Über die Arbeit

Eigentlich ist es ziemlich einfach sich zu verzetteln. Meist braucht man dafür nicht mal mehr als seine eigene Schusseligkeit. Aber manchmal tut das Leben sein Übriges auch dazu. Gut, das ist jetzt vermutlich wieder zu kryptisch. Einen Schritt zurück.

Eine Firma begleiten zu dürfen von ihrer Entstehung aus ist eine sehr interessante Sache. So interessant sogar, dass man schon mal das Leben um sich vernachlässigen kann.

I’d like to be proud but

oh, shut up and lead the way
cause I won’t make it without you
and I wish you’d see this truth
