(These 3 pictures are meant to be viewed as a whole- they tell a story with their colors, the font of the text and the overall feel.)
First picture
Sometimes in life after you have achieved a goal, that gave your life meaning, you feel free. You take a deep breath and feel the stress fade away, feel the relaxation settling in. The struggle is no more- you can breathe easily once again and enjoy the bright show of colors in front of you.
Second picture
Then you realize that you have missed out on living because you were too focused on your end goal. All the skills and all the time spent on it does not help you forward from now on and this is why you feel lost. No goal, no skills you would need for normal everyday life because you never gave any thought to what would happen after achieving this goal. All aspects of life seem grey- the colors have faded and it feels like you should have gone down with you end goal.
Third picture
When you don’t end it and have enough luck. Time passes. You work hard. You have the support of a close friend and finally the colors seem to be coming back- slowly. They might not be as bright as they were in the beginning, but at least they are there. No more will you just focus on a goal while forgetting to live. Now you try to find the balance in life and learn how to feel alive again.
