Deep down inside.

"Right now I want a word that describes the feeling that you get - a cold sick feeling, deep down inside - when you know something is happening that will change you, and you don't want it to, but you can't stop it. And you know, for the frist time, for the very first time, that there will now be a before and an after, a was and a will be. And that you will never again quite be the same person you were."

- Jennifer Donnelly, A Northern Light

Then and now.

Emotional vulnerability.

Sometimes we say really hurtful things to/about people we very much care about and love. Sometimes we don't mean any of it. Sometimes we mean it but never had the reason and chance to hash it out honestly, so we wait. We wait for the appropriate and very inappropriate moment, we wait for the conflict. An argument, or a fight. And that's when we decide its time to say it all. Or, wait .. we never actually decide, we just do without thinking all the hurtful words come out. Your feelings exposed. When its over, when the air is finally cleared. All you could think of is; Oh no I didn't! That's when it hits you, the guilt, why did I? Regret. Resulting in a mess of hurt feelings. No matter how much you think you're past everything that was said, you're past the argument, you're over the fight, but you or they will never forget. The words leave an eternal mark, there's no way around it. You will always have it in mind. Resentment, or something like that.

Lesson: Regardless of the many many differences you have with your surroundings, there are things you know you shouldn't say. Things you never want to say. Things you don't want to clear, because you can't help getting all hurt or defensive when other people point out a few things that they think you could stand a little improvement in. You try, try your best, but it still happens.

Remember

Allah Kareem.

All we do is linger.

It's funny how I give everyone around me the never lose hope speech. And a couple of days ago, I talked myself into giving up hope in a certain something. Maybe that's the only way I'd be able to move on instead of lingering and waiting up. Some things aren't worth the wait anyway. Maybe, it didn't happen yet, because it never will.

I watched Madeline over a grillion times throughout my childhood, I should know by now "you can't make something happen just by wishing for it." right?

Keep going.

'The greatest battle is not physical but psychological. The demons telling us to give up when we push ourselves to the limit can never be silenced for good. They must always be answered by the quiet the steady dignity that simply refuses to give in.
Courage. We all suffer. Keep going.'

I was here.

'I want to say I lived each day, until I die.
I know that I had something in somebody's life.
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave, that I made a difference and this world will see.'

I wish here - Beyonce. Album 4.

The heart of Europe.

I'm blogging from the train, on my way back to Vienna from Prague. Prague is a beautiful city! Very touristic, I fell in love with the details of the old buildings, that survived and lived through many centuries. I have to admit exploring the wonderful city needed at least five days to be able to visit all the famous places! I visited Prague's famous castle, the Old town square which was so close to our hotel and Charles Bridge. I loved the Old town square, its right in the middle of Prague, the heart of the beautiful city. It had a magnificent church, many restaurants and cafe's. We were able to see from far during our city tour the Powder tower, a very old tower that was built to store gunpowder, it was not so far from the Old town square as well. What I realized is that, half of the people I came across are tourists! Really, even more than half.

During the city tour, when we were walking to Charles Bridge, we came across John Lennon's peace wall, a wall with beautiful graffiti by people from all around the world that left their mark on it. We also came across a small bridge above the Valtva river where lovers wrote their names on locks and threw their keys in the river. An idea that always exists in many parts of the world such as Rome, Paris and Moscow. I found it very romantic and interesting, it brought such joy to see hundreds of padlocks of people are in love!

Hit the road.

3 days ago, we hit the road up the hill to Josefsdorf. Regardless of the hot weather, the road trip was so much fun! Only thing the got in the way is the flu that was only getting worse and worse. I visited the pharmacy for almost three times, because the meds I got weren't doing me any good.
That's only because, well .. here goes the confession.
Confession: I had ice cream twice or maybe more...
Excuse: I couldn't resist!!

Genuine smiles.

It's not that it's something I don't already know, but today showed me that it is very much true. Without the slightest doubt, nothing comes close to simple and genuine. Genuine smiles are beautiful!!

Little of everything that I came across today;
