Recently I talked to Ben about the re-appearance of this Weblog, and the new found joy to write here. He mentioned that I posted three stories on one day, which shows some kind of dedication but also might be bad for readers, because they would then expect frequent postings and that would impose pressure on me. To be honest, although beeing not visible active here for about half a year, I was thinking about this weblog a lot.

I asked myself what direction it should take, what and how to write, whether I would like to write in english (to have a broader reach) or should stick to german (because it seems important to keep and foster this cultural element). I questioned every single element in the sidebar and found out that I don't need most of them, I wanted it simple and clean.

For over a year now I write everything that is on my mind in a Moleskine notebook, strictly using pencils, no ball-pens or the like. Why? Because I love the simple, clean and light stroke that pencils make. Because I like to erase and make use of that very often.

I started to collect possible ideas for entries for this weblog, for the time when I would decide to reactivate it. I wasn't really sure whether this time would come, how long it would take and if I would really want it. But as you see, the time is now. I also collected the ideas (merely headlines, without any keywords, which makes some associations harder now) to see whether I would have enough to say that could possibly interesting to others. Not that this is really the case, but at least I got over a personal treshold that showed me that I could fill a few pages with entries that would matter to me.

But why do I bother you with this? Because I want you to know.

One of the stories that now perfectly makes sense to me and has connections with many other stories (some already posted, some yet to come) was titled Question everything.

When thinking about this weblog, I literally questioned everything. I wanted it to be different than it was before. I wanted to try something different, something that would take this venture one step further. Probably this is not really the case by now, probably this will never be the case.

But my wish has always been to develop. Me and the world around me. Sometimes I tend to criticize way to much, but the urge to take things to the next level, to change those that are wrong and to improve those that could be better, is one of the main motivations of humans to evolve, to emerge.

And that makes living so interesting.

Btw: I spent many days thinking about the language issue. As you can see: I couldn't make a decision. So it will be both, english and german.
