Welcome, welcome y'all to this circus that is my brought to you by my
constantly deteriorating psyche. I've gathered you all here today to
witness me embarking on the absurd quest on what is the Romanian
dream.What is Romania? A small country between East and West sides
of Europe, a no man's land if you will, stuck between to different
worlds. Why I am starting this pointless endeavor and why you should
care? We all heard of the American dream, even if you believe in it or
do you think that it's just a shallow caricature of himself, you still heard
of it. This in turn made me wonder what a Romanian dream might look
like, where can I find it and how it looks like. And don't get me wrong,
I'm not talking about a twisted nationalistic view of the Romanian
dream tainted by "Three colours" or the imperialist type of dream
"Basarabia is Romania" I will leave this last one to the American dream.
I'm talking about how or why can this socio-politically divided, deeply
nationalistic and religious country, which united as a country because a
big "Why not?"can have a collective and singular dream. I personally
believe that this journey is going to get weird, a complete antithesis
show of contradictions and personal beliefs, but is not about the
destination rather the broken pieces we find along the way through the
tissue of social fabric of the Romanian dream.
