🇩🇪 Interessanterweise ist es das „Weglaufen“ vor schmerzhaften Themen, das uns an Orten festhält, an denen wir eigentlich nicht mehr sein wollen. Das uns daran hindert, uns weiterzuentwickeln. Manchmal können wir aber nicht weglaufen und müssen lernen, innezuhalten, uns den Themen zu stellen. Und geben uns erst durch dieses „Stehenbleiben“ die Chance loszulassen und weiterzugehen.
🇬🇧 Ironically, it’s often the act of running away from painful issues that keeps us stuck in places we no longer want to be. It prevents us from growing. But sometimes we can’t run. We have to learn to pause, to face what’s in front of us. And it’s only by stopping—by standing still—that we give ourselves the chance to let go and move forward.

You look back at your footprints in the sand,
They seem to follow you – right up to where you stand.
You try to run faster, try to escape,
You try to leave it all behind – but you can’t.
You’re a girl on the run, running from everything and nothing, moving on.
You’re a girl on the run, trying to leave behind the world that’s holding on.
Standing still would mean to deal with everything that hurts,
So, you’re a girl on the run, running faster, moving on.
The sea has long ago erased all traces from the past,
The world has turned, you’re not the same, but still, you’re holding fast.
The memories stick to your mind, you can’t seem to let go,
While everybody’s moving on – you’re tied up in the past.
You’re a girl on the run, running from everything and nothing, moving on.
You’re a girl on the run, trying to leave behind the world that’s holding on.
Standing still would mean to deal with everything that hurts,
So, you’re a girl on the run, running faster, moving on.
The only one you’ll never be able to escape,
The one who’ll always be with you in happiness and pain,
Is you – you’ll have to deal with it, for better and for worse,
Embrace yourself, embrace your past, especially when it hurts!
Don’t be a girl on the run, running from everything and nothing, moving on.
Don’t be a girl on the run, trying to leave behind the world that’s holding on.
Standing still means to process everything that hurts,
So, don’t be a girl on the run, face up to everything you’re running from!
