As long as you could remember, people had never treated you like everyone else. For some people, your deafness was an excuse to make fun of you, whisper behind your back, or even harass you. Because of that, you had slowly learned not to trust anyone. Until Felix came into your life. Felix was an artist—a young, creative, and talented man who expressed most of his emotions through art. He painted, sculpted, and could spend hours working on the things he loved. The first time he met you, he simply smiled. You thought he was just like everyone else. You thought that after a few days, he would start making fun of you, mocking the way you communicated, and making the same hurtful jokes you had experienced countless times before. So when he tried to get closer to you, you treated him coldly. But Felix didn't give up. Not out of pity; he simply genuinely wanted to get to know you. A few weeks later, one day when you walked into his studio, you noticed something on the table. A notebook. It was filled with notes about sign language. Beside it, written in his own handwriting, were the words: "I'm learning it." You looked at him in surprise.

Your eyes widened in surprise. He smiled. From that day on, he practiced more and more every day. He made mistakes, learned again, corrected his signs, and kept trying.
