Borderline of Freedom (Borderline of Freedom)

Jovana Semiz

Borderline of Freedom

Freedom and all the consequences that youth carries with it. Mistakes transformed into boundaries that remain for us to cross. Having matured far too early, we long for freedom and for days that would allow us to do absolutely anything we desire, without jeopardizing our future, or perhaps even contributing to our success within it. A moment of ecstasy and forgetting all struggles and anxieties.
