oh, cairo I

BRAVO mubarak: gather up an angry 3 million in #Tahrir and make them even more angry! http://twitter.com/NevineZaki


But no one can really know what that means or brings or what would have changed and happened if it had been another way. Oh, Cairo, what will this night of February 10th 2011 bring for you? I'm afraid it will be nothing good, really. And I won't judge anything now. All I wanna say is that I'm afraid for the people there.

Work & Future

"Have you ever tried?"
"No."
"Then don't tell me I can't."
-Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr

My favourite quote forever, I guess. When I learned something during my internship and the last weeks it is that you have to believe in yourself and go your own way. Stick to the people who like you and who you like. Who are always there for you. The ones who never care to talk to you are not worth your time, really. There are enough people in the world worth fighting for and for some I would honestly do anything.
But sometimes you have to go your own way. There are a million things we are afraid to do. You get to know your limitations. But sometimes the things you thought would be the hardest, the things you have been truely afraid of, turn out to be not that hard after all. People understand you and support you. They can make it easier instead of harder. And after experiences like this you feel great. Because you know you can do things you never thought you were capable of. And there are so many things more you could do when you just started believing in your talents and yourself.
This life is about living it and making the best of your chances, so go out and do it. You can, even if you don't know yet.

Hurts - Stay

My whole life waiting for the right time
To tell you how I feel
And though I tried to tell you that I need you
Here I am without you
I feel so lost but what can I do?
'Cause I know this love seems real
But I don't know how to feel

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away
Stay, stay
'Cause all my life I've felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay

Alright, everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
Nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away
Stay, stay
'Cause all my life I've felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay

So you change your mind
And say you're mine
Don't leave tonight
Stay

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away
Stay, stay
'Cause all my life I felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay

Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay, stay, stay, stay with me

Because it feels like they wrote it just for me. Weird world.

Yes, Paulo, you are right!

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do
is the worse kind of suffering.

Paulo Coelho.

Paris, mon amour

Don't. Let. Go.

NEVER GIVE UP.
IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL LIFE.

The Hunger Games

WINNING WILL MAKE YOU FAMOUS. LOSING MEANS CERTAIN DEATH.

In a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called the Hunger Games. There is only one rule:
kill or be killed.

When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her sister's place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature.

(Covertext)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is truly captuaring, breathtaking and will take your sleep away!
After Katniss' voluntarily step forward she is going to the capitol with the other tribute from District 12, Peeta. He is the boy who gave her bread many years ago and kept her alive with this gesture.
Together with their mentor Haymitch and their stylists they have to work out a plan to keep Katniss and Peeta alive in the arena. They have to be unforgettable to get sponsored by the people of Panem. But who will survive this cruel game the Capitol puts on?
You won't be disappointed, but for sure you will have something to think about, after finishing this book. And I gurantee you will have the desire to start book 2 (The Hunger Games - Catching Fire) at once!

I just can say that The Hunger Games is amazing and one of the best books I have read so far.

Auch auf Deutsch erschienen unter dem Triologietitel "Die Tribute von Panem" im Oetinger Verlag. Wirklich absolut lesenswert! - auch wenn die Originalversionen letztendlich doch nicht an ihrem Sprachgehalt zu übertreffen sind ...

music is stronger than words with emotions

Eigentlich wollte ich ja 'nen schönen Jahresrückblick schreiben. Allerdings bin ich da jetzt gerade irgendwie nicht so wirklich in der Stimmung zu.
Deshalb widme ich mich auch gleich meiner Therapie. Dem Schreiben. Aber nicht hier. Hierher gehört Musik. Weil sie Emotionen einfach viel besser transportieren kann. Und weil ich The Fray dafür liebe, dass sie diese Art von Musik machen. Unbeschreiblich und unübertrefflich.

Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
-The Fray "You Found Me"
