Das Leben ist ein stetiger Übergang von Bedürfnis zu Befriedigung und von dieser zum neuen Bedürfnis. Geht dieser Übergang rasch vonstatten, so nennen wir es Glück, geht es langsam, Leiden.
~Arthur Schopenhauer~

post scriptum
Two more things that I figured out:
I could never date someone who seriously thinks black bedsheets are cool.
And it must be love if your boyfriend gets up in the morning with you to brush the snow of your bike saddle.

The World and Me
I am terrified of the idea that one day you'll stop learning and developing. I hate to think that one day I no longer take in new information or things stop being exciting. Just imagine: You think, you've seen it all.
That is why I love Peter Pan and the notion of never ending childhood as I believe that children live their curiosity and just feel the amazements of life so much stronger.
The last three month taught me a lot and I think I managed to embrace most of the new experiences, not all of them of course.
In the last three month I found out that YES it is possible to make new friends, even if you are no longer a student. Leaving university and the student circle scared me for the longest time. Comforting to know that kindred spirits can be found anywhere. Most of all when it is least expected.
I also realized that it was the right decision to move into a flat with five other people, despite all the difficulties. I really enjoy the interaction here and the chaos is tolerable - most days.
In the last month two friends got married and two friends FINALLY got together. One friend finally feel in love --- I was thrilled about those news!!! Love to be surprised by these matters of the heart.
In the last five weeks I saw my life turned upside down - triggered pretty much by myself. I did the roller coaster a couple of time till I got sick of it. I am done now.
Three weeks ago I wanted to be single or ... I really did not know. I was in a state of profound confusion. Spring, maybe.
15 days ago: Yes, the world is CARO centred, I know for sure now. And Leo, Carlo and everyone else who thinks he or she might be the center. You guys are wrong.
Last week: I realized that I am girlfriend material after all.
Tonight I learned that sleep is essentiel and I should go to bed at a decent hour. But that never happens ... I am working on that.

Straße: Besprüht
Ein Graffiti-Sprayer hat die Koblenzer Polizei in Erstauen versetzt: Er sprühte für seine Geliebte das Ovid-Zitat: "Spes est quae pascat amorem" ("Es ist die Hoffnung, die die Liebe nährt") auf eine Straße. Bei aller Bewunderung für die Bildung des jungen Mannes muss darauf hingewiesen werden, dass das Besprayen von Straßen eine strafbare Sachbeschädigung darstellt. Allerdings ist kaum zu befürchten, dass er viele Nachahmer finden wird: Die Politik hat mit der Einführung des "Turbo-Abiturs" ja bereits geeignete Gegenmaßnahmen ergriffen.

Songs of my Life
Listening to the ROYAL TENENBAUM soundtrack these days. Seems to fit my mood so perfectly - could be written for my so-called life.
I rediscovered music recently. For some time I did not listen to any music at all. Now I come home and crave musical tunes, some days it is a particular song, others I pick randomly or let iTunes decicde for me. I am listening to songs I have not heard in years and it is great to finally have them back in my life. I almost forgot how much I loved music. Strange, indeed.

Another sleepless night
Can't sleep. Hate it. Hating the whole world while laying awake. Waiting for the release, the sweet careless, dreamless and comforting sleep that I can not seem to be able to find lately. Days are fine, they are fun, full of work, inspiring people and even some new found friends.
My days are so full that it is more than easy to cast away dark thoughts. Only the worries sneak back at night, when I am really longing for eight hours of NOT thinking, laughing, loving, longing, doubting, hating ...living.
There is a reason why one should sleep for a third of the day. One really needs that time out. Especially me, right now with days full to the brim of new exciting and partly even frightening experiences.
There is a new understanding growing in me about drug abuse and sleeping pills.
I NEED TO SLEEP!
