Frohnatur - why it sounds poetic

Frohnatur [ˈfʁoːnaˌtuːɐ̯] is a German word for someone who has a joyful and lively personality. When someone is a Frohnatur, they might cheer up everyone around them too and create an optimistic and blithe ambience.

The word is an exocentric determinative compound, specifically a possessive compound. The modifier Froh-, which translates to 'happy', does not actually describe the head -natur ('nature') as happy - therefore it's not literally a happy nature. In this case, the head -natur is a synonym for 'human being, individual'. Thus, the person called Frohnatur possesses a happy, cheerful personality. One could say, they possess a happy nature.

I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.

It's a little... strange to get back to things I enjoy. Life is happening and I'm in the middle of its way. Can I still lean back, take a book (maybe a crime novel, those that I really enjoy reading) and drink my little cup of tea?

I'm a linguistics student and I really really want to find back to my own path. I aspire to read and learn, I want to step out of everyone else's life so I can be in my own.

I think I've spent way too much time outside of that little place I used to find comfort in. It's not that I socialize a lot but it's more of a 'let-me-carry-your-struggles'-conflict which leads to living for people that might not even care as much for you as you do for them. In no world am I blaming anybody more than myself but I think it's time to step out of this pattern and completely live in my own little world.

I grew up telling my future self again and again to never ever let anything step inbetween her and her own way of living. Unfortunately, time made me forget about this promise.

Luckily for me, time has two ends. the one where everything starts and the one where everything ends. Since my connection to myself slowly vanished, it's still somehow possible to find the other end of time and start again.

I'm in a middle of a crisis in life but am I able to not lose myself again?
