We walk life's roads all alone

"I had to go through a lot on my own, so today I no longer feel alone, I have myself." Artime Useini describes her journey from little girl to strong, independent woman. Her childhood is characterized by the clash of several cultures: sometimes she lives in her home country of Macedonia, then again in a village in Switzerland because her father works there. Here, the security of the extended Albanian family; there, the demands of her new home country; here, living tradition; there, modern thinking. She is constantly having to adapt. Manipulative influences repeatedly block her independent learning. However, her escape from a marriage that happened more by chance than by choice, as well as the responsibility for her beloved son, make her even stronger.
