I came to Earth during Tinder-High-Season

Modern dating has never fascinated me, but I guess I will have to play along, as I ended up on Earth during Tinder high-season. Yet, impatiently waiting for it to become like that picturesque southern Italian island mid-December – beautifully deserted.  I can probably count the dates I have been on using both hands. Swiping left and right has turned me into a shallow being. Why are they all so short?!? I won’t lie, I have always experienced life through the eyes. And why wouldn’t I? Earth is beautiful. But being on the apps makes me feel like I am searching for the America’s Next Top Model, instead of someone to hold me during late August thunderstorms.  As I would not classify myself as an avid dater, I would say I’m a curious observer. Nothing really surprises me, yet everything amazes me. Have humans skipped the part where they ask genuine questions to get to know someone? And I don’t mean ’What sex position do you prefer?’ Clearly, a first-date-approved question for many. ”Conservative,” they …

You are not something to achieve

You do not need to be fixed. All is well, my dear. Everything is exactly as it’s supposed to be. You’re fine. No, you’re more than fine; you’re perfect. The sun will rise again tomorrow. And you will too. In a world where constantly striving to be the best version of ourselves has become the norm—even an obsession—be the one who stands firmly, grounded and at peace. Striving for perfection is like stepping onto a never-ending roller coaster. Trying to improve yourself 24/7 (yes, you are—you’re wearing that watch that tells you how poorly you slept), hoping to reach that higher, better, more aligned, more-at-peace, beautifully zen version of yourself. Nothing outside of yourself will ever help you reach that if you’re constantly neglecting what’s within. How do you think you’ll hold on to that feeling of “finally, I’ve made it” if something inside you is screaming for your attention, but you just look away? “No, I don’t want to listen. Instead, I will go there, do that, improve that, achieve that—anything that will make …

Let Nature guide you

Just like Nature, we evolve, one precious season at a time. As summer is still upon us, with her humid days and soft nights, Nature asks us to shine our brightest. To speak up and let our deepest desires be voiced. There’s no need to shout them to the entire world, but at the very least, be honest with yourself. What do you want? There’s no time for hiding, as the air is warm, the breeze is fresh. Let the wind carry your voice. Let it be expressed without guilt. There’s a time for being quiet, a time for being honest, a time for looking ahead, a time for pressing pause; there’s a time for all seasons under the sun. It starts from within. It starts with you being honest with yourself. If you can’t express yourself to others, at least express yourself to yourself. Trust your voice. Trust your being. August is often seen as the month to start fresh. Begin again, again and again. But know that you can start anew whenever you …
