Passing Strange Analysis
Passing Strange is a Broadway production that explores the life journey of Youth, a
brave young man, who is doing the impossible to achieve his dream. At first he is
presented as a shy guy, who does not have enough courage to declare what he
desires. His mother is the one that worries about his life and his feelings, because
she wants the best for her son. However, Youth decides to go on a journey far away
from his mother, from his old lifestyle, far way from everything. He travels to
foreign lands, meets new and interesting people; he is living the dream. Everything

I was also shy and often insecure because I did not believe in myself. I was looking
for the approvals of others, because I did not believe that what I was, was good
enough. Like Youth I did not want to be judged, I just wanted to be accepted for
who I was. The paradox here came from the fact that my family was always
supporting me and I was the one that did not want to open up, I was the one

would find what I was looking for. Now, couple of years later, I am far way, in a
foreign land, and my wishes have became reality. Now, when I have all that I want,
I realize that everything has its price. I am here, I am achieving my goals, but
something is missing. It feels unrealistic to search for something that you have
already had before. I guess, I needed to travel so far away to start loving myself.
And when I did, I found that that indeed my family was the most important for me.
I had to travel all over the world to realize that I love my country, my family, my
friends so much and it only feels real when I am back home, because only love is
real. I do not regret for anything, because everyone learns his or her lessons. I know
that I am here for a reason and I respect this country I am in right now. I am here
because I experiencing my journey, and now I love myself, I do not feel insecure,
I listen to every advice from my family, and I appreciate it with all my heart. I am
very thankful, and I pray that all my family and beloved people will be safe and
sound. From now one, I just want to continue my journey with a lot of courage and a
lot of love in my heart. Because I learned that the most important thing in life is to
follow your
