Driving through the apple blossom

Hello world,

guess what? I have a lot of news for you! Actually, I think sometimes it’s not only chance but fate that leads to an event. My mum has a calender with quotes of luck for every single day. Last week, I read the quote: 

‘The shortest distance between two people is a smile.’ - Victor Borge

On the same day in school, we talked about exactly this quote in our french lesson and suddenly I realized how much a smile can say. 

I’m really fascinated by the nature these days. It’s such a beautiful spring with so many flowers. It’s like I haven’t recognized it in all the last years before. Last weekend, I hold my breath everytime I saw another highlight in a beautiful park in my hometown. Today, I took the chance to take some special photos because the apple trees are in blossom.

There are some music and movie news I want to share with you: First of all, check out these cool music videos of Avril Lavigne’s ‘Here’s To Never Growing Up’ and ‘Demons’ by Imagine Dragons as well as the amazing acoustic version of ‘Still Into You’ by Paramore. Moreover, here is a short list of some more very cool songs I listened to in the last few days:

Muse - Panic Station

Birdy - Shelter

The Cure - Lovesong 

I’m really excited about a new movie coming to theatres later this year featuring Channing Tatum playing the main character. It’s called ‘White House Down’ and the trailer looks very cool. 

Last but definitely not least, there’s something more to tell: Last Monday was such a big day for me. I had my driving test and I DID IT! I was so nervous and the last lesson before the final hour was terrible, but in the end it all went well, I received my driving licence and I’m so happy about it. So that means, from now you can meet me on the road! That’s why I took the chance to drive quite a few times this week -  to my grandparents or to see the apple blossom. Unfortunately, I also experienced what it’s like to meet chaotic drivers. But all in all, it’s such a great feeling to drive fast in my car. 

Smile and enjoy the day! 

How to smile instead

Hello everyone,

in the last two weeks I had some serious problems concerning my health. I guess in some ways my body wants to say to me: ‘Sorry, but this whole thing is too much for me. Please take away just a bit of all that sorrow and stress!’. It’s not always that easy but now I try to remember this message in every situation. I mean, I’m not able to change my whole character that is always worried, but in some cases I try to smile instead of thinking of the negative sides or other problems. Moreover, I try to do just as much as necessary because otherwise I guess I won’t be able to stand it any longer. 

I think it’s a bit sad, that only such health problems needed to remind me of living this attitude. It should be something we should live everyday because it’s definitely the right way to live. We shouldn’t be reminded of that fact. We should just have it in our blood. 

But there’s still one question: What if it won’t work? What if I - don’t taking it that serious anymore - mess it up? I guess these are also some questions that shouldn’t be ask. Because in life, there will always be situations where everything goes wrong but we shouldn’t fear these situations, we should keep our heads up, learn from every step and try again. 

Today, I had some great reasons to smile and even when there were also some moments not worth to smile, I did smile nevertheless. Instead of being sad, stressed, worried or annoyed, it’s the only right thing. I guess it’s worth a smile when you can see the beauty even when it’s raining.
