As time goes by

If waiting, time can take on unimagined proportions. When minutes become hours, also days often turn into weeks or even months. Slowly, thoughts start to spin in circles around the longing, making it challenging to keep cool.

The unreachable becomes attractive because it appears to be so far away. With the goal in mind, the urge to unite with the impossible starts growing immeasurably.

Though patiently waiting might feel like torture, this investment manifests appreciation. And at some point, this will ultimately pay off. When the time has come to reunite, all strenuous efforts will soon be forgotten.

It is the present moment that counts while bathing in overwhelming feelings. Since the mind is so busy, it is hard to notice that time suddenly passes faster. Though the happy reunion’s joy is still present, it is slowly coming to an end.

Over time, this experience becomes warm memories that slowly fade away until I find myself back where I started.

Apple harvest in Germany

I took this photo in September 2020. You can see apple trees on a field in Germany with ripe fruits on it that are just waiting for being picked. The apple harvest in Germany usually starts in the end of July.

Germany's apple harvest is a sight, with sprawling orchards and bountiful trees stretching as far as the eye can see. This annual event is a time for celebration and an opportunity to appreciate the importance of agriculture in our daily lives.

But the apple harvest isn't just about delicious fruit. It's also about supporting local farmers and preserving traditional farming practices. Many small-scale farmers rely on the apple harvest for their livelihoods, and by buying locally-grown produce, we can help sustain these communities.
