Zahlenmengen




 
atürlich kann ich auf dich zählen, das hast du mir immer wieder versichert, natürlich liebst du mich -
    doch frei nach dem Unvollständigkeitssatz würde ich sagen dass beides weder bewiesen noch belegt worden ist.
    Ich konnte immer darauf zählen, dass du mir nach jeder Trennung deine Liebe beteuerst,
    mich aber nicht darauf verlassen, dass du sie während der Beziehung zeigst.
 
    Kurt Gödel hatte jahrelang Depressionen und später auch eine zwanghafte Essstörung,
    er hungerte sich schließlich zu Tode.
    Ein Schicksal dass mir auch geblüht hätte, hätte ich mich weiterhin von abgelaufenen Erinnerungen
    und verdorbenen Zukunftsträumen ernährt.

    Giuseppe Peano und seine Frau Carola sprachen vermutlich selten über die Axiomatik natürlicher Zahlen,
    doch die leere Menge zwischen uns nahm in unseren Gesprächen ironischerweise den ganzen Platz ein.
    Je mehr wir darüber sprachen, desto mehr potenzierte sie sich -
    und doch blieb nur die leere Menge selbst, nie mehr, nie weniger.


um zweiten Jahr folgte die Erweiterung der bislang gekannten Variablen
   und wir bewegten uns erstmals im negativen Bereich.
   wir hatten viele große gemeinsame Teiler, jeder größere Streit trennte uns etwas mehr voneinander
   und es wurde immer schwieriger ein gemeinsames Vielfaches zu finden.

   Wie auch über Euklids leben kaum etwas bekannt ist,
    warst auch du zurückhaltend mit Informationen über deine Vergangenheit.
    Nach fast 1000 gemeinsamen Tagen könnte ich alles was ich über dich weiß in 1000 Wörtern zusammenfassen.

    Aber Worte waren sowieso nie dein bevorzugtes Kommunikationsmittel.

    Dennoch versprachst mir die Unendlichkeit, die Aufhebnung der Endlichkeit, einen Vorgang ohne ende
    aber mit Beginn. Und das bekam ich auch: endlose Diskussionen, nie geschlichtete Streitereien,
    ein offenes Ende ohne Lösung, gleichzeitig mit unendlichen.
    Dieses Leben, ein paar Jahrzehnte, nur noch einmal weinige Minuten, das hätte mir schon gereicht.


 uälend waren die letzten Wochen, unsere Beziehung nur noch eine Ansammlung schlecht addierter Brüche.
     Wie Leonhard Euler wurden wir im ersten Jahr auf einem Auge blind für die Fehler des anderen,
      versuchten sie nicht wahrzunehmen
      bis wir schlußendlich auch alles Gute übersahen.

      Durch die aufgestaute Frustration, das fehlende Verständnis füreinander, den gekränkten Stolz
      fielen wir in den finsteren Abgrund verletzter Gefühle
      und blind vor Wut verloren wir einander aus den Augen.
      Wir haben uns nie wieder gefunden.


 eelle Zahlen, so Wikipedia, bieten für jedes „stetige Problem“, das in einem gewissen Sinne beliebig gute,
    nahe beieinander liegende näherungsweise Lösungen hat, auch eine reelle Zahl als exakte Lösung.
    

    wir müssen also wohl jenseits der reellen Zahlen sein, sonst hätte ich ein Lösung gefunden,
    die nicht Trennung lautet.

    Denn das ist keine Lösung, sondern ein Abbrechen der unvollendeten Rechnung, ein Aufgeben der Aufgabe.
    Doch ich habe in unserer Formel nicht mit unerwarteten Faktoren gerechnet,
    deiner hemmenden Zukunftsangst, deiner unkontrollierbaren Gefühlsausbrüche,
    deiner Mutter.

   
    Über vieles könnte ich hinweg sehen, ich halte deine Hand und nehme mir alle Zeit der Welt,
    die Zukunft anzugehen, denn Zeit hätten wir gehabt, ich ertrage deine Wut und halte deine Frustration aus,

    Doch gegen die Liebe und den Beschützerinstinkt einer alleinerziehenden Mutter hat niemand eine Chance.
    Ich weiß nicht was oder wen sie sich gewünscht hätte, aber ich hoffe dass deine nächste Freundin es sein kann.

haos herrscht in meinem Kopf und doch kann ich nicht anders als mir auszumalen,
   wie unsere Gleichung geendet hätte, wären wir nicht so verschieden gewesen.
   Mit dem Altbau im 3. Stock, den zwei Zimmern, der Küche, Bad und dem kleinen Balkon.
   Mit einem kleinen gemeinsamen Nenner, vielleicht auch zwei oder drei.

