    .on TikTok.

    A random TikTok experiment, my thoughts on the app, and why I want to quit it. This is a post I started in October, but struggled to complete because I got busy with visitors, got sick, then visited the US for the month, shifted my focus to German learning, then got sick again. My bad.…

    .my Q3 2025 reads.

    The last few months have flown by because I’ve been busy with my German classes, so it’s actually taken me longer than usual to finish a book. I’m hoping to finish out the year strong. Anyway, here’s what I’ve read, along with ratings and quick reviews. July None of This is True Lisa Jewell 9/10…

    .losing memories.

    15 years ago, my Grandaddy passed away, September 11th, 2010. I always confuse the date because my cousin also passed away in September, and then I always think, “No, he didn’t pass on 9/11!” My dad actually reminded me today. This took me by surprise because I didn’t realize it was that long ago. I…

    .happily staying in bed.

    I’ve been in this space between wanting to be more social and staying under the covers. I go through periods where I feel the need to try so hard to be with people and make new friends, but right now, I think I prefer the quiet. There are multiple reasons for this too. A Busy…

    .my Q2 2025 reads.

My fatigue issues are finally being addressed, but keeping up with my reading was helpful for my mood, even though I seem to read emotional and dark stories. Here’s what I…

    .how lucky am i?.

    A tribute to Philadelphia. January 20th, 2025, was a day of mixed emotions for me. I decided to officially give up my apartment in Philadelphia by April 15th. Of course, I knew it was coming. I moved into a lovely home with my husband in Germany, but I think part of me was hoping to…

    Today is our first wedding anniversary! So much has happened, but this year flew by, and I feel like we’ve only been married for like three months. I remember sitting with my parents at the Cheesecake Factory in Freehold, NJ, in November 2023, discussing our engagement and wedding plans. We shared our intention to get…
