mhhhhmmmm, you describe so well the excitement of being a foreigner who has the will to integrate. it affords opportunity to spread light and positivity wherever we go because people like to interact with the oddone that obviously doesn't come from here.
being back in germany has shown this contrast for me. i miss walking around in other countries in europe. not so that i can feel special, but rather 1. that my presence can gift others an opportunity to say hi and 2. that the same old mindfucks of my home country simply don't exist in other countries. it feels like a bad spell has been lifted, and i'd much rather take on the local challenges than the tired old ons from my former home that still exist as forcefully as ever.

it’s strange how the “mindfucks” from our home country can be so much more intolerable than the ones from abroad. Perhaps it’s just not having the micro trauma of dealing with them daily as a child.
What’s your situation now? Always glad to hear from you!
right? we get that here a lot now.
ana and me are back in germany fixing he van up after 4.5 years on the road. and life here is a mixture of an odd caricature, and a sad movie lost in translation.
but we feel little resonance now, nor one way nor another. we just have lost the relation to the old "mindfuck" and we feel changed and grateful. so whenever that happened, 4.5 years did the trick somehow and we now see it in contrast.
found a nice housesit over winter, in italy, we'll probably write about it. we're super grateful for it. we will do anything we can to devote this winter to our arts as much as we can. o want to finally make an album, or at least an ep i am proud of. no better time than now i feel. world is steering to the peak of its mayhem and confusion and we are ready to adapt to what life wants from us as our farm home quest has not turned out successful.
i am stoked i finally got peakd access on my mobile. i had lost interest in hive on ecency as my feed is full of stuff i don't care about and i hardly ever see you guys on it, just the noise you know. put my small do-care group in a custom list on peakd and now i feel eager to come online more again and interact, as my feed is now shorter than the number of hours in a day ;)
it is good to see ya again and the few others.
