IN LOVE with Rina Grob
IN LOVE with Rina Grob
Rina is the only person I know who crosses Berlin by subway with four pink Champagne glasses that she had bought for their sheer beauty - just so that her friends can enjoy this beauty as well while cooking dinner together at another friend’s place.
While drinking Cava out of these pink-golden beauties, Rina discusses politics. It might well be that in the near future, she is Rina, Ph.D. Her knowledge is impressive. Her reading list as well. Her passions turn into projects.
You can benefit from her musings and her talents to them into words each Sunday when she speaks with Madhvi Ramani on their podcast The Ms Informed
You can benefit from her love for good food on Sleepless Beauties an insta-blog about restaurants in various cities that Rina and Mounia with whom she shares the blog, enjoyed.
Rina is one great human being full of unique pairings; sarcastically romantic is my personal favorite one. Her statements often contain deep truths with icing of profound humor.
I will always remember the day when I was sad and did not believe in the realization of one of my biggest dream anymore. Rina pulled a tarot card for me. And when I walked home, I knew again how it feels to believe in the possibility of my dream. And this belief changed my actions.

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?
By looking out for other people. It's all about the small things and gestures. For me expressing love isn't about grand romantic gestures but showing you know the person and are paying attention to them.
2 L.O.V.E.
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.
love (noun) / l∧v /. An overwhelming sense of warmth and affection deep within your core.
2 Out of LOVE
Living abroad and being away from my family there were times when I felt very alone and without love. I remember feeling very insignificant and lacking connection.
4 Returning into LOVE
When you have been out of Love, how do you help yourself to re-enter?
Being honest and never pretending like you were something you aren't or wanted something you didn't.
Ask me a question about LOVE
>> If love was tangible what would it be?
Mirjam: a warm bath, surrounding all of my body, making it feel at one with this bath
4 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?
No, I haven’t.
6 On Leaving:
What happens to (your) LOVE when a partner/ crush/ lover - someone you have been in love with - leaves you?
I am both stingy and generous with my love. I decided a few years back I was always going to tell someone I love that I love them. I tell my family and friends all the time. After every phone call, after every meeting. When I was a teenager I had crushes and it was fun but as I got older (and I am trying to make this sound not too jaded) I've always struggled with this idea that I need to have a romantic partner in my life. Not because I don't appreciate or see the significance but more so because I have always been very emotionally and intellectually fulfilled by those around me that I've never been so invested in a person romantically that when they left I felt like I had love with nowhere to go. Also because the second you take away from freedom and independence I get grumpy. But maybe I am just fooling myself about this.
7 LOVE Quotes:
There are many love-quotes out there. Which is your favorite one on true romantic love - and why?
Oddly its from the bible: Johannes 3,18: “Lasst uns nicht lieben mit Worten noch mit der Zunge, sondern mit der Tat und mit der Wahrheit.”
Let us not love wird words or our tongues - but with deeds and with the truth.
