I can shine even in the darkness.

Loneliness. I remember, even as a small child I hated being lonely. Now I never did mind being on my own – alone – but I hated to be lonely. I remember crying on my 22nd birthday in Finland. In my mind, in my heart I was oceans and mountains away, back home in Austria. Learning a lesson doesn’t come the easy way – no matter if it’s re-assuring old friendships or talking to a virtual stranger. It’s a give and be given, trust and be trusted, feel and be felt. Wherever you may be.

I believe.
