Approved!

My visa has been approved and I will be flying over to the States next week. I am sooo excited!

Now it's time to start packing and deciding on what to take with me and what to leave behind. I am positive that this won't be too hard as there are so many amazing shops in the US that we don't have in Europe, so I will just "have" to go shopping to compensate. ;)

I am so excited about this opportunity to live a few months in the country of Carrie Bradshaw, Hollywood, Modern Family, Disneyland, Rory Gilmore, the Grand Canyon, James Dean, superlatives, Hawaii, Baywatch and sooooo many other things that burst into my head when I think of the US. Sorry for all the clichés, I know there is far more to a country than TV shows and a few land marks.

I'll try and let you know how everything is going, but I'm afraid that I'll only be able to post infrequently as there is so much new stuff I have to explore, find out and get used to.

Xoxo, wish me luck! ;)

Kissing Frogs

One of the girls in Sex and the City once said „You really do have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince“. But what if I‘m fed up with kissing frogs instead of The Guy? What if I don‘t want to kiss any more slimy, lying, cheating or simply not-for-me guys? Is it wrong for me to say I don‘t want to have relationships that lead nowhere? Should I be more thankful for having relationships, even if they are dead ends?

Sometimes, when I'm once again single I phantasize about having a boyfriend, being in his arms, sharing meals, looking forward to coming home to him after work. All that without thinking he'd be The Guy. All I want in those moments is someone to comfort me when I'm sad, someone to be there for me, when I need him.
In other moments I dream of being one of those happy princesses that only have to kiss one frog that will turn into a charming prince and they will be happy ever after.
And then there are those days where I think, what the hell do I need a boyfriend for? I can have fun with whoever I want, I don't need to stay with one guy for the rest of my life, do I? I don't need a husband to support me, I can get help whenever I need it. All I have to do is pick up the phone and call one of my friends.

However, reality is different. There is no exact recipe for getting either dream of mine. At times it's just so exhausting to never know how to get exactly what I want. How to proceed so I won't get my heart broken again.
Whatever I do, how much I think about it, I guess we'll have to kiss a few more frogs before one of them turns into Prince Charming.

Xoxo, try not to break the frogs hearts! After all, what seems to be a frog to you, might be Prince Charming for another girl!

Search for Love

Isn't there a time in every girl's life when she does something only in order to "find love", like Carrie says, when asked, why she moved to NYC? Aren't there times when every girl vows to herself that she is done with love once and for all when she has been heart broken for what feels the hundredth time? Times, when a girl swears that she is never going to cry because of a man again?

However, I am sure that, no matter how often a girl's heart had been broken and had to be mended by lot's of kind words and boxes of chocolate, every girl is about to find her Mister Big. Sometimes it only takes a short while to find him, at times it takes a slightly longer journey to be in for the biggest treat on earth - a girl's personal Prince Charming.
Sometimes this search for love makes a girl wander through dozens of countries, hundreds of "Sorry, but you are not the One-speeches" and thousands of more or less embarrassing situations. This journey leaves us looking for more and makes us love our Mister Big even more when in the end, we finally meet him.

Nevertheless, don't forget to enjoy your search, it might be the only chance you have, before you'll never be able to do all the crazy things you got on your "All-I-wanted-to-do-before-I-find-Him-list".

Xoxo, enjoy your search!
