“For the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that Love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.”

-  Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

I know I’m repeating myself but thank you all so so much...

I know I’m repeating myself but thank you all so so much to the moon & back for all your inspiring and supporting words about my new adventure. I’ve had more messages, emails and letters than ever this weekend & I’m so motivated & thankful. Some of you asked me if I’m scared and how I dare to just move, and a lot of you said that I looked really happy & inspired in the video, and all of this is true. I am a bit scared but, no matter how corny it sounds, knowing that you’re with me on this journey makes me feel less alone and that gives me courage. And when you find a way of life you love so much that it makes you stay up all night and then run out of bed before the dawn, you’ve got to be brave enough to live it, be it, breathe it.

Anyway, so today is the LAST DAY OF THE Tell The World-SALE! :D I sent a big beautiful bag of orders yesterday and I’ll send the rest tomorrow morning, so go go! 14 HOURS LEFT! www.theGlassChild.bigcartel.com :)

And here’s my awkward speech if you missed it :)

"When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said,..."

“When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said, and flashes of witty sociability with nobody. But all of this vanishes when I face someone in the flesh: I lose my intelligence, I can no longer speak, and after half an hour I just feel tired. Talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial.”

- Fernando Pessoa

"But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for..."

“But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.”

- Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom

"One must not always think so much about what one should do, but rather what one should be. Our works..."

“One must not always think so much about what one should do, but rather what one should be. Our works do not ennoble us; but we must ennoble our works.”

- Meister Eckhart

Ahhh you’re all so beautiful and amazing and THANK YOU for...

“I’ve always rejected being understood. To be understood is to prostitute oneself. I prefer to be taken seriously for what I’m not, remaining humanly unknown, with naturalness and all due respect.”
