Stille Wasser sind attraktiv [English translation]

Mermaids

Mermaids are according to Wikipedia legendary creatures, whose characteristic is a so called need for salvation, that is to say, they can only be freed by the love of a man.

I'm a Nerd. But no stylish Hipster, more of a thinker, a total Chimera. I don't surf on any fashion trend nor retro wave, I surf on the Internet.

Books to read and texts to write, and sometimes I have the feeling that I'm different and alone.

Nobody looks like me and nobody seems to be close to me, sometimes I have the feeling that no one is like me.

A place where I belong, there is none for me.

But why do I feel different?

And, and, and what should happen next, I wonder, what do I do wrong, I just want to blend in, though.

But then blend into what?

And what should it be called, because we are indeed all different and in that sense are similar to each other.

Maybe it's not about what divides us but about what we have in common.

Maybe that's why we know each other instead of staying alone.

Because it's rather a matter of content than of form.

It's rather a matter of individuality than of norm.

It's actually a matter of fantasy, and above all it's more about the what than about the how.

What should it be called after all?

'Everyone is strange and odd' but these are mere synonyms for peculiar and unique

If someone tells you you're different, then tell yourself that different doesn't mean wrong, it's just another way of being right.

And if you want to get along, you have to move your ass, you have to face your worst fears!

If you want to succeed, you must fight off your pain barriers up the toughest mountain and keep moving forward.

And what matters is not how high you can leap, but how high you think you can.

It's not about physics, but about imagination.

Above all it's a matter of what rather than how.

And who bounds another enclose themselves

Who weakens another doesn't feel themselves strong

Me, I open my heart and leave life intact because I believe it's good enough that way.

And then I meet you, and you see me.

And you take, because you're by me and you make the sight clear, you make real and visible

There are so many expressions, so many countables

But we are two variables, on which there was nothing to count, and I find my place. I find my space.

In the smallest intersection of your world and mine we are the smallest common diversity, we are what holds us together and maybe at the first sight I'm not so cool, maybe even boring for many people, but I listen to your words and I like your voice, because I like you and the way we turn the world in our favor. And this makes me splendid to me.

We are both more than the addition of ourselves,

We are both more than the hours that we share, we are both more, we are both like mermaids, whose characteristic is a so called need for salvation, that is to say, they can only be freed by the love of a man.

Maybe you are this man for me.
