The Transience of Written Words

This blog has changed repeatedly over the past years. It started as a small diary of a Bavarian media designer and evolved into a collection of stories from creative minds across Germany and beyond. It transformed from the bible of Berlin nightlife to a tabloid for hipsters. From a digital news site to a nonstop ticker of viral happenings. Eventually, I faced a monstrosity of false expectations and hopeless prospects. This website tried to be everything but collapsed under the weight of not being able to do anything right. For various reasons, I had forgotten what this blog was truly about and aimed to stay relevant at all costs in the fast-paced media chaos.

Looking ahead, there was only one choice: keeping up. Keeping up with the news. Keeping up with the trends. Keeping up with the loud, shiny, and flashy. At some point, I was blindly churning out news, lookbooks, gossip, YouTube videos, shitstorms, and sensational content in a completely irrelevant mix. The blog had become filled to the bursting point with nonsense. By the end, all I wanted was for it to be over. One last night, soaked in cheap wine from the convenience store, I rummaged through the old texts. The ones I had published when blogs were just getting big, when life was still a game, and when everything seemed right with the world.

I realized there was only one way to save my blog: to do the opposite of what I had done in recent years. My blog should once again become a peaceful garden amid a jungle of nonsense. A place where everyone can have fun, whether they want to indulge in the profound reflections on the transience of life or simply marvel at a few pretty images of even prettier adventures. Everyone is welcome to look around and take with them the thoughts and opinions they find important, right, or amusing. I would be happy if I could continue to accompany you, entertain, and inspire you a little on your turbulent life journey - doing it my way.
