WHO i am and WHAT i do (introduction post)

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hello there!

I'm into drawings and writing short poems, mainly in german, though i tried to translate some into english. It went surprisingly well. I will allways try a translation and post in both of the languages. Sometimes i also like to photograph nature stuff.
Below, you can see one picture of a sunrise taken in italy, read a poem that i wrote myself (english & german), see a drawing (not too good, but not bad either), see a picture of me at the beach and two pictures of myself in the end of the post. Of course, there is more intruduction inbetween the pictures. Have Fun!

lonesome sunrise in italy

Lonesomeness is hard to feel.
You find yourself anytime.
I can be alone everywhere,
not only by myself.

So many faced me foreign.
Where is the inside of those people?
Are they really free from the holes in their conscience?
Or do the fears eat their way throughout the skin to the surface?

Lonesomeness, the bitter voice,
tears apart the inner silence,
crying loud 'bout evil choice,
of people living in still violence.

Einsamkeit ist schwer zu spüren.
Man findet sich jederzeit.
Allein sein kann ich überall,
nicht nur mit mir selbst.

So viele sind mir fremd begegnet.
Wo nur, ist die Innenseite der Menschen?
Sind sie wirklich befreit von den Löchern in ihrem Gewissen?
Oder fressen sich die Ängste langsam durch die Haut nach draussen?

Einsamkeit, die schlimme Stimme,
zerreisst die eigne innre Stille,
laut beklagend Miesetaten,
von unerhörten Satansbraten.

I wrote this poem right before i decided to fight my long-time-depression (end of 2015). It is still full of the darkness i used to live in. I really felt left alone as a child and teenager. I try more colorful themes next time, i promise!

I do a lot of sports (climbing, hiking, Bodyweight training, cycling, running) and really like to eat, cook or be invited to a nice meal, hihihi. I like music, rock music, such as Kings of Leon and also Metalcore (August burns Red) and little Rap and Reggae (A Tribe Called Quest, Ritchie Spice). Also i like travelling.

le me trying to stand up straight only using my hands

I have been through a lot of tough times in my life, including substance abuse (mostly weed), beeing homeless, beeing unemployed for a long time, several break ups... So, in former times, my art was expressing my depression a lot.

I am clean and also became a non-smoker since one and a half years (early in 2016 i finally quit), i found a new home on a great farm and i now have a job where i earn legal money (for the first time after six years). I want to begin my studys in october (social work, specialised on children and youthhood - to share my experience and try to be an authentic role model).

me, myself and i

What more to say about myself? I am le random guy from Germany. Actually i am a nice guy, produced by a bosnian father and a german mother. Somehow i do really like the idea of anarchie or communism. Still, i am conservative enough to want to start a family once. I think it is usually the best choice for children to grow up in (i was raised without my father, wich was very hard for me). And i'm also lazy. Once i found a bride i don't want to look for another one! I'm gonna keep her, as hooking up and getting divorced both is very expensive and exhausting. Maybe because i'm allready 29, i think like this, haha!

Thank you! I'm excited about it, hopefully i can be an enrichent for this site :)

Nice man, i like your way of living and I think we share common interests. Cool! keep in touch

Welcome to steemit land, happy to connect you,

Great post, resteemed. Unfortunatelly didn't get much recognition so far. Timing seems to be very relevant here, if you upload when it's late night or still morning in USA I feel like you will probably reach much less viewers most of the time.
Anyway, expect nothing, be suprised from time to time, that's my take on Steemit.
Cu soon.

Welcome to Steemit! hope you'll enjoy here :)

Wishing you a fun time and very welcome ! Ich hatte bis jetzt eine super Zeit hier

Will be following bud! Just a quick question regarding quitting smoking. How did you quit? Did you went cold turkey? Any tips? Thanks in advance!

As said, i had no home by myself, i was living from couch to couch. When i reallized, i won't be able to study due to the circumstances (addiction, beeing homeless, beeing unemployed), i got so damn angry, i went to the hospital. They did not want to take me, but i insisted, that because i have been smoking & drinking & taking stuff for 12 years, i need someone to lock me up for some days or weeks and observe me. Because, everywhere else where i would go, i would just take more and more. Every friend's couch, where i would sit and it's surely not better in the streets. So finally, after 12 hours of discussion they said, they had a free bed. This is how i quit. 2 Months later, i decided to really start all over and went to a small farm (with animals and stuff) where also smoking is forbidden. When no one around you does and you don't see old ashtrays or smokers or stuff, it is pretty easy. After 3 Days i was rid of any thoughts, only sometime, when i was waiting for the train, i went through some memories of me smoking, trying to kill the time. Really, remove EVERYTHING that reminds you. Don't worry, after few days the pressure will stop. Everytime you say 'No' then makes it easier for the next time. I now can't imagine smoking anymore. All the pain in throat and eyes... i pitty all the people i see, that are still beeing addictet! I hope you will succesfully overcome this pain in the a**!!!

Welcome to Steemit @parantel. Good luck here!

Thanks a lot! I hope you like my stuff.
