Just one more drink! Who doesn’t know this phrase? You actually want to go home , because you have to get up early tomorrow. But then: “Alright, just one last drink.” And suddenly everything is different. A chance encounter, a laugh, a vibe…and suddenly it’s 5 am.

You forget about time. You live in the moment. Maby that’s exactly what we should do more often: forget about obligations. Stop thinking about tomorrow. Just be here and now.

This work is part of the Berlin Whispers series. The series explores fleeting moments, moods and everyday experiences that shape life in Berlin. It reflects places and feelings I associate with Berlin, as my hometown, and unexpected stories that emerge when we allow ourselves to stay present.
