Naivete and indifference
it is a hurry burning of youth
a reckless run packed in women and alcohol
with open arms and bare chest
gathering in a single embrace
everything my life has to offer
I stop like a train at a deserted train station
I sound the alarm
let everyone come down
and who else can escape
a sinister thought
is worrying me
the absurd is getting close to me
each second
is bringing it closer
an apparition
scaring my sight
wants to try
its powers on me
I instinctively
move back from the fireplace
so that I do not see the fire that
has lit my imagination

Finding Your Light: Embracing Imperfection
When you stop trying to please others and cease striving for perfection, your light returns. We often believe that women become unhappy because they are not pretty enough, not perfect enough, or not hardworking enough. But what truly exhausts women isn't these things. It’s trying too hard in life.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
