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.

 This week's insights (so far): - Stress and worries are subjective perceptions. What you consider an easy task might be a tough challenge for me. Everyone has their own threshold for when things get too much or too difficult to handle.  - Coffee helps. Almost always. Except from when trying to fall asleep.  - Spending time with friends and family is nice, but when introverts don't get enough alone time, we can't enjoy others' company either. Fill your batteries first. There's no obligation to be sociable all the time. - Shitty days can get better. The next day at the latest.  Maybe not what spring looks like, but a hommage to the grandiosity of beds - Wrapping yourself in the soft coat of sleep can magically remove worries overnight.  - Spring hasn't come yet. So let's enjoy the last days of winter doing what we will be too busy to do during summer: Drinking tea, reading the newspaper, streaming videos and wearing woolen socks.

Kleine Alltagsamüsements

Putzig: wenn Menschen statt Umlauten die “einfache” Version der Vokale nutzen: Musli, Tschuss, mude, Kuche,... Funktioniert auch andersherum: drücken (statt drucken), Küss, Süppe,... nötig: dass Menschen verschiedener Berufsgruppen - vor allem bei einem Gefälle im sozialen Prestige/Status/Ansehen dieser Berufe - sich im Alltag begegnen und dieselben Orte aufsuchen. zB wenn auch Bauarbeiter:innen und Hausmeister:innen in der Uni-Cafeteria Kaffee trinken, selbige auch zur Betriebsversammlung des Forschungsinstitutes kommen oder Ärzt:innen und Krankenpfleger:innen zusammen ausgehen. drollig: wenn das Herrchen oder Frauchen den Vierpfoter eher über die Straße ziehen als anders herum. Gute Analogie für schlechte Führungskultur in Teams. irritierend: es klingelt an der Tür. Stimme an der Gegensprechanlage: “Kann ich mal kurz rein?” - Klar, aber - wer bist du? erfrischend: Grunzen. Könnte man viel öfter tun.

I LOVE travelling!

At times, all I can think of is holiday, going away, breaking out of the routine and seeing something completely different (okay, actually the places I'm going to then look fairly similar to my home town: middle sized towns with pittoresque houses, surrounded by green middle high hills, often crossed by a river). So much I longed for time away from everything. After three days into the trip, however, what I longed for most was home. Not because the holiday was so terrible. I didn't get bedbugs or a sunstroke and I wasn't robbed (all of which have happened recently, to me or people around me). I just didn't have any drive for activities anymore.  Impressive, but not for a mind that is already full What I probably really needed was not an exciting trip with lots of new impressions and little adventures, but a bed somewhere by a lake and a week of rain. To simply do nothing. Not the kind of doing nothing where you're stuck behind a screen, paralysed and restless. But t...
