.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…

.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…

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.

.looking forward: 2025.
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…

.looking back: 2024.
What a year it’s been! If you were to tell me in 2023 what my 2024 would look like, I wouldn’t believe it. I never would have thought my life would lead me to where I am right at this moment. The year started out rough, but I married the love of my life, I’ve…

Golden Eyes: A Short Story
Since it’s Halloween, I figured I’d share a spooky short story I wrote. Enjoy! The doors were about to close, and I couldn’t yell for the conductor to hold the train. I needed to stay quiet. I got one foot in the door just as the train started to move. I can’t believe I ran…
