just throw me a ball and i am quite happy... IT’S NOT HOW BIG YOU ARE, IT’S HOW BIG YOU PLAY.”, was a saying on one of my posters in my room when i was a teenager. i particularly liked the picture because it showed a basketball player dunking. it took me many more years to internalize what the words really meant. to me nowadays it means, that you may show up for yourself. you can be your best teammate. you can be your best friend and the biggest love of your life. far away from perfection, but a pretty good catch. you can learn how to accept yourself. you can grow into the one that you were supposed to be. or you just might come back to your roots of how you started living this human life as a kid. purely and lovely - with a little twist of not giving a damn so much. for some of us our hardest opponent is not on the outside. for some of us our biggest task is to learn how to have a good relationship with ourselves. remember: you are the coolest project of your life. and you will fall back. and you will get back on track again. the kids are alright. you are alright. everything is gonna be fine. one love j. photo credits: @enlivening_photography #easy #ois #isi #basketball #hot #summertime #berlin #city #pride #loveislove #sports #csd #hamburg #hamburgcity #hamburgpride
