I did great things this year. However, I have been sad most of the time. I travelled and met new friends but every time I was reaching my objectives I felt lonely. I went to bed alone every single night and I woke up alone every single morning. This year has been professionally rewarding and sentimentally depressing. My heart is a place where love has not shined this year. I felt melancholic, I felt nostalgic.
♫Komm, süsser Tod♫
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
whats done is done, it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
my world is ending♫♪♫
I chose to walk alone but doing so I lost any landmark. I lost my coordinates. Reference points are so far away... sometimes I can not even see them. I have been in the dark, I felt in the dark.
♫When Will I See You Again♫
When will I see you again?
When will our hearts beat together?
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?♫♪♫
I spent summer at home, alongside my family :) It was lovely and I felt like I could recover from my moody depression. This is the wonderful place that I belong to.
♫Past, Present And Future♫
Was I ever in love? I called it love - I mean, it felt like love.
There were moments when, well, there were moments when.
(Present), Go out with you? Why not?
Do I like to dance? Of course,
Take a walk along the beach tonight? I'd love to,
But don't try to touch me, don't try to touch me
'Cause that will never happen again,
Shall we dance?
(Instrumental Interlude)
(The future), Tomorrow? well, tomorrow is a long way off.
Maybe someday I'll have somebody's hand.
Maybe somewhere, someone will understand.
You know I used to sing a-tisket a-tasket a green and yellow basket.
I'm all packed up and I'm on my way and I'm gonna fall in love,
But at the moment it doesn't look good
At the moment it will never happen again
I don't think it will ever happen again.♫♪♫

Then, in mid-September summer came to an end.
♫The Final Decision We All Must Take♫
In the end the final decision we all must take, make or break,
will decide what will be and our destiny.
If we lose the fight armageddon will finally tell,
burn in hell, there will be no after, be no other day.♫♪♫
I flew to London for the third time this year to work at Frieze. Once back home I worked night and day on my applications for two schools but after having sent them to London I suddenly realized that the place where I was would have become soon the wrong place to be. There was nothing else to do at my home.

♫Everything you've ever dreamed♫
You can sail the seven seas and find
that love is a place you'll never see
Passing you like a summer breeze
You feel life has no other reason to be
You can wait a million years and find
That heaven's too far away from you
Love's just a thing that others do
What is love
Till it comes home to you♫♪♫
Will I ever love again?
Things will happen in 2014.
Next time… A new beginning!