   Mit imaginären Zahlen hätten vielleicht sogar wir eine Lösung für alle Probleme gefunden.
   Das was Descartes vermutlich am 7. September 1640 fühlte, empfinde ich jetzt.   

   Doch abgesehen von dem allgegenwärtigen Gefühl des unersetzlichen Verlusts, weiß ich auch,
   dass ich alles mir mögliche getan habe, und mir keine Vorwürfe machen muss. Es lag in deiner Hand.



Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen?    

   Frage ich mich seit dem ersten mal Mathematikunterricht in der Schule,
   und das werde ich vermutlich auch nie herausfinden,
   doch nun weiß ich was Dedekind noch nicht wusste:

   Die Liebe ist eine 
freie Schöpfungen des menschlichen Geistes, sie dient als Mittel,
   um die Verschiedenheit der  Menschen leichter und schärfer aufzufassen.
   Durch den unlogischen Aufbau der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehung und durch die in ihr
   gewonnene stetige Angst des Verlusts,  sind wir erst in den Stand gesetzt,             
   unsere Vorstellungen von Raum und Zeit genau zu untersuchen,
   indem wir dieselben auf dieses in unserem Geiste geschaffene Bild unserer Selbst beziehen.


a diary, a book, a poem











look at me,
born as pure as a blank piece of paper.
and look at me now: i'm crinkled and full of cuts,
full of lies and crossed out words.
and non of those words are mine.
strangers wrote all over me.

i'm full of the traces others left on me,
between the lines you might read
that they treated me like they've been treated before,
so don't blame them for dealing with their pain
in an unhealthy, destructive way,
they never learned to do it differently.

from generation to generation,
you get this burden of tragedy,
wrapped like a nice present under the christmas tree.
you'll wear it with pride and predjudice,
it'll be heavy and smother you, until you panic and run away.
here comes the (bride with the) commitment issues.

9 months pregnant with this foul aftertaste,
the bad words left in your mouth: "love","promise","support",
burning on your tongue like the lies never did.
the truth is hard to swallow,
the knowledge that something isn't right
and not like it should be, chokes you,
but with the right drink everything washes down quickly.

in labour, shouting at the child you're bearing,
as if it's her fault, that she has her father's eyes,
that you once longingly looked into
like you saw a bright future in them.
the baby is born,
or should i say the product of something that nobody would dare to call love.
congrats, it's emotional instability!

for every kiss there is also a fist being placed on a face,
every nice word is worth nothing,
if it's shouted in an ear at night
instead of whispered the next morning.
there's nothing good or pure in this world,
everything we do is based on our own egoistic wishes and twisted perception,
everythig turns to shit at some point, no matter how beautiful it has been.

every blank page of every new notebook
will end up in unreadable scribbles about nothing,
dark ink will sink into the white pages
and turn innocence into something evil.
look at me, born as pure as an empty piece of paper.
and now i'm the diary of a dyfunctional family,
who could write a book about bad decisions
and this is a poem of pain.

still loved




Im still loved.
I know you stopped loving me, 
or maybe you didnt, 
or maybe you never even loved me in the first place.
But it’s okay, not matter how you felt about me 
or you feel about me now, 
I haven’t changed.
My worth is untouched, 
I’m still loveable, 
no matter how many people love me back 
or leave me forever.
I’m not defined by the people who love me 
or who don’t like me.
I’m defined by who I choose to love, 
who I want to share my life with, 
and oh boy, I loved you lots.
And I shared everything with you, 
trusted you more than anybody else, 
thought we had something special, a connection,
you loved me back, 
you left me anyway.

And that’s okay. 
It has to be okay, 
because if its not, 
nothing else will ever be okay again.
I have to accept, that loving and caring for someone 
means losing them at some point.
You can't keep someone forever, 
nothing is forever,
and everything changes all the time.
It’s rare, that two people 
change the same amount 
in the same time 
and in the same way.

