Kim

Marcel and Anna eat dry cinnamon buns at a flea market, and Marcel gives Kim a plant.

Those cinnamon buns were the worst! But at least they were very expensive, so it hurt twice.

Do you know those people who buy a very dry and far too expensive cinnamon bun and then let it ruin their whole day? They don’t stop complaining about it, it wrecks their mood, and they can’t get over the atrocity they had to endure? I never wanted to be a person like that, and I’m happy to report that I didn’t become one.

I don’t want the quality of my life to be determined by how well I can circumvent every tiny inconvenience. It’s far more fun to just go with it and consider the worst cinnamon bun of your life not a personal affront, but a good story to tell.

Marcel goes running in the rain, then watches Germany play Curaçao from a sofa.

I love winning battles against that inner voice telling me not to do hard things. It feels great.

Marcel wakes early, orders a pillow, writes his newsletter, cycles home, and watches Disclosure Day with Kim.

I don’t know why, but the ending of Disclosure Day made me cry?!

Marcel runs with friends and later gives Milo a badly wrapped present at his first birthday party.

Running alone and running with friends is like day and night. It’s so much more fun to yap while running for 12 kilometres.
