Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten Mut zu zeigen! Nicht nur, wenn man grossen Gefahren ausgesetzt ist! Manchmal braucht man mehr Mut, um einen Traum zu verwirklichen, an sich selbst zu glauben oder einem Menschen das zu sagen, was man wirklich für ihn empfindet. Doch den meisten Mut braucht man sich eigene Fehler einzugestehen, um wieder neu anzufangen!

MORE THAN JUST A FEW LINES
Über das Rätsel des Lichts…
weiß ich soviel, daß man es
biegen, beugen, brechen, zerteilen kann;
auch etwas darüber,
daß die Luft voller Bilder ist,
daß der Raum voller Bilder ist und,
daß die Welt eine energetische Plastik ist,
daß der Raum zwar nicht geschlossen,
aber voll ist, und zwar voll mit Bildern.
(Adolf Luther)

Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances.
You just have to live life to the fullest.
Laugh as much as you can; spend all your money; tell someone how you feel; tell someone off; speak out; dance in the pouring rain; hold someones hand; comfort a friend; pig out; fall asleep watching the sun come up; smile until your face hurts; don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all live in the moment because when you look back one day, knowing you have no regrets, thats what’s going to make you smile.
Because life is a gift to be opened, not a problem to be solved.
So go out, party hard, trip and fall, do whatever you please.
Because it’s your life and every second is one you’ll never get back.

Lies and excuses.
She makes very good excuses, close to perfection. She is also good at telling lies. She doesn’t know she always sounds more persuasive when telling lies than telling the truth. That is not a good thing. Maybe she doesn’t know much about truth. That’s how she decides to buy a house in the suburbs to store her collection. And how her lists go on. Vinyls. Recording of her pug’s snore. Different colors of straws. Boyfriends with different horoscopes. Sometimes she feels lost when standing in the house of collection.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
