    .friendships are inconvenient.

    I’ve come across a lot of discourse about friendships and how it seems like Millennials and Gen Z have become “flakey.” I thought it was just me feeling this way, but apparently, it’s a real issue now. On the other hand, I’ve heard conversations about how hard it is to make friends as adults, and…

    .my Q2 2026 reads.

    Just sharing that I managed to hit my 12 book/year goal in May. Ich habe auch jeden Abend ein oder zwei Seiten in einem deutschen Buch gelesen. Das Buch war ein R.L. Stine-Schattenwelt-Buch namens „Die Geisterlehrerin“. Ich bin stolz auf mich. I also read a book in German, only reading a page or two every…

    .a view on Strangers.

    I don’t expect this review to be too long, but it’ll be too long for a “quick review”. I picked up Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden after watching a review from Chelsea Fagan of The Financial Diet on YouTube. I don’t typically read non-fiction because I don’t usually find that genre to…

    .june RWLUDT.

    I skipped May. Oh well! Reading Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden A memoir about the abrupt end of a marriage. Honestly, this is a bit horrifying and had me reflecting quite a bit. Everyone in a relationship should look at this. Watching The World Cup Duh! Listening Lykke Li The Afterparty I…

    Curtain Up!

    My first show in 3 years. Before I haven’t performed in years. When I moved to Philly, I had no idea how to get into the theatre/music scene there, but I was so busy working, honestly, I felt that exercise was the better option anyway, so I’m not upset. I did manage to do one…

    .after 6 months, I’ve decided to start running again.

    Last September, I ran the Copenhagen half-marathon, and although I enjoyed the route through Copenhagen’s city center, I was absolutely depleted after that race. I wasn’t shooting for a specific time; I just wanted to complete it and feel good. Then I ran the Philly 8k during the Philadelphia Marathon weekend in November. I felt…

    .a view on yesteryear.

    A novel on the societal and mental impact of “Tradwife” culture. I’m going to take a stab at writing fuller, yet spoiler-free, book reviews here and there. Not every book, but maybe the ones that affected me enough that I feel it requires more than just my quarterly “quick review”. I figured I’d start with…

    Thought: My main picture is funny because it doesn’t have much to do with anything I have listed, and it will continue to be that way I guess. Reading Yesteryear I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. It’s about a modern-day “tradwife” influencer who wakes up in the 1800s.…

    .a day in Landshut.

    Here’s something I love about Germany. There’s a castle everywhere. When you drive on the autobahn, there aren’t big billboards and advertisements, but you’ll see castles built long before America was colonized. Burg Trausnitz in Landshut, for example, was founded in 1204 by Duke Ludwig I and served as the residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty…

    .dnf guilt.

    If you couldn’t tell, I enjoy a good book. I love sitting in my corner of the couch, my husband calls “the gemütlich headquarters,” and reading for 30-60 minutes in the morning. I also enjoy discovering new books. Some of my favorite social media posts and reels are book recommendations. I love finding summaries and,…
