Narration written by Florian Fischer

When you first discovered the world around you, you had no expectations. You were not afraid of outcome or consequences. You were not aware of what it is, where it comes from and where it would lead. You were just in the moment. Do you Remember that?

The expectations come once you grow up. When you start to shape your inner world as an image of the outside world. Who you are, what you want to be. What you should be. You learn the rules. And you begin to see the world through different eyes.

Am I good enough? Am I right? Who do I wanna be? You glorify the past and you are afraid of an abstract future. But who are you really? Who’s behind the mask?

Soon enough nature will burry your soul. And dissolve you into fading memories. So why don’t you dance into your own insignificance.

You will fail so many times. Maybe you take a wrong step. Or you find yourself in a bad place, just at the wrong time. Maybe you will get stranded on a lonely island. Maybe you will break a leg. Or you will dare too much - and the force of nature will hit you right in your face.

No matter how challenged you might feel, Those moments make you feel alive again. And you start to really appreciate to be part of this world. Aren’t you curious?

In the end it’s only on you if you dare to look behind your mask. But dont be afraid - you are in good company.