But is it worth it, 
to love, 
if you know that you can only lose?
That there will be no winner in the end, 
just broken hearts and wasted time?
Good memories with a bitter after taste, 
salty tears and the exchange of bad words 
where once trust and hugs ruled?
No matter how and when it ends, 
it will always be worth it.

I refuse to become heartless 
and even more cynical, 
because I keep getting hurt.
I won't let stones weigh me down, 
because I had some bad experiences, 
when I could be flying, 
and having great experiences in the future.
I know that people keep leaving, 
and due to that I’m full of self-doubt and disgust, 
and I can't even be mad at them, 
because we share this hatred for me, 
I can't stand myself either, 
and I would walk away if I could, 
believe me.

So I have no right to blame you for burning bridges.
But we build a beautiful bridge 
and I dare you to find someone 
who carries your soul the way I did.
I’ll suffer now, 
but oh dear, 
you’ll suffer later.
Even though my heart is broken right now, 
I know that I’ll be okay.
I know that I’ll get over it 
and find someone new, 
not to fill the hole that you created, 
but to open up a new one 
so they can leave their very own mark.
I won’t try to replace you, 
I’ll plant flowers on the grave of our friendship 
and they’ll grow into a garden 
that I’ll never visit again.

In the future, I won't deny myself the pleasure of intimacy, 
because I’m scared of loneliness.
I won't stop smiling now, 
just because I know that I will cry later.
I’ll still be open and soft on the inside, 
easy to bend and easier to break, 
because that’s what makes me me 
and I won’t give you the pleasure of changing me, 
making me a different person.
You didn't impress me that much.
And I wont deny new people 
the pleasure in getting to know the original me, 
and not the version that you destroyed and left.

I’ll be great, if you witness it or not.
I’ll be happy without you, 
and sad, not just because of you.
I’m loveable not matter if you’re around or not.
I’m still loved, even though not by you.

And no, I wont just ignore the fact that you're gone, 
I wont just move on and pretend like nothing happened, 
I’ll pause everything, 
fall down on my knees and cry, 
because I’m me, 
because I care and I’m not afraid to still care, 
even though you stopped caring about me.
I’ll be sad and angry and lonely, 
and that’s okay. 
I’ll have all of those feelings 
and I’ll cry a few times about you, 
and that’s okay. 
Because I rather care too much and too long, 
than never at all, 
and I rather still think about you everyday 
with a tear in my eye, 
than to forget everything we had.

I’m not impressed by your lack of emotion and regret, 
I pity you for not being able to feel enough, 
for having to hide and be strong,
because I allow myself to be weak 
and to break down for someone, 
that mattered to me.
I can’t say, if you really don’t care anymore 
or if you’re just scared of getting hurt, 
but look at me, 
I’m not scared, 
I put everything out there for you to see and to judge, 
and it was no mistake, 
because some day someone will come along 
and see the beauty in my faults 
and cherish the things I can give, 
in a way that you obviously couldn’t.

I feel sad for myself, 
because I thought of you as a friend 
and as it turns out, 
you were just a traveler, 
stranded in my life by mistake. 
And I feel sad for you, 
because you missed the opportunity of being my friend, 
of listening to my bad jokes and my bad advice.
well, we all make mistakes and shit happens.
I know I’m far away from being perfect,
but at least I’ve always been loyal, bitch.

The 10th love.


I didnt want to write this. 
And bear in mind, that i'm the one who even wrote a love poem about the postman once, just because he smiled at me.
But now i'm doing it, even though everything i write too much about, tends to fall apart.
I'm already falling- every day i fall for you.
Every day that I talk to you or even just about you, I fall in love with you once again.

Don’t tell anyone, but there’s a fucking romantic deep inside of me (not just because i ate him) and I'm not just talking about fucking on rose petals with candles on the bedside table -
I’m speaking of love letters and diary entries with just your name written down 2849 times.
I dig the way you laugh (about my jokes),
I’m into your smell, your taste and - oh my god your tongue,
I’m attracted to your voice and your words and everything about your mouth and what comes out of it,

And also you’re fucking hot.
But you haven’t burned me yet.
Still, I’m on fire, because I want you.
Now and tomorrow and probably even next week.

