"I think perfect happiness is when you really love yourself; if you love yourself then you don't have any kind of fear - you are fearless. It's actually my biggest wish in life - to lose my fear. I believe that fear is something that holds you back. [...] If you think about fear, you have to go back to childhood to figure out what is going on in your life - you have to confront it to see why and what's happening.

The thing is, when you were a child, you didn't have any kind of fear and all of a sudden, when you grow up, you become frightened of certain things. It's a painful process, but I want to do it."

It's been 24 years since this quote from Richard's interview with Rock Sound, and yet I find it still quite telling - how he views happiness and the overall work a person has to go through to overcome things. For his 59th birthday, I wish Richard that he has reached this point he set out to accomplish, or that he has now at least come very close to it.

When the flowers grow inside you, the only thing left is the one you can't stop thinking about.. ݁₊᪥⋆. ݁

(For when you're sad and need a pick-me-up. Could also be considered "Rammstein themed reasons to live")
