move to the UK when she was eighteen. She has always written as a hobby, always “too busy” to finish what she started, but quarantine gave her a bit of extra time to really get back to what she loves to do most.