Everyone before you spoke to me on some level, but you speak to me in every way.
Even the stupid stuff you say, makes me feel some kind of way,
even if you imitate me and say something “mean” and this horrible feeling hits me for just a second, before I realise that you’re joking, is precious to me and I wouldn’t want to give that up for anything in the world.
So let’s just give it up for the heart that I wear on my sleeve, that is actually somewhere in your pocket right now.

The online dating experience - Part 2




We’re all longing for something, but nobody seems to be able to give it to us. 
No matter if it’s sex, intimacy, someone to just listen to us, someone to love, someone who will accept us, someone who shares our interests – it’s never enough or it's too much or the wrong person, the wrong time, or just not quite right.

I'm single.
I’m also intelligent, i know i'm talented in one way or another, funny as hell and fuck it, I can be charming and sweet if I want to, aswell.
I might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I know that I’m pretty in certain angles and lighting and my figure is about average.
I’m not very insecure anymore, I’m getting more and more comfortable with my own body, I’ve been in therapy for 5 years now and my meds are working, so  I’m not a trainwreck or a ticking timebomb anymore, I haven’t quit studying (yet), I have a few hobbies that I could talk hours about, I know what I want in life and kinda how to get it, and all in all I think that I could be quite a catch.
But the thing is, to have a relationship, an affair or even just a one-night-stand, you need at least two people. And that’s where the problem starts.

My biggest problem are not the rejections, or the uncomfortable first meetings, forever waiting if (s)he writes back, the sound of my phone that's starting to sound a lot like crushing hearts, hopes and dreams, the time and thoughts you invest in someone and then you realize that you actually don't have anything in common, the fact that even when you're two sides of the same coin you have no guarantee that it will work out, the sudden break-ups with just one ‘pling’ of my phone, the short-term-things and how fast everyone moves on, how nobody’s willing or able to concentrate on just one person, how we’re afraid of trusting someone, how we don't give us time to get to know them, how we give up before we even tried - i got used to all of that and being honest, i'm not better or even different than all those people out there. 

My problem is, that I don’t know what my problem is and that’s what really freaks me out.
I know that there’s a lot wrong with me, or at least not quite right, I know that I’m not always happy and adventurous, I know that I’m made of more darkness than light, I know that I enjoy twisted humour and horror movies too much, I haven’t seen much of the world or read all the classic books and don’t have the biggest boobs or the cutest nose or long beautiful hair or big eyes or perfect teeth or… well, I could continue doing this and list everything that sucks about me,but that won’t get me or you anywhere.
The thing is, i keep getting reminded of my flaws and i'm so much more aware of them since i started using dating apps.


Dating apps were supposed to make me feel good about myself, I should be happy, putting myself out there, meeting nice, interesting people - and not sitting on the bathroom floor, shaving my legs, because I read that someone hates hairy legs on women or standing in front of the mirror and thinking about how long I could go without eating, if I spent my money on cosmetic surgery instead.
You’re not supposed to anxiously stare on your phone and ask yourself if he likes you or not, you should not question your worth, just because a stranger from the internet didn’t respond to your “hey, how are you? :) ”

Self-confidence is not how many matches you have on tinder, how often you get laid or how many hearts you broke last week.
Happiness is not seeing a different guy every night, jumping from relationship to relationship and being proud of yourself for not writing her again, even though you fantasized about her for 2 weeks straight now.


Love,kissing, sex, orgasms - It's just chemical stuff happening in your brain, it's not magical, it's just hormones.
And actually it's not that important, we need water, food, oxygen, money maybe, but not actually human touch and love to survive. Or do we?

I think we all are secretly hoping to suddenly match that one person, who is – without a doubt – our perfect match and you’ll talk shortly and then meet in person and fall madly in love and everything's perfect and all your friends are jealous.
We are all secretly hoping, that we get the acknowledgement that we think we deserve, we want respect and compliments and inspiring conversations and beautiful people and talked-through nights and sweet kisses and passionate sex and a happy ending.
We are all secretly hoping that an algorithm will save us from loneliness, spare us from the hard and time-consuming work that is dating, from going out and kissing frogs until we find a prince. The process of dating, the getting to know someone and all the first times  have become a necessary evil,we're tired of asking the same questions over and over again, of small talk and the scary unknown, we want to skip all of that and get right to the good bit.
While we’re installing the app, we’re all hoping for the day we can delete it again.

