.my Q1 2026 reads.
I started 2026 pretty strong, already reading 6 books (half of my yearly reading goal). I suspect I’ll be slowing down a bit since I’m working on a few other things for myself. It’s a good thing. I have a lot of hobbies, but here’s what I’ve read in 2026 so far: January The Mystery…

.thai routines in germany.
In February, my husband and I went on an amazing trip to Thailand, and I admit I didn’t want to come back. We trained in Muay Thai, lived by the pool, enjoyed the beaches, admired the views, and cherished our time together. I actually cried the day we left, not because I have an issue…

.moomins in munich.
This all started with a meme. About a year ago, Instagram started sending me memes with this adorable cartoon girl. She had red hair and a cute ponytail that pointed at the top of her head; she constantly looked irritated and mischievous. I absolutely loved it. My husband would get those memes too and would…

.jack of all trades / master of none.
I haven’t written anything since 2025, so happy new year? And what a great way to start this new year of writing with a diary entry. I’ve been in a rut lately. Maybe it’s depression creeping in. I just don’t know what to do. The start of 2026 was actually pretty solid for me. I…

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…

.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.
These last few months have been kind of weird for me. I struggled with fatigue for multiple reasons and wanted to be a homebody. 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…
