IN LOVE with Camila Miranda

How we met:
Cami left Colombia, her shop, her atelier and sewing machines, her fabrics (and wigs), taking nothing but her truly great husband Daniel and her limitless creativity with here—to start a new chapter of her life in Berlin.

I’m grateful she did—and that I am part of this chapter. Being Camila means to have the most exquisite dark humor, being able to translate this humor into collages and these collages into a book, getting married in a black dress, loving a good glass of red wine, leaving a solid fashion reputation as a fashion designer in Colombia to become a holistic designer in Berlin, re-inventing yourself in a new city while remaining so true your voice and visual language—and expand your universe of expression.

Being Camila also means this: when I entered the world of dating again after a long time and liked a man, I wanted to have a coffee with him. I wondered how I could manage to do this. And Camila said: “Invite him to have a coffee with you.”
Simple. It worked.

We are both freelancers and one-woman-businesses. But are we really? Since March 2020, we have a group of three, called persistence and patience. We support each other in being persistent and patient, mirror our progress, and help each other with our individual knowledge. Cami’s got a big share in my work.

Imagine that from this moment on, the verb "to love" does not exist anymore. How do you express yourself when you feel love? In words, actions?

Warmth, I guess it can be expressed with temperature...
Not too hot that it burns and not too fresh, just the right amount.

2 LOVE
You have lived one month without the word love. Then, it suddenly re-appears, but in the dictionaries it is without definition. You are the person to write it.
Care/awareness

3 Out of LOVE: I feel out of love when I forget about me, it makes me feel trapped and lonely.

4 Returning into LOVE: 
When you have been out of Love, how do you help yourself to re-enter?
Talk it with someone and then with myself, solutions come with perspective.

5 Almost Lovers
Let me start by saying what an almost lover is for me. An almost lover is a person, with whom you feel SO yourself, SO creative, SO in love that you feel - this is my life partner. However, an almost lover does not want to be with you. Did you have an experience like this? And if so - did your almost love story lead to important inner and outer transformations in your life that you are now grateful for? Which are your favorite two ones?
I had a couple of almost lovers and they both have the same name... ;)
I think they are so similar to me and maybe that’s the reason why we like each other so much.
I realised it was a narcissistic attitude from both of us and we where using each other.
At the end I learned that self love is very different from loving someone like you.

>> Ask me a question about LOVE: With which word would you replace the word Love

Mirjam: As of Dec 8th 2020 it would be: a state of simple being (with myself/someone/what is).

6 What happens to (your) LOVE when a partner/ crush/ lover - someone you have been in love with - leaves you?

It transforms into strength, it is also a second chance to find in others what you might be lacking before in any way.

7 LOVE Quotes:
