1.

خطا و آزمون کردن

To experiment through trial and error


امیدوارم بجای این که احساس اضطراب و نگرانی داشته باشند از این که در چارچوبها قرار نگیرند یا این که هویتشان روزی بیربط میشود، حس کنند که آزاد هستند آزمون و خطا کنند و میتوانند هویت و داستان خود را بدست بگیرند

I hope that instead of feeling anxious and worried that they don’t fit in that one box or that their identity will become irrelevant someday, that they can feel free to experiment and to take control of their personal narrative and identity.
