Patterns

I say "pa merak" to people a lot,

meaning don’t worry in Albanian, with Turkish roots.

As if I don’t want them to worry about anything.

As if I would be responsible.

As if any trouble would somehow be my fault.

Please, don’t worry. I am not asking anything from you, just be okay.

I am not asking for anything,

just,

don’t be mad at me,

mum and dad.
