Foreword
This is a diary with entries that haven’t been changed.
Switching between American and British in written English seemingly randomly, just as probably most people would, having any other mother tongue than English. Leaving the minor mistakes and every cross reference in rhetorical devices as they are to maintain authenticity. The language barrier that had to be crossed to reach out for each other is an experience that is read best unaltered. Only the names and nicknames of others have been changed.
Before I started to write this diary and after I realized I must stop writing it, it was clear to me, that mostly every english text I wrote in that timeframe was addressed to her. All the other texts I wrote in german – in my mother tongue – were and still are thoughts that I have for myself, without any discussions or recipient to somewhat answer them.
This is a diary. It was published to keep the silent promises once made. But in the end, it was a diary about what happened in my mind. There are no entries and no story gap closers made by anyone else but me, so every entry is to be perceived subjectively. Each of them is meant to be read once in a while. The intensity of the feelings captured could be tough to bear without taking breaks for your own thoughts.
In a game, in which teammates flame each other the most, there
was someone,
someone who decided to stay positive.
We won the game.
We won the seemingly lost game.
But we won.
In the score screen I told that someone
'I will love you forever
Thank you for being who you are.'
She answered 'patience wins' and added me.
This is the beginning of a friendship.
This book is the diary of those
days growing emotionally.
Almost entirely.
