Lie down on the bed. Cover yourself with a cool heavy blanket. Place your arms loosely along the body. Take a deep breath; then exhale, relaxing your chest. You are ready to fall asleep. It's only up to your unconscious, what you are going to have a dream about. A sweet-sweet dream or a dreadful unsettling nightmare? Sleep tight! Don't let the bedbugs bite.
''I am still thinking about these dreams. They were so intense, frying my brain for weeks.'' Some humans can't remember their dreams at all, believing they don't dream. Yet, even a newborn can dream. It may sound foolish, but I believe our minds travel to another world when we sleepwandering in an alternate universe while our Earthly bodies rest. From terrifying nightmares to exciting lucid dreams, the tales provoke contemplation about one's own sleep journey.
My suitcase was packed the day before I left. Adventures ahead and absolutely no plan what was awaiting me. Now I am living in the US and living my personal dream - selling the best chocolate in the world to worlds largest retailers. On the way I met so many great people for whom I am infinitely thankful. Meeting new people usually means answering the same questions all the time. What is your name? How are you? Where are you from? Where do you work? Living abroad shifts those questions slightly and I collected 12 questions that I get frequently asked and decided to write down my thoughts of them. I don't want to give the answer "Fine, how are you?". I want to dive deeper and explain. All those things that don't fit in the thirty second answer.
Soulmates. When we think about them we tend to romanticize their existence. But what if it is all far from finding a partner for life and instead more about finding that one person who is the final key to uncover the mysteries and beauty of our own lifes? This is not a lovestory, but a story about love in its purest form. A mindful walk through stories, all connected to each other, but every single one special for itself. Made for all those freezing little lifes with a broken, empty heart to be healed and inspired to find their purpose and own place again in the precious connections they make, rather with special souls, nature or finally with themselves. Because this is what he always wanted to show us. And he still does it. He will always do: "Suddenly, there was a stranger in my nightmares. Someone I had never met in my life at that time. Someone I could not even imagine existing. But he saved me not only from my nightmares, but also from the harsh truth of reality. "
Welcome to 'My Brain in Words,' where I've gathered my thoughts and feelings and turned them into short texts, poems, journal prompts, and questions. It's like taking a peek inside my mind and seeing the world through my eyes. For years I wrote down these texts in my phone note app until now, when I finally get to share them with you. But more than just sharing my own perspective, I hope to spark something within you. Through these words, I aim to offer a fresh perspective, a new way of thinking and seeing things. It's like we're on an expedition together, exploring the uncharted territories of the mind and soul. Who knows what we might find along the way? The possibilities are endless.

'I'm so sorry...' I start as I look up and realise who it is as the man turns around to face me. 'Oh, hi.' My voice sounds strange and high-pitched, but I cant believe my eyes. It is him. The guy from Starbucks. The one I ran into twice now. Literally. How embarrassing. He must believe me to be a total spas; if he even recognises me. But the guy immediately starts smiling. 'Hi. Thats a surprise.' 'Yeah. We should stop meeting like this.' We both start laughing and I start to feel like myself again. He is just a guy after all. No need to be self-conscious. The man holds out a hand to me and says, 'Well, I kind of like it.' What if one run in with a stranger and a spilled coffee cup could turn your whole life upside down? Talia was never big on 'socialising' and liked to keep to herself until one day running into a very handsome guy and spilling some very hot coffee all over herself helped her realise that there may be more to life than she thought.
