call from the void

Hello, it's me, the void.

I'm calling you again from the depths. It's been a while since we have spoken. Have you been so caught up in your day-to-day that you've forgotten about me? Knock knock. Whisper whisper. I'm still here, patiently waiting, and my business is still the same: To remind you that you're the one who has to make sense of it all. Does that sound challenging or even overwhelming? Nobody said that life was easy.

You've made yourself quite comfortable in your comfort zone, haven't you? Time to look outside it. To push the boundaries that are getting closer and closer, leaving you minimal room to breathe. Or is that what you call life? Is that what you want? You can now ponder this question before your first coffee, on the train, or in your dreams. No, I don't have an answer either, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Haha. That would be waaay to easy. Boring. Pointless. Neither will I promise that you'll find one. Unlike most things in your life, I'm not an algorithm programmed to fulfill each of your trivial little desires and providing you with fast and cheap pleasures.

But what you indeed have to do is look me in the face. Face me. Completely. With all my dark und uncomfortable edges. I'll poke you, oh yes, I will. You need to wake up.

That's all I wanted to say. That's that. Do with it whatever you want. See you next time, your black hole.

It's going down. Deep down.

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...
