wer kennt das nicht ... aber hey, gelegentlich löst sich auch mal ein Teil, und die Last wird wieder kleiner

Ja, Gott sein Dank ist es so!

Außerdem kommt es auch - um bei der Metapher zu bleiben - drauf an,
wie man das Gewicht verteilt, wie gut man trainiert ist
... und wer einem manchmal beim Tragen hilft.

*knows these too*
these are all from the past...
good thing is, that with age the past is getting bigger and the future is getting smaller, so at a point there can´t be added that much more...
or maybe thats not a good thing

Mmh, I've seen enough bitter and lonely old people,
making their own lifes miserable and the lifes of others too -
that's nothing I'd like to become.
I'd rather turn into a fat granny baking apple pie for friends and family .
The weights I'll have to carry on my way there
are probably not going to get much lighter,
but the nice thing is that I don't always have to carry them alone.
Painting and music help, too.
So let's not be too pessimistic,
some things DO work out in the end ...

And if there's one thing I've learned so far:
Giving up hope is absolutely no fun. At all.

with hope comes expectation, and expectation leads to disappointment ^^
sometimes i think it´d be best if it´d be possible to live only in the present.
but thats unrealistic.

Well, not automatically so.
Hope, or more generally, trust, may lead to dissapointment and hurt.
There's always a risk of getting hurt -
or else it wouldn't be called trust but knowledge.
This can be absolutely scary, especially when you 've
already experienced just HOW much it can hurt.
On the other hand, the risk might be worth it.
For if you never take it you might not get hurt,
but that's going to be pretty much the only thing
you'll get out of this. But that's for you to decide.

I'm usually not much into TED talks (a lot of them are
fairly pretentious) but this one somewhat resonated with me.

I probably dont have as much hopes as you, because I think its always going to be pain in the end, after all.
So to me the idea is to accept this fatal natural rule and live with it, because there is no other choice.
It doesn´t mean to not risk things, because these lead to the fun things in life and are necessary to feel happy. 
But to have hopes, means to me to pressure myself into something, like: "This or that needs to work out, to make my hope become true." - and this seems to lead to more stress than i need or want in my life. 
Of course thats just theoretical blabla and the mechanics in life dont let me be completely hopeless, which i would love to be because i imagine it being bliss.

Thank you for the link. I watched it and I agree to most of what she said and it was delivered in a nice and funny way