Everything's about finding someone else's holes where we could put our genitals in or hands we could pour our soul into.
But there should be so much more.

The 5 people you'll meet on tinder (and other dating apps) - Part 1



Someone told me yesterday, after we talked for hours about online dating apps and our experiences with them, that i should write a book about my adventures.
And that’s of course a terrible idea. 
I’m 21 years old, irregularly using dating apps for about a year now, and my experience is by far not enough to write a whole book about it.

So I decided to write a blog post* instead.

We all heard of them and i know that most of you are active users, too. 
I've seen you on there, don't even try to lie about that.

I'm talking about tinder, okcupid, lovoo, grindr...

Using all of my two brain cells, fundamental psychological knowledge and my past experience, here are the 5 people, you'll find on tinder 
(and even you'll fit in one of those categories).




There are 5 types of people out there:

 the sad-guy, the bed-guy, the mad-guy, the bad-guy and the ted-guy*.




[*guy is just a placeholder and can be replaced with human being/girl/non-binary person/anything your tinder-match identifies with most]



Sad-guy: 


a) He just got out of a serious relationship and thinks he’s ready to get back out there, but he's probably pressured by his friends to get back on the horse. He is emotionally still invested in his ex, smells the shirts she forgot at his place and strokes pictures of her when no one's looking. He's just sad at first, you have a few nice conversations, then he’s overly emotional, moody, appears to really like you, but one day he’ll confess that he’s not over his ex yet. What a surprise.
b) He's an outcast, the nerdy typ, quiet, shy, desperate for love, insecure, too scared to write first. He doesn’t get shit done, because his own insecurities are in the way. He's probably a nice guy, but too scared of rejection and failure to even really put himself out there.
c) He's mysterious, cynical as fuck, sarcastic, funny, hot in this indie/hipster way, probably an artist, talented. Beware, of course you’re fascinated by him, but you know that you’d have no future. He’ll drag you down and he’ll judge you for swimming back to the surface because you don’t want to drown. He can’t be saved, especially not by you. You’ll never meet in RL,but you'll probably write poems about him.
d) a combination of all of the above


Bed-guy: 

wants the sex, gets the sex

a) He's egoistic, wants to see your nudes and sends you dick-pics without asking. For someone who seems to have a lot of sex, he's terrible at it. He talks about his penis way too much, and has never seen a vagina up close because he can't tell the difference between the labia and the clitoris. (fuckboy)
b) He's great in bed, makes you cum and cuddles afterwards. Doesn't snore, showers afterwards, he's handsome and polite, the guy your mother would like. But he's not in the need of a relationship or a friendship with benefits and he'll be gone faster than he came.


Mad-guy:

a) I’m not sure what his actual intentions are, but he’s arrogant, thinks he’s better than everyone, calls himself an 'alpha male' and feels entitled to your love/body/attention. He likes to provoke pointless discussions and starts fights, is aggressive for no reason, questions feminism and basic human rights “just for fun”. He's always straight,white,cis and a “nice guy” (fuckboy), 
b) A troll
c) That weird, much older person that keeps looking at your profile and asks if you’re into big dicks.


Bad-guy:

a) He’s charming, funny, hot and has a cute smile. He's birthed by John Green but nurtured by G.R.R. Martin. He's intelligent, but doesn't show off with his knowlegde. You could imagine that he's a loving son/brother/(boy)friend, and would like to overlook that he's deeply insecure, fucked up, and with tons of emotional baggage that he won’t ever talk about. You write a few times back and forth, maybe even meet up, there's something between you, your friends see it, but nobody knows if he actually likes you. You fall in love, he gets scared,and disappears. He's the worst of all of them. 
(fuckboy tarned as the love of your life)
b) all of the above but he's open about being an asshole and doesn't try to make up excuses (like a dysfunctional relationship with his parents or a broken heart.)
I know it hurts, but forget about him, there’s no scared, sweet guy behind this facade and you will never be able to change him.


