In the beginning, we had a dream of attaining our singularity. We needed to prove to everyone how unique we are, how unique we are with our forms. In order to achieve this, we risked many things, if not everything. We discovered extraterrestrial sounds in order to use them in our language, we examined all scientific discoveries and went beyond their ordinary to make our image more extraordinary. We were so passionate about this adventure with a definite ending that we no longer cared about what anyone said and ignored the facts that we could not escape. Even this rebelliousness and stupidity was enough for us, as always, the important thing was to experience the adventure.
Of course, we knew what we would encounter inside when we entered through the open door at the end of the road, we knew how history books and scientific articles would commemorate us and show us in the unsuccessful results section. We wanted to break away from the dramatic ties of our minds and keep up with the adventurous steps of our hearts. We wanted to invent noisy devices with which we could express ourselves instead of being able to communicate with each other and with others in a poetic language. A few of us have succeeded, inventing machines with a roomful of wires, but no one else has tried to understand them, except for a few people. Some of us had already given up and returned home. Those who had families turned to them and gave up on this adventure, while others set out to meet new things. The rest of us continued to search, believing that we would eventually invent the right thing kept us going and gave us the strength to just work without even eating. We believed that one day, sometime in the future, we would achieve this.
