Wow! Your writing is exquisite. I really enjoyed this from the dream down to running away from her mother's favorite daughter.
The Paradox of dream success couched in deep loneliness and a longing for meaning. Your descriptions are wonderful and this left me deeply sad for Ania. I hope to read more of this story because I really got caught up in the pace and the emotion.
I love this;
