what's on your mind?

[via]

well my dears, 

 seeing your response in the {latest post}

has been again just so heart warming,

so thank's a lot!

I don't know about you, but I love handwriting

{thank's mum for teaching me calligraphy from the very early years}

and the whole aspect of forming letters in order to communicate

a certain point is kind of ingenious, isn't it?

however for granted 

we might be taking it

I mean, can you imagine life without written speech?

the impact it has in our lives?

do you sometimes wonder how life was before certain inventions?

oh but please, do not mention Internet,

as it has really become a cliche... 

and as far as I' m concerned,

life was still nice before internet, despite its numerous amazing indeed applications,

{writing a blog being one of them, ahem, ahem}

somehow I sometimes get the feeling that

not far are the days that people will be avoiding

being online, tired of being over connected,

overexposed themselves

&

over bombarded by advertisement and promotion techniques

yes, I know so far we call them social media,

but really who are we kidding?

how many "pages" can we really like and actually follow their updates,

still having quality time to ourselves

&

 still being able to experience true calmness, relaxation

and this wonderful feeling described in

the German language as " Wohl fühlen"?

{feeling complete}

how many acquaintances can fit in our FB account,

filed under friends?

sometimes being online starts feeling like watching a favorite film

on a rather bad national T.V channel,

interrupting every little while for advertisements,

honestly how much stimuli can fit our brain capacity

and then

how many hundreds of things can we actually like?

since FB was invented I believe the word LIKE

to have totally lost its original meaning.

we may hit the "like" button in fractions of a second,

which is rather too fast for any real connection

to be established in our minds

between what we actually saw and what we really like

personally I don't need any kind of reminder

 for the things I like,

and the same goes for the people I like

exactly because I like them,

parts of their personality and way of life influence my thinking

then "hell might freeze"

they will be still remembered, respected and in some cases also loved.

and to make this a little more personal,

if you forget about this blog, my work or me,

because I do not remind you a few times a day,

every day, 24/7,

then may it be that you forget about it!

it means that other things are more important for you

and that is quite all right.

I do though have the impression that quite a few of you here,

always remember these pages,

even perhaps have them in a pretty, little corner in the back of your heads, 

regardless of the exposure I try {or not} to bring

and then I feel very, very honored...

cause who saw a breathtakingly beautiful woman

 and forgot her after she disappeared?

 who met kindness and never recalled it again?

 who read magnificent poetry and forgot their favorite lines?

 who entered a magical place and forgot about it

 because they never returned or heard about it

again?

this blog might not be a breathtakingly beautiful woman,

or a poetry book,

it might be no palace either

but of anything that it might be, it is the truest expression of who I am

and developing into being each day

and I think this to be carrying a significance of its own

so, I hope that you come back and check new posts from time to time

as much as perhaps returning to reading some of your favorite previous posts

around here

...........................

and how about seeing together a couple of {my favorite prints} of meaningful quotations

styled by Lotta Agaton, the work of which I truly admire?

it'd be great if you shared which ones are your favorites

and why

I'll do the same in the comments section,

after yours though ; )

I mean, really, even when we sometimes go through these self love periods

and we feel that somehow we might be a little bit fabulous in our ways,

so what?

there are just countless fabulous people out there...

and how true is this... rephrased to:

"the world is but a mirror of ourselves"

and then,

familiarizing ourselves with fear 

can perhaps be the most liberating 

experience of our lives... 

at least when I stopped ignoring my fears

and starting facing them,

they immediately begun loosing all of their glory....

have your tried showing your teeth to Mr Fear?

ha!... then you'll see who's scared....

just like an elephant scared of a tiny mouse, 

 only to realize that the poor little "thing" 

cannot actually do much harm to him

and after all that, in the end of the day...

 what is more heartwarming,

 soul soothing & mind relaxing 

than saying 

 to this one special to you person:

i love you...

have a lovely evening my dears
