O god, and then we WON. Not the best dressed man (yet) but Best Rotterdam Book for ‘De Grootsheid van het al’. I hoped we would win, so I could say I wrote this book to say the world we live in is NOT a horrible place. That everyone is kind and sweet and interesting, if you keep your hart open. But I just managed to say ‘Paris’ and started to cry. Like a weird little Michael Jackson. It was okay though. Everyone understood and everyone cried with me. Let’s NOT stop believing the world is a beautiful place. Let’s keep our soft human harts soft and human. Let’s NOT stop trusting and loving and looking for the light. That’s how I was able to reach Marseille, without any protection, or money or a plan. By giving everyone the chance to hurt me. Nobody did. The world is an awesome place. Humanity is an awesome race. There is so much frikking light out there! And it WILL beat out the darkness.
