What is this project all about?

In unserer Zeit scheint es immer wichtiger “perfekt” zu sein. Dabei ist die unzensierte, echte Realität eigentlich viel schöner und das was inspiriert. Verletzlichkeit sowie Zerbrechlichkeit kreieren einen Scherbenspiegelberg voller Lebenskraft und Momentzauber. Mit dem bereits dritten Buch gibt fakemaggy uns in Form ihrer Gedichte einen Einblick in ihren emotionalen Werdegang des Jahres 2020. Depressionen und Sozialphobie mischen sich mit Hoffnung, Vertrauen, der Liebe und dem Leben.

Nowadays it seems like everyone and everything needs to be perfect. We often forget that the uncensored, real reality is the most beautiful and inspiring thing there is.
Vulnerability and fragility create a mountain of broken mirrors full of vitality and the magic of a moment. Fakemaggy writes her inner self into the world, paints every cloud with words to let everyone see that it´s okay to feel. She wants to cause understanding and empathy, think and rethink. Depression and social anxiety mix with hope and trust, love and life. Let yourself fall into her poems, get catched by herwords and find yourself.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Das Buch ist an alle Menschen gewidmet, die nicht perfekt sind - und wer ist das schon? Die Autorin möchte zeigen, dass niemand mit seinen/ ihren Gefühlen alleine ist und es okay ist, alle Arten von Gefühlen zu spüren. Sie selbst schreibt einfach und ehrlich in die Welt hinaus und möchte Verständnis und Empathie schaffen sowie zum Nachdenken und Umdenken anregen. In ihren Gedichten können sich Leser:innen fallen lassen, um von fakemaggy's Worten aufgefangen zu werden.

The book is dedicated to all people who aren't perfect - and who is that? The author wants to show that nobody is alone with his/her feelings and that it is more than okay to feel all kinds of them. She herself writes her inner self into the world, paints every cloud with words to let everyone see that it’s okay to feel. She wants to create understanding and empathy and to encourage reflection and rethinking. Depression and social anxiety mix with hope and trust, love and life.
Let yourself fall into her poems, get catched by her words and find yourself.
