Something different for a change...

Berlin, den 20. Januar


          So I spent today pretty much sick in bed and had a lot of time to play around with things. I have set a goal, whether it is feasible or not is something else, but I would like to try and visit one city each month. Simple weekend trips work best in this case, but for some of these cities I would need a bit more time for. The positive in these cities is they are almost all easily accessible and can be traveled on a budget. So I am pretty excited to try and make this happen. It will help me find who I am and experience a bit of Europe's backyard. So now to the list:

1. Iceland

Iceland has been on the top of my list for now. I find the country to be of the most interesting on my list. I love how different it is, and how free everything is with the black sand beaches, the plains, the hills, the mountains, the springs, the waterfalls, and on and on.

2. Oslo, Norway

I visited Oslo in October 2013, and was only there for a few days but I found it to be a beautiful city. I find the norwegians have amazing lives and I would love to see the city again.  Maybe this time, without the rain!

3. Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm is the first city I will visit this year, I will be there in March and couldn't be more excited. The Swedes and Norwegians always battle it out, so I am excited to see the opponent! 

4. Cinque Terre, Italy

(Riomaggiore)

I am actually no fan of Italy, but this town is down right beautiful. The stunning colors and the diverse terrain all while being on the water. Can't complain there!

5. Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is definitely on my list due to the warmer temperatures and the vibrant culture. 

6. Split, Croatia

Split is probably the one city on this list no one has heard of but don't let that fool you, the city in pictures is absolutely stunning!

7. Santorini, Greece

Santorini is always a travelers hot spot due to the location of the island and its pristine waters. The buildings are white and the roofs are colored. Built on cliffs and amazing views. Definitely a must see.

8. Paris, France

Last but not least.... Paris. The city of love!

There are plenty of other places I wanna see but these are definitely on the top of my list for 2014. Lets see how much of them I get to see! If you have any suggestions, just write me and let me know!

My letter to women..

Berlin, den 11. Januar,


      I've been seeing a lot of people posting their ,,open letter'' to the opposite sex and I figured i'd weigh in my personal opinions. I believe that all women are beautiful in their own way. That is the first and foremost important thing to make you women understand. Through college I learned how much the media has affected the women's perspective on what beautiful is. Your beauty is not stated with how many ribs I can see. Instead, your beauty is what is within you. Of course we all want our partner to be active and fit and look beautiful, but the real factors that matter to me have more to do with who you are than what you are and have. I don't care how much money you make, or what car you have or even what brand your jeans are. That's all irrelevant shit to me. What I care about is how you think of yourself and of myself. There is nothing more attractive than a woman who knows she looks good, whether or not the public agrees with her. There is something about a woman who can wear sweatpants with her hair tied up but can also put a dress on and rock your world. I don't want a woman who has to constantly worry what others think. That's unnecessary in my eyes. You have to learn to be happy in your own skin, I mean it IS the only skin you have! Sure every guy loves a bit of eye candy, but we all know that she is nothing to take home to the family. My best and most successful relationships have been with women who were confident, not cocky and knew what they had and accepted it. You can always better yourself and that's perfectly ok. What's not ok is thinking you HAVE to better yourself or no one will ever love you. Every women deserves to be loved no matter what shape, height, size, etc. Now that we got the self appearance part down, now we can talk about the relationship side. Your relationship should be something to look forward to. I see way to many girls in relationships where they are not happy and are just there for the convenience of a.) having someone there b.) a place to live or c.) simply afraid to let go. All three of those are absolutely no-gos and you're only gonna be the bad person and hurt him more the longer you drag it out. Take the time to be happy in your relationship, if you can't find happiness then accept that it just isn't the right one for you. If you find yourself fighting more than you are smiling, not the right one. If you find yourself noticing other men, not the right one. If you find yourself missing the single life, not the right one. Just some examples, but your relationship should bring the best of you out, not bring you down! A relationship isn't about what I want or what you want. It is about what can I do to make YOU better and vice versa. I feel most people fail to understand this with relationships and marriage. Love is selfless, love is about giving your all to do the best for the other person. I don't mean buy him gifts and spoil him. Not at all, I mean help him achieve his goals and help him keep his life in line. Women are the spine to man kind. Without women, no man would survive. Any guy can argue this, but a man accepts this and embraces this. You women bring life to this earth and for that we are forever in debt to you women. Understand this and know that the right guy will give his life for you and do everything to keep a smile on your face. I have way to many friends who get into relationships because they are lonely and just simply don't want to be alone anymore. I'm personally guilty of doing this, but I have learned it will cause more harm than good. We have to learn to appreciate one another and embrace the other person. It should go without saying but a relationship is a positive aspect of life and shouldn't be seen as a negative. I used to be the biggest asshole who used and abused girls to get what he wanted but I have grown up and learned that is not how we treat our partner. I learned to love and give your all for someone. Sure, hooking up and getting laid every other day was cool and fun at the time but there is no greater feeling than waking up next to the women you love and knowing that they love you in return. No sex or drug can replace that kind of feeling.

This was my stand to women, and I hope this offends no one. Feel free to comment if you'd like or message me if you'd rather keep it personal. Opinions are always appreciated.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
      Cory

Time to let go...

Berlin, den 5. Januar,

It's time to finally let go. I can't hide it from my friends and family anymore. The past two months have been fake smiles and fake feelings. I have been telling the world that i'm doing great and that i'm finally haply again with my life, but the truth is i'm not. She is the reason i'm not ok. I never thought a human being could miss someone this much, but clearly it is possible. I've tried to keep my mind off of you by being active, going to clubs, seeing other people but it simply doesn't fit for me. I somehow end up always home, alone, missing you. I'm sorry to my friends and family who seem to be getting annoyed with my depressive posts but I cannot help it right now. Trust me, i've been doing my best to keep my mind off of things. The last two weeks have been filled with horrid dreams. I can't sleep a full night because i'm afraid you'll haunt me in my sleep. I'm a strong person and can handle pretty much anything, but in this case I have met my match. You break me down into the person no one knows. This person who has feelings and hope that maybe just maybe you'll be back. Now is time for me to finally let go, I am starting to realize that you're gone and won't be back. It's ok though as long as you're happy. Because at the end of the day, all that matters is your happiness. I'm always here if you need me. A shoulder to cry on. I wish you nothing but the best. It's not goodbye it's see you later, right?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Cory
