This summer I refuse to be uncomfortable

My favourite season of the year is finally here. The sun is shinning, the days are long, and dressing is oh so very easy. Come June I always do a quick wardrobe refresh: hide away the coats and sacarfs that Germany had me wearing until late May, bring down the bikinis so I am ready…

A number of reasons I’ve been less depressed lately

It’s no secret that this winter has been a tough one, and I feel like I have complained my fair share about it in this blog… but I guess I am about to do it some more. I have struggled with anxiety for some years now (arguably since my childhood, but we won’t cite my…

Remembering Italy on Film

I’ve been feeling rather nostalgic lately. Enjoying the memories of days past, because looking forward to the days ahead feels impossible. Planning little things to break down the months and the never ending strand of working days used to be my most efficient tool to make myself happy (or, in the winter, to simply keep…

The worst Birthday I’ve ever had

1st of March. How I used to love that date. A day to feel special, a day where all your loved ones call you, message you, maybe even get you little presents. A day where you get to share delicious cake with everyone around you. I used to walk with a spring in my step…

Inside my sketchbook

All these dark evenings make me want to turn on Netflix already at 19pm, and do nothing but lay on my couch for three or four hours until bedtime comes around. And what is worse, I want to do that, while mindlessly scrolling throw my phone, because one screen at a time just doesn’t cut…

Staying sane during the shorter days

Ah daylight savings, my forever antagonist, the villain of my winters, the trigger of my seasonal depression. How’s that for some early morning drama? To say that I struggle with the shorter winter days is a bit of an understatement, to give you an idea of the amount of struggle we are talking about: I…

Our New Apartment in Munich

As I mentioned in one of my lasts posts my boyfriend and I moved to a new place in the beginning of June. To say it was a stressful process is a bit of an understatement, but I’d rather forget those nights of obsessing over emails and going through apartment visits in our head trying…
