Ich will das wahre Leben spür´n.
Es hat dicke, rote Lippen, es riecht nach Wein und wärmt mich in der Nacht.
Es flüstert, weint und lacht.
Die Frage ist bloß:

Wie wird man seinen Schatten los?
Wie sagt man seinem Schicksal nein?
Wie kriecht man aus der eignen Haut?
Wie kann man je ein andrer sein?
Wen soll man fragen, wenn man sich selber nicht versteht?
Wie kann man frei sein, wenn man seinem eignen Schatten nie entgeht?

***

I want to feel the true life.
It has full, red lips, it smells like wine and keeps me warm at night.
It whispers, cries and laughs.
The question is just:

How do you get rid of your shadow?
How do you say no to your destiny?
How do you crawl out of your own skin?
How can you ever become someone else?
Whom should you ask when you don’t understand yourself?
How can you be free, if you never escape your own shadow?

Happy Birthday!

#Polishedman End Violence Against Children

Her 5 cocuktan birinin fiziksel şiddet ve/veya cinsel istismara maruz kaldigina dikkat cekmek icin #polishedman hashtagi ile baslayan kampanyada bir parmagini boyayan erkekler, cocuk istismarinda, farkindalikla, degisimin buyuk bir parcasi olan ilk adimi da atiyorlar!
Turkiye'de yilda 11.000'den fazla cocuk istismara maruz kaliyor bunlarin %20'si 11 yasin altinda...
Giderek kirlenen bir dunyada, erkeklerin ellerini bu farkindalikla boyamalari da son derece onemli.
Benim gibileri etkileme yolunda, kadina karsi yaklasimlarda, bence simgeciligi de elestiren oje surme kampanyasi, asik olunacak erkekler kategorisine de bir arti 😉

Men around the world are making a simple yet first powerful statement in an attempt to end physical and/or sexual violence against children with the hashtag #polishedman, by painting one fingernail to raise awareness and funds to support the one in five children who suffer physical and/or sexual violence!

In Turkey, more than 11.000 children fall victim to physical and/or sexual violence, 20% of them are under 11. Painting the fingernail to raise awareness is very important to save our dying world. 

I believe that the polished man campaign is also criticizing the formalism against women and keep in mind that painting your one finger is a pretty good idea to get women to notice you as an adorable man. 😉

"For a while I gave myself up entirely to the intense enjoyment of picturing machines and devising new forms. It was a mental state of happiness about as complete as I have ever known in life. Ideas came in an uninterrupted stream and the only difficulty I had was to hold them fast. The pieces of apparatus I conceived were to me absolutely real and tangible in every detail even to the minutest marks and signs of wear. I delighted in imagining the motors constantly running, for in this way they presented to the mind’s eye a fascinating sight.

When natural inclination develops into a passionate desire, one advances towards his goal in seven-league boots. In less than two months I evolved virtually all the types of motors and modifications of the system which are now identified with my name, and which are used under many other names all over the world. It was, perhaps, providential that the necessities of existence commanded a temporary halt to this consuming activity of the mind."

Nikola Tesla

Look into the depths of your own soul and learn first to know yourself, then you will understand why this illness was bound to come upon you and perhaps you will thenceforth avoid falling ill.
