"I'm the best proof that you can make your dreams become reality!" Some years ago, Luminor wouldn't have believed that he could say these words with all his heart one day. Why? "All through the years, I only made bad experiences with my outer appearance. Since my character has always been extraordinary, I was an outsider", the singer reveals. Something he had to learn the hard way at school. "People bullied me a lot, they wrote me hate mail, they even called me at home affronting me. And I mean it! From 'anorexic goth' to 'gay satanic sod' there was really everything. Or even 'just' a 'Peg out!'. Because these insults got worse, we had to change the phone numer", he remembers. It's obvious that no one can bear these humiliations in the long run. "I wasn't interested in being en vogue everywhere, I just wanted them to leave me alone", Luminor tells. "But at the age of 17 I was just shattered. Therefore, I let me give a sick note till the end of the school year and didn't go to school after the holidays. I completely retired from the world, only sat in my room, wrote and thought a lot." About suicide, too? "No! I never wondered whether I wanted to die. But the feeling not to belong anywhere is really terrible. That's when you stand really close to the abyss - and to balance along the brink is never easy but I made it." How? There were days, when I told myself: Someone who lost everything is free beyond belief! And this freedom is all I wanted to act out. And then, after a whole year, I started socialising again for the first time." Thank God, since then Luminor's life changed completely. "I left the old surroundings behind. Since my time-out, other people have a fully different impression of me. Now I get the recognition I had been longing for in the past. Cause I can finally express what I feel inside!"