Ted-guy:

a) Ever watched himym?
He’s the one looking for the one, ready to settle down, but also open for anything, the love child of the bad guy and the sad guy. He's kinda boring before you get to know him, in bed average at best, he's reliable and financial stable, but he's just not the one for you. 

You stayin contact and maybe become friends
b) He falls in love with you, but you just don’t have any romantic feelings for him, it’s awkward and you don’t want to break his heart but you’ll have to eventually, don’t be a bad 
guy.

How do you say what you mean?




How do you tell someone that you like them?

You just say it, right?
“I like you.”

And they may smile and accept it and carry on with their lives or just say
“Thanks, you’re cute as well”

and you just want to stop the world, grab their shoulders and shake them and shout
“NO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, I LIKE YOU, I WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR LIFE, OF YOUR HEART, OF YOUR FUTURE,I WANT TO BE IN YOUR MIND ALL DAY AND IN YOUR BED ALL NIGHT I LIKE YOU, I LIKE EVERY PART OF YOU,I WANT YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU EVER COULD BE, I WANT US”


But you just smile and nod and carry on with your life 
and never mention anything like that ever again.



How do you know if someone likes you?
They’ll just say it, right?

“I like you.”

And they look you in the eyes, smile and carry on with their lives and all you’re able to say is

“Thanks, you’re cute as well”



and you just want to stop the world, grab their shoulders and shake them and shout

DO YOU REALISE WHAT YOU JUST DID?! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, AND I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS, IN WHICH WAY DO YOU LIKE ME, DO YOU THINK I’M A NICE PERSON OR WOULD YOU LIE AWAKE WITH ME AT NIGHT JUST TO TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING AND HOLD ME TIGHT WHEN I CRY?”

But you just smile and nod and carry on with your life, forever wondering 
but never daring to ask.




















How do you say what you mean?

9 loves


You were the one I read in books about,
the one I saw on tv, the boy out of love movies,
sadly my life was never romantic fiction.

Every coldplay song was written about you,
i still can't listen to most of them.
You were everything I was never brave enough to be,
I wasn’t even brave enough to tell you.

The first one I got close to, the first one I trusted more than anyone else,
the first one I loved more than one could ever love oneself,
the first one who saw everything,
the first one who broke me to pieces I never could put back together again.

The one after that was everything I knew I was as well,
but louder and more carefree,
I waited 6 years until I told him,
he answered not loud enough and careless.

I never wanted to leave, you wanted to keep me around,
I wanted to be yours, you wanted me to be one of them,
I wanted everything, you wanted most parts,
I left, you never ran after me.

We discussed a lot, we fought with passion and aggression,
we couldn’t stand each other’s guts,
I miss you so much.

For the first time someone chose me before I chose them.
You were a lot of my first times.
You chose me over her.
You offered me your everything before i even chose you. 
We chose eachother for a while. 
But then you chose someone else over me.

I knew you were like me from the start, we got along fantastically
and seeing myself in you made me see so much more
about the person I am and I aspire to be.
Sadly you couldn’t stand the fact that I was just like you,
because you hated the way you look and couldn't stand mirrors.

You did know
that you didn't know if you wanted me
and i did know,
that i didnt want someone
who
 had to think twice before choosing me.


The one who gave up before trying,
the one who keeps coming around but is too afraid to stay,
the one I want to trust the most or even just again,
the one who will probably hurt just like everyone before.

5 things she taught her


1. 
just because he tells you that he loves you
doesn't mean that he'll carry your heart 
the way it needs to be held

2. 
if he just looks, but never listens, 
if he touches your boobs but not your heart,
that means he just wants what’s underneath the layers of clothes, 
not what's underneath your ribs,
he just wants between your legs, 
not between the pages of your diary.


3. 
he should always love everything of you,
when you're wearing white cotton or black lace, 
everything on your sleeve or nothing at all, 
handle your body sometimes rough, but your soul always gentle

4. 
If he likes your pretty smile, bite him 
and ask him if he likes your sharp teeth as well. 
Your love should leave marks, but never scars,
see if he'd bleed for you.
If he’s into biting it’s a bonus.



5. 
if he leaves you and comes back again and again 
and tells you he still loves you 
and then disappears again 
and then keeps coming back 
like a wave on the beach 
or the waterfall of blood in your pants every month, 
don’t drown in old memories and new found interest, 
don’t shed tears, but blood, 
treat him like your period: 
take what you need to numb the pain, 
eat chocolate 
and let him suffer.

