“death must come, so make it life meaningful”

Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth

The little Gardner found an up-side-down mushroom. No signs of vandalism or what so ever. So he needs to find a shuffle to put it back how it belongs. 😄😉

Dogs are like a medicine, because they are so pure in how they act. Their energy works infectious in the most positive way if they are treated well.

This little doggy is running around in the forest, exploring. Enjoying the falling leaves and the growing mushrooms with their super funny shapes and colors.

The world wouldn't be the same if we'd stop using emoticons.

They're often expressing more than words can say, but should be used very carefully.

Interpretation is depending on the other person's state of mind.

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge...

One simple shot shows the world we are living in. Almost everything is controlled. It's sad somehow.

Patience is the key with bulbs. It all starts with trusting them to the ground, from that moment on there's something to wait and look out for. The process of growing is fascinating, but finally "almost 6 months later" it's time to share beauty with the world!

Passing an old container and this are the things I love to capture, because they tell a story. Different layers of paint, all damaged by use and now rust does the rest.

Not everything in life is clear and under control. Sometimes, and maybe more often we should let go, enjoying the moment. Open up! Dare to experience things differently, just breathe and live life.

Yesterday while walking I saw an old lady, who was fishing with her two grandchildren. She tried to make it so nice for them. they were sitting on a plaid in the sun, on a small wooden bridge. But one of the girls had a very dissatisfied face, like a thunderstorm, her smile was totally fallen off and it made her ugly. After seeing that, I felt so sorry for the grandma, but am truly wishing and hoping that this little girl one day will count her blessings and realizes that life is about the little things.

"Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received."

- Albert Einstein

How big is the chance in meeting your soulmate? We're all individuals, but are also longing for company, someone you can trust and for sharing intimacy. This struck my mind seeing all those single tracks and the heart that someone draw there.

~Millard Fuller

Some blue for Monday blues.

I have had a lot on my mind lately. Almost to the point where I'm unable to get anyhing done because of overload. I'm re-evaluating my life, my priorities, I see things I have thought certain and strong crumble.

I'm supposed to start baking for my cousins matriculation exam party next week, I'm also supposed to take her matriculation exam pictures. And I so gladly do. But right now I feel that everything is just slipping out of my hands.

Especially now, in these times of exams, of joyful new students wearing their student hats. White and pure.

And I remember when I stood there, happy, awaiting the next step in my life. With the diplomas in my hand, with my white hat on my head. Celebrated by family and friends. Free.

I was supposed to do great things, achieve so much. And I feel I have let that young me down. Graduating as the top of my school with a lot of pressure and expectations, from friends, teachers, and most of all from myself.

Where I am now? Have I done anything of significance? Have I used any of the abilities I possess?

It's almost ten years ago. What have I done with these years? What could I have done? Where could I be, if I just had continued to work, to achieve, walk the path I knew how to walk? Studying, reading, writing, researching, gaining knowledge. Instead I went another way. A way that brought me where I am today. A good place, yes, but...

Still those thoughts haunt me. What if. Still those shackles laid upon me during the school times rattle and ring. I should be somewhere else, doing something more... significant. Which would be what? And what is significant anyway? What is significant to me?

The hard part is to be able to recognise what I want, not what I'm supposed to want. I still struggle, hoping to find peace some day.

Being an adult isn't that easy, is it. Finding ones way, ones path among all the possible ones.

Add to this, it's autumn weather outside, storming, raining. +6'C. A fabulous blue Monday indeed.

*laughing*

I hope you, each and everyone, have a wonderful new week, whether you're sure or unsure about your lives. Let's make it a blast shall we! :)

CHAPTER I : AMPUTATION

The first picture of my self-portrait triptych (made with photoshop) about the most difficult period in my life.

The loss of the 4 most important people in my life.

The loss was raw, it was brutal, it felt like an amputation....

The wound bled, my heart was broken and slipped through my fingers.

I felt helpless and alone ...

In fondo quello che vogliamo non è una fotografia, ma una storia....

What we want is not a photo, but a story....

Anche quest'anno il mio compleanno è passato. Di nuovo a Bergen per la terza volta di seguito. Quest'anno niente festa organizzata, ma semplicemente incontri vari con amici sotto un bel sole. Arrivare ai 28 anni è strano. Improvvisamente ci si rende conto che sono già passati 10 anni dal 18° compleanno. 10 anni sembrano un'eternità eppure se mi guardo indietro sembrano passati in un attimo. E' strano, i 30 si avvicinano eppure ci si sente ancora "piccoli" e "incompleti"...mi chiedo se questo sentimento cambi ad un certo punto della vita. Ultimamente sto cercando di fare chiarezza tra i vari progetti per il futuro che ho in mente, cercare di dare priorità al "fattibile" ma anche al "desiderabile" è compito arduo.

Un grazie speciale ai miei genitori che mi hanno insegnato a camminare e molto di più...

We, people, live day by day, follow rules, vote in time, struggle to make ends meet, make love, raise up kids, work hard. Enjoying time together with family & friends, rewarding ourselves, while some of us cry at night, feeling lonely with no one to turn to when dark comes.

Some of our fellow human beings have pets to caress, others a lover to embrace. Some will die young, some die old and sick, some will die alone.

The walls listen. The walls keep us at distance.

Just the other day I read in the paper about a skeleton the police had found in Lille, France. The poor man had died apparently 15-17 years ago. He still lied in bed, dressed in his pajamas. How strange that no one wondered where he was all those years.

Abandoned by life. And death.

Some of us wake up early in the morning greeted by a joyful heart, eager to meet the new day.

Others prefer solitude throughout life, although they yearn for someone to touch. Some sigh alone, sit at the table, gloomy, unshaven, unwashed, smelling mold.

Some lucky people sleep together, side by side, holding hands, say sweet delights, while others curl up in the far end of the bed, feeling too empty to say a word.

Some will smile when they open their eyes and see their beloved still around.

Blessing the sunlight, as does my Mom.

Houses, homes. Lifetime of hope.

Some of us are homeless, house-less, living a life we know nothing about, unless we are there, sharing their fate of cold nights, under dark skies. I know of a few who made the choice of living on the road, no walls around, just living under bright stars.

Facades, masks.

Hiding, existing behind well built fortresses of loneliness, sheltering sometimes, protecting us.

Our homes, reflecting who we are, making a simple flat the nest of a lifetime. Mirroring our soul.

The stories we could learn if only those walls would talk.

Giờ cứ ngồi nhớ lại nghĩ lại, nhiều lúc cứ tự trách bản thân mãi sao những lần đó k thể hiện vs anh ấy nhiều hơn.. Còn nhiều lúc quẫn trí lắm, chỉ muốn tìm đến anh để đc ôm anh, đc ở trong vòng tay anh như những ngày đấy thôi..

- Deep day .. Rain ..
