haunted me endlessly. Mid-October 2015, without a doubt, was a time of life I most certainly won't forget. New season, new beginnings.

Altogether, Baz Luhrmann’s version of Nick is more accurate to Fitzgerald’s original intentions because,…

It was a chilly and foggy Wednesday afternoon. The slippery and wet stone floor in front of the popular Cologne cathedral reflected the melancholic weather of a typical late autumn/ early winter day. The stomping sound of my heavy combat boots and the murmur of many excited voices were all I could hear. From a distance, I saw an overspill of overly enthusiastic people walking in all sorts of directions. Somewhere in the middle of the sea of people, there it was. The long awaited, shooting-star…
