Chronicle of a Trip: Part 2, Kaputt
4 October 2019:
This was not what I had in mind for Berlin. But my friends came to visit me in August. And made me see some things. Things I didn’t want to see. I decide to take some clothes and papers with me. It’s hard to decide what to take.
What’s the priority? For how long?

Ésta no era la idea que tenía para Berlín. Pero mis amigos me visitaron en Agosto. Y me hicieron ver algunas cosas. Cosas que no quería ver. Decido llevarme algo de ropa y papeles. Es difícil elegir qué llevar.
¿Cuál es la prioridad? ¿Por cuánto tiempo?

“Chronicle of a trip” is made up of three parts, which coincide with three different stages of my life. This second entry, “Kaputt,” includes the move to the women’s shelter (Frauenhaus) and the anonymous stay there. An overwhelming experience with a small baby. The uncertainty of not knowing how to continue or how to start. The challenge of living with other women and children who are also victims of violence, solidarity without limits, also the survival of “the fittest.”
Read the first entry “PS / Post Script”
All three parts will be published at MUTHA.