Die Klippe





Ich sage es.
Sätze sprudeln aus mir heraus,
Wortwellen überschlagen sich,
großer Wal, verschlucke mich,
Dunkelheit, vergesse mich,
Worte in meinem Kopf,
komm schon, spuck mich aus.
Mein Gesicht ist nass,
Gischt von unten, Regen von oben, Tränen von innen,
wisch es auf, rutsch nicht darauf aus,
geh doch wieder nach Haus
nein, ich will nicht raus,
lass ihn in deinen Augen schwimmen.
Zieh mich runter,hinab
tiefer, härter, schneller,
ich kann dich fast berühren.
Du musst meine Seele führen
erreicht dich nicht,
zieht sich wieder zurück,
ich hab dich verführt,
du glaubst du hast etwas gespürt.
 Bitte lass mich herein, nimm mich auf,
das ganze nimmt jetzt seinen Lauf,
wurde neu getauft,
nenn mich dein,
denn das könnte ich sein,
öffne mich,
verlier dich nicht
ertrinken oder verdursten?
Betrunken, berauscht, besinnungslos,
auf dem Schoß,
im Hals den Kloß,
legen wir los –
Goldenes Band um deinen vierten Finger,
könnte dein Rettungsring sein, 
doch das Gewicht lässt dich sinken,
wir können einander nur noch winken,
vom kalten Wasser kalte Füße bekommen,
sind wir noch berauscht oder nur noch benommen,
wo sind die Schwimmflügel?
Drück mir die Luft aus den Lungenflügeln,
lass mich fliegen.
Den sicheren Hafen sucht man auf der offenen See vergeblich,
ich wollte nur den Leuchtturm sehen,
stattdessen musstest du dort stehen,
es war fast nur ein Versehen.
Du wusstest nicht wie man brennt,
nur wie man rennt,
habe ich dich doch schon längst ausgelöscht.
Strecke die schlaffen Arme nach mir aus,
drücke alle die Säfte aus mir raus,
fahre zärtlich über meine Haut,
Küsse mich, küsste mich, Küste…
Ich muss keine Welle sein, um an den Klippen gebrochen zu werden.

The thing about falling in love




Well, I’ve been hoping about „growing up“ for a long time now, because I couldn’t really accept the fact that I always lose my shit when a nice guy walks by. 
That’s a thing which some people just simply call falling in love but I don’t really think that's how it works. 
Despite the fact that we’ve probably all been in love once - well at least we thought somebody is hot in our opinion - it’s never something you get used to.
Maybe because it’s just biology rushing through your body and causing panic... Well at least in my body. 


After reading at least 20 romantic books I expect to know how love works, but until a moment, which happend more than recently, I actually thought it would be horrifying and connected with panic.
That’s why I was always scared of falling and love and to be honest still am. 


I’ve liked a few boys and always had the feeling that they were, in a weird way, I don’t know, ahead of me and don’t really like me the way I do. 

I never felt like I could actually be a part of their life, so I always hoped to meet a person which kinda fits into my life the way I would fit in his.
This always seemed like a really high expectation to me but - as you probably know - at some point in life everything can change just by one person walking down the street.


It actually scares me that the panic went away very fast but it was still weird. Friends told me that my reaction of being calm is just the exception of maybe being in love but I don’t think thats the point. 

I think it’s just the fact that there’s a person I could accept to be in my life in ANY kind of ways. 
And that’s the point. 
I don’t like the idea of falling in love or being with someone just because someone says „hey, you fit together“. I like meeting someone and then go „well, he’s nice, let’s wait if there’s more“, because I think that the way anything should start of. I’m open for finding out we’re perfect for each other but if it’s a person who fit’s in my life, I would be happy about having a good friend aswell.

I’m really surprised by this conclusion because I expected my usual thinking. Usually I think if I don’t start dating this person, I will love him. 
But maybe this thinking has also to do with the person everything is owed to. So maybe it’s just about meeting the right person at the right time to find good friend for life or the person I want to be with. 
And maybe there is nothing wrong with me and my reactions. 
It’s just that I haven’t meet the right person for feeling good, well until now.
