As we go through life, we gradually discover who we are, but the more we discover, the more we lose ourselves.

✨ Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine. An you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others. And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about. #hurakimurakami (em Porto District)
Caroline and Vincci were chatting about what they were reading before their trip to Kyoto - Vincci recommended having a look at #hurakimurakami - Blind Willow Sleeping Woman.
“Era una romántica incurable, era intransigente, cínica y, dicho con un eufemismo, una ingenua. Cuando empezaba a hablar, no callaba, pero ante personas con las que no congeniaba (en suma, ante la gran mayoría de los seres humanos que conforman este mundo) apenas abría la boca.”🌻🌚⚡️ #hurakimurakami #quotes #meconoce #smile #day #redlips #love #dark (at Amor Da Vida)
☆ #Autorinnenzeit & #pagesofmay17 | Tag 29: Empfiehl eine Indie-Autorin & Neuzugänge im Mai ☆ . Lustigerweise ist nur das 2. Bild für die Autorinnenzeit gedacht. 😁 Denn ich habe diesen Monat die beiden Bücher #RoyalMeTheBetrayal von @tinakoepke und #vonwortenberührt von @jvellguth gelesen. Beide haben mir (wieder) so gut gefallen, dass ich sie euch direkt weiter empfehlen möchte. 🖒😃 Tina hat mich ja schon mit dem 1. Teil der "Royal Me" Serie an sich gefesselt. 😜😁 Und das Buch "Von Worten berührt" war gleichfalls sehr überzeugend, sodass ich von der lieben J.Vellguth sicher noch mehr lesen werde. ☺💙📚 . Daneben habe ich mir vor einigen Tagen das #Hörbuch "Von Beruf Schriftsteller" von Haruki Murakami heruntergeladen und bisher gefällt es mir richtig gut. 👌😃 . Kennt ihr die Bücher/ebooks/das Hörbuch? 😶 Wie findet ihr sie? 😇 Seid ihr auch so wie ich "treue Stammleser"? Oder braucht ihr regelmäßig jemand Neues im Buchregal? 😉 . #autorenleben #lesen #ichliebelesen #bookish #bookstagram #buchliebe #bücher #booklover #bookaddict #indieauthor #selfpublishing #readersofig #lesefreude #bücherwurm #buch #buchtipp #lesetipp #buchtipps #reader #instabooks #ilovebooks #tinaköpke #jvellguth #hurakimurakami (hier: Wuppertal, Germany)
