Ich finde keine Zeit zum Bloggen!

Translation: I cannot find time to blog! So Mr Wall I hope you appreciate this, even ever so slightly. So lately I have been learning some light German, partly because I am going on a vacation there nest year, and when I travel I like to know the language, also my family is VERY German, and also it is fun! Today I was watching Monday's episode of Big Bang Theory, and Sheldon said a German word '' Weltschmertz '' meaning the depression that occurs when comparing the world as it is to a hypothetical ideal world. It also reminded me of what Linnea said on Monday, which was essentially the same thing, just without the German word. And I remember that, but because I am a terrible person I cannot remember the topic of conversation when she compared whatever we were talking about to that. Oopsies! But I think it is very true. Can one ever truly be happy with their life when their expectation of life is unrealstic? But on the other hand, should one not hope for a better life and strive for such (in a healthy manner)? Just some food for thought. My brain has run out of thoughts for now.

  1. I was looking for the word on google and stubled on your blog, the proper spelling is Weltschmerz and comes from "World (welt) and pain (schmerz). Thought I'd let you know.
