How a website changed my life
Berlin, New Years Eve, 2016-2017, seven in the morning.
"I'm going to be an author", I said to my friend at an art gallery afterparty, drunk and high from the pills I bought from two girls sitting in the corner.
"Cool", my friend replied and continued to talk about something else.

| Let me tell you a story: I was in Berlin, walking around Neukölln, a bit bored and aimless. It was a very gray day. And I was just waiting to exit Germany and go to Italy, where I was heading for a base camp in Trieste. And then I find a very small b ...more | |

A very well-written book that combines cleverly storytelling to theory in a very extreme way. Like many before me, this raised a lot of questions: what is true and what is not? How popularised is this? Obviously this is highly fictional in terms of st ...more |

“Voin pahoin, koska olen myrkyttänyt itseni. Mutta miksi itsensä myrkyttäminen aiheuttaa niin paljon euforiaa? Haluammeko kuolla? Samaan tapaan kuin vapaakiipeilijät kokevat syvää onnea tippuessaan?”

“En tiedä mitä ajatella, koska kaikki on olemassa samaan aikaan, en hahmota asian muotoa, koska näen sen kaikki sivut samanaikaisesti. Olen lumisokea. Mietin näkemääni sokeaa pientä tyttöä, joka oli museossa vierailulla avustajansa kanssa. Kun avustaja kysyi kierroksen päätteeksi, haluaako tyttö muistoksi esitteen, niin tyttö kysyi mikä kuva siinä oli. Siinä on kuva museosta, avustaja vastasi, ja tyttö sanoi, että haluaa sen muistoksi heidän päivästään. Sitä kirjoittaminen on. Totuus lipeää käsistä, kun siihen yrittää tarttua. Muisto haalenee joka kerta, kun siihen palaa. Hieroglyfit eivät toimineet, koska kaikelle ei ole kuvaa.”

“Kirjoitan niin keskittyneesti, että sormilleni valuu kuolaa. Muistan lukeneeni, että sylki on suodatettua verta. Emmekö me ole sitä kaikki, suodatettua verta?”

“here she is, all mine, trying her best to give me all she can. How could I ever hurt her? But I didn’t understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.”

“For a while" is a phrase whose length can't be measured.At least by the person who's waiting.”

“I have always had a great need for solitude. I require huge swathes of loneliness and when I do not have it, which has been the case for the last five years, my frustration can sometimes become almost panicked, or aggressive.”

“By working only when you are most effective, life is both more productive and more enjoyable. It's the perfect example of having your cake and eating it, too.”
