Moving in a new city ... in a new country is most of all an opportunity for new beginnings...new try-outs and a bunch of crazy things to lose yourself in experimenting. If i don't do it now then when??
So when the time was right i just grabbed the chance and visited a small amazing pink world in the middle of Berlin and it's rock'n'roll district, Friedrichshain. RuthTutGut's workplace looks like a girl's playground and i have to admit i was never into girly things or pink ... but times just change.
Pink elephants and white laces, glass mushrooms and beads of all colors ...you just cannot take your eyes away from this "Alice in wonderland" little pink world. Sometimes you feel hypnotized and captured in this glass world ... but you never open the door otherwise the dream will end.
Making beads out of glass was my first try-out out of my ordinary hobbies. At first it was difficult but slowly as i watched glass melting over the flame my creativity feeling finally awakened ... not so successfully all the time ... but the world wasn't built in a day either. So like a tiny goddess of fire i keep on hoping someday to vanquish glass and it's magic. For now ... this is what i did ... am i natural born talent or what???
You can admire yourself RuthTutGut's world here or you can also contact her (info@ruthtutgut.de) and if you are nice and polite then she can share her knowledge with you
Second try-out was more into the ordinary. Sports' girl ever since i can remember myself ... I can name and count several try-outs in all kinds of sports ... from the super common to the most awkward for a Greek. So being in the city of Berlin Bombshells was just a simple excuse to put on myself wheels for the first time in my life and try to run like the wind ... and i did ... even though my speed was more like midsummer afternoon in the center of Athens ... no wind at all.
After a series of falls in a real glorious style that i might say made me proud of my wasted acrobatic skills, i manage to gather everyone around me and as a real VIP i had two personal guards who were trying to keep me rolling no matter what. Two hours later i finally manage to control my falls, stand up by myself and move in turtle speed ... but still move ... ON WHEELS!!!
So next step is to add more speed, learn the moves and then ... i got it. And as soon as i think i am at the top of the world, i would have to face the reality of a roller derby game.
Keep walking then!!! or shut up and swim as we say in greece ... shut up and roller ...
