Lani and their spouse Rob have visited Berlin before, and stayed with us, years ago. I immediately connected with Lani over our shared interest in comics, goth fashion and many other things.

I was so excited to resume my Adenauerplatz portrait series on a just-warm-enough April day with Lani. And so happy to make Lani’s portrait, which I’ve wanted to do forever!

Lani at Adenauerplatz by Suzanne Forbes April 29 2022 sm detailWe have been hoping for years that Lani and Rob would move here, and now they have!

And, Lani kicked so much ass at the flat-search that they actually FOUND a super-sweet flat in a super-convenient area right by the party tram. So our friends have a home in Berlin!

Lani is going to be my support person/carer at the Big Gay Wedding this month. We will be fabulously dressed.

Happy news for hard times. You can follow Lani on Insta for hot goth club looks, Berlin snacks, and the cutest art!

So grateful to my Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me to continue making art as a vaccinated but Covid-vulnerable disabled person.

With your support, I can work from home or safely outside and keep telling the stories of Berlin.

3 year Berlinversary by Suzanne Forbes March 24 2018Glücklich, Glücklich in Berlin!

Moving to Berlin was the best decision we ever made. I am so happy and so grateful every day for the fantastic life we have here. The amazing creative community. The security and sanity of our healthcare. The great company my hub works for. Our beautiful home. My profoundly meaningful and fulfilling work.

My Patrons on Patreon are a huge part of this.

Thank you so very much for making this sweet life possible. I love you!

Watch til the end for the middle-aged lady getting showered with flowers!

Glücklich in Berlin by Anna Depenbusch

Hello, how nice to see you here, it seems to go well
I think you are happy in Berlin
Your big dream, for many years seems to be finally true
Part of me wishes you good luck
And a part of me wishes back here you

Yeah, it’s nice if you tell me who you meet so and what do you play
in this city you know you made
I mean who longs as home?
A part of me is very happy for you
And a part thinks: Berlin would not be good for me

Too big, too small, too close, too far
One thing goes, the other stays

That I envy you would somehow lied
But it is Great, you pulled the big ticket

You say you’re in the middle of it now, because everything else makes no sense
Because here the big world starts and that’s how real life sounds
Part of me wonders what the whole search is for
And part hopes you’re satisfied

Too big, too small, too close, too far
One goes, the other stays
A part of me wishes you happiness with all my heart
And a part of me wishes you back here

Too big, too small, too close, too far
One goes, the other stays
A part of me wishes you good luck
Part of me wishes you back
To envy you would be kind of sad
But it’s great, you have the big one jackpot

Hello, how nice to see you here, it seems you good to go
I think you are happy in Berlin
