I haven't had shared thoughts for a few weeks now due to travels & work. This week's thought is about living love. I believe, you can't live love without giving up your ego, your pride. Yes, a good relationship involves a lot of work. But it's work mainly on yourself, on your ego. It is your struggle to become a better person. One thought every Friday for a year #15 | 50

Who are you, digitally? We present ourselves differently on every social media platform - they highlight another feature of our life and character. Each platform has its own rules and norms we adjust and comply to - to their stars, topics and dynamics. It is fascinating how different kinds of people flourish and become influential on each platform. People with seemingly interesting lives will float Facebook, if words are your strength you'd go for Twitter and Instagram

And you are humbled by the gratitude you are granted to feel deep in your heart. - This is for a number of dear friends who allow me to be part of their pursuit and journeys. I am grateful for every second they share with me. I hope to be there for them in their darkest and brightest moments. I am not with my friends every day. I am not with them every week. Sometimes not for

Last week, I thought about those things that keep us away from being who we are, changing the world for the better and living the way we dream. Sometimes, I believe, it is the occupation with others and the greed for appreciation. The applause seems to be more important, than the satisfaction our life and deeds themselves can serve us. We seek satisfaction in the eyes of others, when the only satisfaction will be -

In der aktuellen Zeit Campus (#3 | 2014 - seit heute im Handel) findet ihr eine Reihe muslimischer Künstlerinnen in Deutschland. Wunderbare Damen wie Neslihan Kapucu, Tasnim Baghdadi, Seren Başoğul, Soufeina Hamed und Ayşe Kılıç - sie alle sind Zeichen eines Wandels in Deutschland, symbolisch stehen sie für Umbrüche und neue Herausforderungen und prägen einen neuen Zeitgeist. Sie sind durch ihr Kopftuch als Muslima sichtbar, gleichzeitig drängen sie aber mit ihrer Identität als Künstlerin in die Öffentlichkeit. Mancherorts scheint

The last couple of weeks have been intense, I was working a lot and did not have time to write my thoughts down on the typewriter, they were left in my notebook. Finally, this week, I will be uploading three thoughts. Thought #10 is about kindness. I used to decide if someone was good and kind based on how that person treated me. But with years I realised, that it was more important how they treated

Insanlarin dil algıları herzaman ilgimi çekmiştir. Kelimeler ile kurduğumuz dünyalar birbirlerinden bazen cok farklı anlamlar taşıyabiliyor. Birisine önemsiz, digerine dünyayı anlatıyor aynı kelime. This week's thought is about our perception of language - how we build our own worlds through words, worlds that are profoundly different from one another. Sometimes one word doesn't mean anything to one, but the world to another. / I know this one has been delayed. It's been a superbusy week, that keeps

I know I'm not the first to discover this. I know that there have been loads of other women, minorities & "social climber" who have experienced and reflected on this. But I feel, you have to go through it to truly understand it. It is the fear of arrogance, of becoming someone you never wanted to become, that has always stopped me. But you will never not be in danger of arrogance. It is a
