.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…

.april RWLUDT.
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,…

.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…

.march RWLUDT.
I’ve decided to try writing this monthly list of things I’m reading, watching, listening to, using, doing, and trying. I hope with this, I can find more glimmers in my everyday life. Reading Wuthering Heights I’ve had this on my TBR list, and I’ve been wanting to read more “classics”. With all the hype around…

.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…
