We all come from somewhere: our current location, dream job and desired destination in the world of emigrants and immigrants cannot wipe out our roots. And these roots, entangling our toes, feet, and ankles, remind us of long-forgotten history, ancestry, and family. But in the melting pot of new traditions, Starbucks' culture, borrowed ideas, foreign fashion and languages isn't it good to go back to the square one and appreciate our own uniqueness, diversity and depth? Maybe family meetings are great lesson of being humble and in peace with oneself? All cultures, however, have their unwritten rules which need to be accepted. One of Chinese traditions is lying to someone who is about to die about their actual health. Knowing that someone dear to you is sick, can you really blend in and maintain a lie? The Farewell.

  Seventeen is not really a dream come true age to get pregnant. That's right, you can glorify it in teen reality TV dramas about how teenage girls try to juggle growing up and motherhood, but you can have a better idea about your future and not really want a child in it (either at all or for now). But your country/state/politics might not help you to deal with your situation especially when you're left without the support of your family, friends, and a boyfriend. You might have to find money, travel miles, and take with you someone who you can trust the most. A Thelma-and-Louise-like journey with a contemporary problem. How to deal with the world when you're a young woman in the country full of religious fanatics and irrational paradoxes? How valuable does a real friendship turn out to be, and why so many of us, young women, will find it a heart-warming story about a heartbreaking life choice. Unpregnant.
