Insecurities about the future

Sometimes you're at that stage of life, where you exactly knoww what you want. What you want to become in the future. Who you want to be with. Where you want to live. Just everything.

But everything is better planned than created in the end. You'll come to that moment where you suddenly have to choose which of these things you really want to be happy in the future.

Life isn't always that easy. You have to make hard and tough decisions to get to where you belong. Even though you already knew you are there.

Life always wants to challenge you. Life wants to make you suffer to make you even work harder when it's worth it, just to make you more confident about the things that you're doing.

Nothing worth having comes easy. You have the choice, the choice to make the most out of your life. Creating the life that you always dreamt about. Make sure you're choosing wisely and create constants in your life, that are working like an anchor for you.

And when you don't know how to choose, talk to friends, have a walk, just be there for yourself and give yourself some time to think about everything that you're clear about the decision you're about to make.

You have enough time to choose what's right for you and what's wrong. It's your life and no one, except you, has the right to judge about your decisions.

My soul is broken, Streets are frozen, I can't stop these feelings melting through

Simple Plan, Summer Paradise

Dear you: I'm so happy you got up today. Even if it took you 30 minutes to convince yourself to, even if you didn't want to at all. I'm so proud of you. You're facing life today and even if it's another day of the same routine - going to school, going to work or simply staying at home - you're breathing and your heart is beating for another day. You can get through today, you've come this far so don't give up now. Maybe it won't get easier in a week or months or years, but one day you'll know why you stayed.

When your world becomes colorful again...

sometimes you really don’t know what’s right or wrong. And that sometimes leads you to the bad decisions. But anyway, a bad decision is not ruining your life or your relationship to someone. Just grab the problem, be confident and stick to your faults, stick to whatever you did wrong and apologize. Cause if you apologize for something you did wrong, you won’t just feel better after it, you’ll also make the other person happy as well. After messing up in a situation, the world feels grey and shady, but you can light it up with color and sunshine again. It’s up to you and your effort to make things right again. We’re all human beings and that means, that you can’t be perfect. We’re not meant to be perfect at all. We just need to learn how to deal with things that we broke instead of just getting rid of it. We keep on consuming stuff without appreciating it enough. So just have in your mind, that the world can be a colorful and lovely place, you just need to decide what’s best for you. Be selfish sometimes, but in a lovely way.

“Because I don’t want to”

It’s a simple phrase that somehow means not that much to people. I really don’t get it cause it’s very easy to understand. 

- Because I don’t want to -

There is no further explanation needed, there is no need in finding a compromise. If you don’t want to do something you have the right to say it. Never feel under preassure to do something that other people want from you if you don’t want to do that yourself. Other people have to accept your decision and aren’t allowed to change anything about that or try to push you into their beloved direction. 

Never settle for less and do whatever makes YOU happy!

Corona Pandemic

These days, these weeks, these times are tough, tough for everyone of us. That’s probably one of the most horrifying pandemic we ever had to experience. I’m a health care worker and I know how hard this pandemic can be for my patients. I see it in their eyes and voices. i can see it in my family, in my friendship group, in the behavior from my own boyfriend. 

The main thing about the Virus is the fear of what’s going to happen if you catch it. The Virus itself isn’t the problem. It’s the fear. 

As a health care worker, you expect to get infected everyday. You just get used to it after a while. But when you’re not dealing with that everyday at work. Trying to enjoy life is the most difficult thing to do for you.

What you shouldn’t forget is, that this life is still yours. You can still make the most out of it. Don’t worry about what’s going to happen to you, if you catch it. I mean yeah, the fear is huge. But anyway: Doctors are working on better treatments everyday. Even though I’m not quite into the vaccine - there is a vaccine already. This Virus is a huge topic in our lives - but everyday, people are working on how to deal with it in the best possible way. Some things are just out of your control. The only thing you have to desperately focus on is to protect yourself and others. Everything else is out of your control.

You can always try to make your family and friends understand what’s best to do.  Like wearing a mask, social distancing to others, sneezing and coughing in your ellbow. 

Today there are so many ways to still keep contact to your friends. What I do is Videochatting with them from time to time, just whenever we feel like it. Everything we can do when we’re together is something that we can also do through Group Videochats. 

Currently the sacrifice everyone has to be able to do is keep some distance to your loved ones. It can be quite tough. But never forget that this isn’t a sign that you would love them less. It’s the opposite! You love them so much, care about them so much, that you’re able to go through that. 

The Pandemic gives lots of people hard times. But what you always have to think about is, that now that there is this pandemic, people have to Me’s: The Real-Me (the person they actually are) and the Pandemic-Me (the person they are because of Covid, just someone that’s afraid and scared of the unknown) 

Try to understand your loved ones, be there for them and show them some love and affection. Give them everything they need, but take care of your health when you do that - for both of you!

You’re capable of so much more than you expect. Just believe in yourself. Believe in the fact, that there’s going to be a time when we can finally laugh about this topic again. We already went through lots of dark times in history. Let’s not forget this. We already experienced a lot of diseases - e. g. Ebola, Tuberculosis, Aids - we always found a way to keep it in a small circle and to cure or treat it. 

So why shouldn’t we be able to do the same now?

We just need a bit more patience and trust in the people doing researches about this Virus. They need your time and trust. It’s a “new” Virus that needs to be discovered. We don’t know enough so far to completely cure it. But we already found better ways to treat patients that suffer from COVID. 

Let’s work on this thing together, believe in each other and make the most out of what’s given to us.

Stay healthy!

Sometimes destiny brings people in your life to teach you a lesson. You should learn, that not everyone is meant to be in your life.

And then it's night again and you're philosophizing about life and what love means because you think nothing works out right now

What's the definition of love nowadays?

Today love means getting into a relationship, texting everyday, posting pictures and spread in the internet how happy you are. But some years ago, love meant so much more than that. Love was defined by two people going through hard times and getting stronger together. And of course enjoying the good times and grow together. Your partner was actually your other half and you trusted each other without any worries. So how did love changed that much over the past years? Why did love lost that much of it's actual meaning? Love was about growing old together, going out and having a family. Earlier times showed us, that relationships worked out very well without social media. So why are we in love with each other in the internet but not in real life. We care so mich about what others think about us and want to get lots of likes and attention of strangers. Today you go partying with your partner and act like a queen and a king. But when you're alone you're not even talking and have your eyes just at your phone. That's not even love anymore. Does this situation make you happy? Get to know each other! When you love someone, you trust them not to pull the trigger of a gun. So how can you be sure that the other one doesn't pull the trigger when you're not even trusting each other? Love nowadays isn't even love anymore. It's just about not being alone in society and acting like you're the happiest person on earth because you need the attention.
