My Blog - Emotions

Hope is a fundamental aspect of my life, the importance of which should not be underestimated. I plan to discuss this aspect, as well as the other points mentioned, in a separate article. I am aware that there may be differences in the way people evaluate it. Nevertheless, I am confident that it will be possible to exchange views on the individual points. Expanding knowledge is an ongoing process that can and should be done anytime, anywhere, and in any way possible.
Everything will be fine!

Emotions

André - Part 5 - The one who looks back and smiles

Sometimes I sit there – in my armchair on the terrace, a blanket over my legs, a cup of tea in my hand – and think back. Not because I want to hold on to everything, but because I like to smile. Because when I look at my life, I see a collection of stories, experiences and encounters that no one...

André - Part 4 - He who never lived just for himself

I have achieved a lot in my life. I have been on the road – professionally, privately, politically. I was loud when I had to be. I was quiet when listening was more important. I have seen cities, managed projects, been part of stories that others may never know. And yet, when I look back today, it is...

André - Part 3 - The man who fought for education

It all began with a question at a parents‘ evening. Nothing big, no revolution – just: “Would you like to be the parents” spokesperson?’ At the time, I didn't know that this small decision would change my life. That a voluntary position would become a voice that echoed throughout Berlin. And that...

André – Part 2 – The man who built spaces where people could grow

It was never just an office. It was never just a job. And it was certainly never just work. My architecture firm was my second home – and sometimes even my first. It was the place where creativity, technology, madness, family and coffee came together. It was a place where people not only worked...

André – Part 1 – The one who never quite fitted in

I never really fit in. Not into the pigeonholes that others hold in front of your nose. Not into the roles that you would like to play. I was always somewhere in between – between left and right, between order and chaos, between rules and rebellion. And strangely enough, that was often exactly the...

And yet something remains

It is difficult to put these thoughts into words. Perhaps because they are too big. Perhaps because they are too close. But maybe also because I myself still don't know exactly how to categorise all of this. I am sad. Deeply sad. And at the same time, endlessly grateful. There are days when I wake...

An architecture firm between creativity, technology and family

From idea to reality - an architectural firm between creativity, technology and family It was never an ordinary architectural firm. It was an idea that grew over time, a vision that constantly evolved. Even during my engineering studies, I started to set it up - not as a traditional firm with...

Sophia – My angel stays on earth

There are people who enter our lives and accompany us for a moment. Some leave traces, some fade over time. And then there are those rare souls who touch us deep in our hearts, who stay – no matter what happens. Sophia is such a person.

My world the way it should be

When I look back on my life, I see a story full of adventure, full of encounters and moments that have shaped me. I have experienced a lot, traveled around the world many times, met people who have enriched my life, and been in places that have touched me deeply. And although there is no marriage...

Sophia and I – between coffee, chaos and clever thoughts

Some people come into your life, stay for a while, then disappear again – and then there are people like Sophia. She is not a chance acquaintance, not a fleeting friendship that fades in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Sophia is an anchor, a fixed point in my life. We met in 2010, in a...

Between past and present

There are people who stay, even when years go by, even when life changes, even when you don't see each other often. Sophia is one of those people. We've known each other since 2010 and from the very beginning our conversations were different – profound, open, honest. Even then, she knew more about me...

Sophia – The woman who keeps coming back into my life

Some people come and go in our lives as if they had never really been there. They visit your life, leave barely a trace and fade over time until they are just a vague echo in your memories. And then there are people like Sophia. People who not only stay, but who, even when they disappear, always...

More than words: a heart that holds me

Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to tell her how much she means to me. It almost feels as if life sent her to me exactly when I needed her most – even though we have known each other for years. She is not a psychologist, a therapist or a professional counsellor to me. No, she is my...

The burden of silence: a sentence that was not heard

Sometimes I just want to talk. To write. Share my thoughts. It's not these superficial, nice thoughts that you politely formulate and casually share. They are deep thoughts. Feelings that push outwards. Dreams that want to be put into words. Without flourishes, without empty phrases, without that...

A life full of colour – gratefulness for a unique adventure

I have lived a life so full of experiences and adventures that sometimes I can hardly believe it myself. It has been a life full of ups and downs, of adventure, challenge, love, joy and pain – a life that I consider unique, exciting and precious. When I look back now, I see a path that has taken...

My family – one herd!

My family and the extended family of my former partner were characterised by a very special, very lively dynamic that enriched me greatly. My two daughters are now grown up, have completed their studies and found their wonderful place in life. One of them has become a mother herself, and my...

Change of the decision due to satisfaction

I see myself as an adventurous traveller who has not only wandered the world, but also through life, and experienced a lot in the process! I have seen and experienced so much! I have pieced together the great mosaic of life and learned so much in the process. It has been an absolutely fascinating...

Life as it is – about freedom, love and contentment

My life has not turned out the way I once imagined it as a young person. Back then, I was full of dreams and plans that I projected into the future with great confidence. But life has its own way of drawing paths, and mine has often unfolded differently than I would have expected. Today, I look...

"The life of the day"

Today, I am a person who sometimes notices how my strength is waning, how quickly I get tired and how difficult it can be to muster the energy for everything that life demands. But I am not weak every day, and I am not sick every day. There are those precious moments, those days when I feel strong and...

My peace (when all is over)

In my future, I live in a small, bright house that stands slightly elevated on a huge, gently rolling meadow. Surrounded by nature, which my soul looks forward to, I see the dense stand of trees to the south, which envelops me almost like an embrace. The trees look majestic and familiar, like old...

My Future

Every morning I wake up and feel the calm that surrounds the house. The sun shines through the windows as if to tell me that every moment is precious. Sometimes I lie in bed a little longer and enjoy the peace and quiet. Sometimes I get up quickly because I have an awful lot to do.

My Soul

  To most people, I was an enigma, a mysterious soul with feelings as deep as the ocean. I also had the uncanny ability to remain inscrutable, to hide my thoughts and feelings behind a veil of silent introspection. Yet there were moments when I allowed glimpses into my inner world, moments when I...

The Hug

Hugs can indeed convey different meanings and emotions based on various factors, including the relationship between the people involved, their cultural background, and their personal preferences. Here are some common types of hugs and their potential meanings:
