Love And Life.

Love needs energy and change. It can’t stand still; it gets stale. Otherwise, it’s like an open Champagne you find the next day.

Nevertheless, we wish it never ends and try to hold on. We don’t move, hardly dare to breathe. Oh, may it last! And that, unfortunately, is the end of it.

And what happens to everyone when we stop moving and daring? We get bored, old, and die. We must set foot into insecurity, leave the balanced state, and embrace the not-knowing. From perfection to imperfection, to something new. That is called life!

The art is to enjoy the process. To wake up at 3 to see the sunrise from the mountaintop. To share something we are ashamed of. To invite someone from the street to your home for dinner. To dare to get embarrassed by opening your heart. To embrace your shadow to find the light. To recall the good old memories and, at the same time, to see your love and life every day with fresh eyes.
