What 2018 taught me

… and I am grateful for 🙂 🙂 🙂

Life is beautiful. Full stop.
Life is more beautiful if I live it fearlessly.
Letting go means I trust life. And why shouldn’t I?
To some friends, I am always beautiful, even if I feel lost. (Thank you!)
Raw emotions and honesty open doors I could not see before.
It takes strength to ask for help and take it.
Note to self: When in doubt, light candles, sit in the quiet and listen.
I want kids.
Being thankful is cleansing. Anger, revenge, hatred, cynicism and the like are not.
When (not if) I get married, there will be no colour scheme but the rainbow one. 😉
It is okay if I do not know. Ask questions anyway!
Following my gut when I am ready is better than deciding rationally because I am not yet ready.
I am an excellent single traveller. The world is a beautiful place I have not yet seen enough of.
Life is better with a cat on my lap and another one on my feet.
Family is fragile.
I love dancing.
Everybody has their own speed. As do I. That is ok.
I can not save my mum. I don’t always get her. I still love her.
There is no “pause“ button in life.
To forgive somebody, I need to unterstand him/her. And myself. That is why it sucks.
When in doubt, kiss him.
Doing what I love, or making the effort of finding out what that is, is damn good advice.
Life is too short to spend it with people I feel I “should“ have time for (for whatever reasons..?!) that actually do not give me anything but a headache.
To some people, it does not matter if you are single, married, divorced, lost, in love, crazy, German, sad, happy, a teacher, not ready, or whatever. I intend to keep these and ignore the others.
I don’t want to go back to Germany, but I am not sure that I want to stay here in Austria forever.
If I am asked if I want to sit it out or dance, I sure dance.
Whatever I find on this quest, it is gonna be ok.
