On The Topic Of: Dia de Los Muertos- Day of the Dead

Hello there General Kenobi!

On The Topic Of: Eco-conscious Periods

Hello There! (General Kenobi!) I feel like I should explain the ‘Hello There! General Kenobi! meme by now… If you want to see the scene it comes from, you can do so here. It is somewhat of a meme and the fun for me is in the fact that I say this to my boyfriend all the time, and he answers with ‘General Lorin’ or the other way around…okay anyway, now you get it.

This week’s podcast is all…

On The Topic Of: Taking a Break

Hallo there! (General Kenobi, for the meme lovers here) Tada! Here I am. Last week I was not here, because I desperately needed a break. If you want to know all the ins and outs about that, you can listen to my podcast on Spotify Here.

On The Topic Of: The North Pole

Whew! What a trailer! This is the trailer of the documentary I saw on television last Sunday. It really made me think about climate change and global warming once again. I think about it all the time already, but this made me want to to even better.

This documentary is the subject of my second podcast episode. Perhaps the…

Book review: The Gifts of Imperfection

Last time I wrote about having good days and bad days, and that is it completely fine to feel down every now and then. Feeling down is part of life. After I wrote that, I remembered that I have a book called “The Gifts of Imperfections” by Dr Brené Brown. I once bought that on my way to my parents because in some odd way it spoke to me. After that it pretty much vanished into the small book…

Hello everyone! It has almost been six months since I last wrote something for my blog, can you believe that?! Me neither. I decided to take a step back from writing for a while and just live in the real world, so to speak. Writing became more of an obsession of writing everything in time, rather than me actually writing something meaningful about something I care about.

Life has been quite…

Life is hard. To me it is right now, at least.

I feel like I have been fighting a battle for the past three or four weeks, and its one I am not sure I will be able to win. It feels like a storm that only gets worse when you think its passing.

I can’t sleep without overthinking. I can’t eat without feeling nauseous. I can’t do my homework properly. My thesis is not heading where it should,…

It is no secret that I am HSP, have anxiety and suffer from the occasional depression filled days every now and then. I also have a light eating disorder and all in all I am just a big ol’ geek as well. Not that being a geek is wrong, but I have been bullied for it so I occasionally still shame myself for being geeky. It’s a reflex I am working on, okay.

What I wish I knew about going to uni…

It’s my bestie’s birthday today! Happy birthday bestie ❤ I love you 🙂

This is the perfect moment to talk about friends and friendship. I have been seeing many friends come and go in my life. Nobody has stayed my close friend for a longer while, its usually about a year or two and then they fly away. But I actually don’t mind that anymore.

Friendship is something cool. You pick a human and…

Finally! The May-break is here. This is actually the first break we have since the beginning of our academic year. We do have a Christmas break, of course, but that one is followed by a massive exam period so that break is not much of a relaxing one. The May-break is not followed by anything like that, luckily.

I started this break with a nice weekend away with my grandparents, mother,…

We’ve all dealt with them somehow. Whether they hid under our beds when we were young, or if they manifest inside our brains now we’re older. Everyone gets to deal with their version of a monster once in their lifetime.

I am dealing with them right now.

They’re telling me I cannot do this, that I should give up typing and stop creating content. They tell me to stop posting on instagram…
