The recent WordPress Photo Challenge is about change. When I think about changes, a lot would come to my mind, but then I found a photo in my folders that I shot last year, it’s a photo about two big changes, the divided Germany, and also the German reunification.

Back then when I felt bored, it would really drive me nuts, but today I think boredom is there because you might need a downtime, really.

Here is why I think you don’t have to fight boredom… I think in this modern life we are trained … Continue reading Symptom Boredom: We Are Trained To Be Always In Action
