"Teetering on a tightrope" is a perfect metaphor for the delicate balance we often find ourselves in. It's a reminder that life is full of precarious moments, where one wrong move can have significant consequences. Yet, it's in these moments that we discover our inner strength and resilience. We learn to adapt, to adjust our footing, and to trust in our ability to navigate the unknown. And when we finally reach the other side, we emerge stronger, wiser, and more confident in our ability to face whatever challenges come our way. Keep balancing, and remember to breathe!

The struggles, the traumas and the fear. Even with everything heading for the worst, there was a direction towards healing. Abuse, mistreatment, sexual uncertainty, the mother's pain, the absence of the father and finally overcoming it. Oscillating on a tightrope is exactly what appears in each line of this work, where any slip means a fall with probably no return, as written in a note “If I fail in the fourth grade, I will kill myself”. Some actions, feelings and our mind can take us down different paths and being strong is the only path to follow. It's sad, but it's not the end.
