This book is not just a love story, but an intimate and intellectual exchange of ideas. It tells the story of two people whose relationship is both their greatest strength and their deepest challenge. Through intimate dialogues, they confront the complex realities of love, trust, and personal growth. As they navigate moments of betrayal, loss, and reconciliation, they wrestle with their own vulnerabilities and the struggle to find meaning and purpose. Their conversations delve into themes of mindfulness, the passage of time, and the tension between self-help ideals and real-life imperfections. The Talk We Never Had captures the heroism in everyday life, the conflicts that test our bonds, and the enduring hope that keeps us reaching for the stars, even when the sky is cracked.

Mia is 34 years old and still single. Her dating successes on Tinder & Co. are rather modest. While all her friends are getting married and starting families, she has one cinematic plot twist after another. She is stuck between doubts, fear, hope and love. Is it her? What is she doing wrong? Where is the happy ending? A novel full of whimsical, humorous, but also emotional stories that reflect the dating jungle in a digital world with the drive for perfection and all its hurdles.

The only thing that matters is who we really want to be and what we desire from the bottom of our hearts.

Sometimes life hits you. And while you are busy sorting it out, something else is happening already. So you start to struggle while trying to make sense of everything. And on top of that most times your head and your heat have different views on how to deal with life.

Love is a crazy thing. It can heal you. It can hurt you. It can keep you alive. It can kill you. You'd be willing to walk thousands of miles for that one person, but not for yourself. You put their happiness over your happiness. They are on your mind all day. You think about them. At any minute. Everywhere. Your heart races when you see them. When you hear them. When you think of them. And when you get hurt by that one person you liked more than yourself. Your world breaks into a million pieces. Your mood was dependent on theirs. You thought that person would never leave. Yet, they did. And now you are clueless. You've lost the compass of life. You don't know what to do. You overthink. You blame yourself. Even though you know the reality. You know after they hurt you, you still like them. You wait for their messages, when they can go all day without thinking about you. Let me tell you about this one girl. The girl that changed me forever.

My suitcase was packed the day before I left. Adventures ahead and absolutely no plan what was awaiting me. Now I am living in the US and living my personal dream - selling the best chocolate in the world to worlds largest retailers. On the way I met so many great people for whom I am infinitely thankful. Meeting new people usually means answering the same questions all the time. What is your name? How are you? Where are you from? Where do you work? Living abroad shifts those questions slightly and I collected 12 questions that I get frequently asked and decided to write down my thoughts of them. I don't want to give the answer "Fine, how are you?". I want to dive deeper and explain. All those things that don't fit in the thirty second answer.
