It may come as a surprise to you (just as it did to me) and you might not believe me what I will say now, but life can actually be fun. This enlightening insight came to me right on the first bright spring day, and in this case I think correlation can indeed be interpreted as causality. It's not ONLY spring that makes up for such a change in perspective, but it sure has a major part in it. What also might have had an impact: Sunday, having slept enough, and pursuing fun activities. Nevertheless, I can't help but find it astonishing how human mood varies. Sure, we're not robots that can be programmed into happiness or sadness - but still: Has anyone ever understood why one day they're perfectly happy and life's a beach and on the other, life is a never-ending tunnel of misery? If so, please explain this to me. 

Some days are like this....

If humans can be satisfied so easily - why am I so often either completely overwhelmed or empty (sometimes it's even a mix of both, and yes, that's possible)? Is it postmodern life that puts such contradictory and unnatural demands on us? Is it my mind that's wired up in a weird way? Or is it just that I haven't figured out yet how to "change my mindset" or integrate more things that make me feel complete into my every day life? How could we lose sight of what we truly long for? What happened to the lovely creatures that we can be? When did they turn into pilot-operated gears? How could we have strayed so far from the path? 

... and some like this

Maybe each one of us has to find their way how to overcome the hurdles that life throws at you and squeeze out the sweet juice, and yes, it can be veeeery sweet. Maybe it's the bitterness that makes it sweet.
