sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Is it possible to for German NOT to sound harsh and angry? I swear it isn't. I try to imagine tender nothing love poems, or a mother cooing to her baby in German, and it still sounds harsh. I just searched videos of nice voices speaking in German and even when it was a chirpy sounding woman demonstrating different German dialects, they still sounded fairly angry/bossy.
I can't tell if this is just my brain having seen too many WWII documentaries or if it's really just how the language inherently sounds.
