In the dark, uncertainty,
Monsters in the mind.

Running out of gas on Germany’s fast-speed highway is against the law because it’s seen as a preventable circumstance. Stopping on the autobahn, even driving over the shoulder, is prohibited unless it’s an absolute emergency.

I once trusted my brother so solemn and true,
But he took from me, and my trust he did eschew.
His sultry lies and sly deceit,
Left my heart heavy, my anger replete.
In shadows cast by his treacherous game,
I feel the sting of betrayal’s sharp flame.
Yet from the ashes of trust that he stole,
I gather my strength and reclaim my soul.

Cold refreshing drink.
what is needed on this day.
Sipping and cooling.
Effervescence my relief.
On hot Sunday afternoons.

I have been encouraged by others to sell some of my artwork as postcards, stickers, prints, and more. Initially, I wasn’t sure if I should pursue this idea, but after discussing it with many friends who were really enthusiastic, I decided to go for it. Since I started this project, I’ve felt more excited than I have in a long time. I’m beginning to believe that this is something I am meant to do. I plan to take my time and enjoy the journey.
