Survivor

Piece by piece, bit by bit life has torn you down. An emotional wreck nowadays. You experienced it all: Violence and Bullying, Pressure and Failure You barely got support almost nobody stood up for you you mostly were on your own And yet you kept fighting, struggling to survive and managed it, thank friends. You hide the scars on your skin, that show your pressure valves, your failure to cope Yet you do come out of your shell, reach out to find friends who maybe love you as yourself You're always afraid to get hurt though haven't learned it otherwise Can't really trust anyone You never lift your mask which hides that you're vulnerabl

Musing

Musing Leaning my elbows on the sill of the only window in my tiny flat I'm looking at the world outside. Scratching my arms softly, just so that I can feel my nails - I'm stable enough finally to not harm myself anymore - I wonder who's more trapped: Me, in my snail shell that is my home, working on my depression with professional help or the people out there who hide themselves behind veils of willful ignorance I wonder who's poorer: The beggar on that street below who I know shares the bits he gets with his loving family or the rich guy in his Ferrari, with no time for family or friends, worrying what to do with his money I wo

Reminders

reminders once a girl in early teens lost too much of what she loved lost all her strength and hope made a mistake when all became too much for her alone to bear instead of seeking help she tried to chicken out and almost managed it almost but she was brought back and they helped her regardless she gained strength enough to help herself and started to reach out to do her best to help others she likes to forget that she was weak that she had that bad moment when she chickened out but then she sees her wrists and she knows she can't forget there are the reminders and will always be reminders that she's but a human

it would be a second life so i've been told with more possibilities than the first life i accepted it and saw it is just an extension an addition to what the first life gives it has the wrong name it can't be really a second life if the first life is still lived -------------------------------- es wäre ein zweites leben so sagte man mir mit mehr möglichkeiten als das erste schon hat ich nahm es an und sah es ist nur eine erweiterung eine zugabe zu dem was das erste bietet der name ist falsch es kann nicht wirklich ein zweites leben sein wenn man das erste noch lebt

My Bio

Born in '68, I grew up in the former GDR, in a village near Halle (Saale). After working in different branches, partly as a temp worker, I found my new home in Darmstadt, Hesse.
I'm early retired, but I sometimes earn a side income as an interpreter (German/English), and as a tutor.

My writing progress, so far

2 min read

November's almost over, and I've been in hospital for the first two weeks - so I haven't joined NaNoWriMo this year. However, I've done some major editing on "Mirror Visions" (which has now become a few chapters longer, got some changes to make it more credible, and a proper ending instead of the cliffhanger the original ended with). And I am five chapters into the sequel to "Mirror Visions", although I still have no good working title for it. However, with the current writing progress it might be that I'll need a second sequel until I get to the end I want for it. Also I've started to write the second episode to my on-going series "House of Maids" (unrelated to the Visual Novel you may find elsewhere here) and I'm working on developing a story from ideas I noted for the sequel to "Pinky". That sequel for "Pinky" though is a bit of hard work, because there's quite some years to catch up between the end of that short novel, and its protagonist's appearance as a performer in some

Okay, now with the green theme, Eclipse still looks and feels strange, still has some more hoops to go through than the Classic Look - but it's an improvement, compared to the black and the white themes.

So... Since it was said that the Classic dA look will be phased out soon™ no matter if we like it or not, I braced myself and actually started to use Eclipse. I must say it's a very different look&feel, and will take quite a while to get used to.
