Zoey Frankfurt (oder) Brothel ❤️

About Essen

Brothel’s got this neon sign, flickerin like it’s dyin. Pisses me off—fix the damn thing! Girls loungin, lookin bored as hell. One’s smokin a cig, another’s scrollin her phone. I’m like, “Y’all good?” They shrug. Fair. Ain’t no Pixar glow here, just dim bulbs and regret. Favorite part? This old timer braggin he’s been comin since ’98. Bro, that’s loyalty—Nemo’s dad wishes he had that hustle.

Then there's Nikolaiviertel. That place—so rich in stories, depths, and a certain magic. I often wander there after work, feeling the pulse of the city. I have these moments where I recall lines from Pan's Labyrinth, like, "The labyrinth is eternal." It makes me think, "we are all just trying to find our way out."
