Turning an autumn leaf

Shades of pink and lavender. Sunsets are always the most beautiful when the light hits some clouds...


Autumn is here with a bang and along it came a massive flue. I´ve been suffering from a runny nose for like two weeks but now the damn illness is loosening its grip. Finally. The worst part is that it kept me from doing sports which I absolutely love. Now I´m starting again but carefully. Today I made a leisurely walk for like one and half hours. Walking is sometimes really nice because you have time to think about things without really having have to focus on the exercise.


Having a stroll in a cool autumn evening is quite nice. Another thing marking the end of summer is that we opened our art exhibition with my sister. I´ve been preparing for it all summer and thanks to my self-discipline I managed to get all painting done in time. Feels like I really achieved something. At the opening I had a really weird feeling because suddenly all my work, the insides of my head, was out there on display for everyone to see. I felt kind of bare. Like some artist sometime said: artists always paint themselves in a way. And it´s true.

Our CVs and some props like pictures of our grandparents

That´s why job of an artist is so risky and delicate. You expose yourself to the whole world, what you think is good, and hope that the public will agree. What would be worse than being a failed artist? Maybe that´s the reason I didn´t start studying arts because I can´t bare the idea of failing.

Now I´m getting back to my studies which feels nice, too. I like hanging out at the uni with all the hipsters and future business men and whatever. What a divided lot. And everyone thinks very highly of themselves because they go to university which is like.. the highest education you can get. It´s maybe highest but not the most useful or important. But that´s maybe a topic for another post...

Good night !!
