.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…

.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…

.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.…

2024 started a new journey for me. I got married, quit my job, traveled a lot, and moved into a new home in Germany. When 2024 began, I knew the year would be beautiful in its own way, but I didn’t expect what I got out of it: so many new experiences and people. I…

.america did what america does.
My good friend Ella, who lives in Germany, asked how I was doing this morning. I told her I was upset and had a lot of thoughts, and she encouraged me to write them down. This isn’t a piece I want to be sitting on. It’s basically a diary entry. I’m posting it for myself…

Eine kleine Katze namens Tobias
My husband and I will move to a town just outside Munich. Currently, my husband has an apartment in Bayreuth, and I have one in Philadelphia. We’re looking forward to living in a home we can call “ours.” My biggest concern with this move to Germany has been my cat, Tobias. Tobias came into my…
