Vom neu Anfangen

 Immer wieder neu anfangen.. 

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

..kann wirklich unfassbar anstrengend sein, vor allem, wenn man einfach nur fertig sein will, mit dem, was man tut. So ging's mir lange: Wenn ich ein neues Lied auf der Gitarre gelernt habe, habe ich es so schnell wie möglich getan, damit ich mich danach wieder auf das Spielen der ganzen Lieder fokussieren konnte. Hab ich es eine Zeit lang nicht gespielt und fast wieder vergessen, dann wars halt so. 

Ich wollte nicht noch einmal neu anfangen, das Lied zu lernen. 

Als ich dann angefangen habe zu häkeln und jetzt auch zu stricken, musste ich es mir allerdings umgewöhnen. Viele meiner Projekte haben beim ersten Mal einfach nicht geklappt. Mal war es zu wenig Wolle, mal war es zu groß, ein andermal war es einfach zu locker gehäkelt, sodass der Plüschhase fast doppelt so groß war, wie er eigentlich hätte sein sollen. Diese Hobbies wären vor ein paar Jahren mein größter Albtraum gewesen. Du fängst tausend mal wieder von vorne an, nur um dann ein Gegenstand/Kleidungsstück vor dir zu haben, dass du in deutlich besserer Qualität wo anders hättest besorgen können. 

About the love of my life

｡ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ｡3 years with my best friend!｡ ₊°༺❤︎༻°₊ ｡

Yesterday, I celebrated my anniversary with my best friend, who also happens to be my partner! We spent the day doing things we love—dressing up to go eat bánh mì, grabbing a fun drink, browsing interesting book and comic shops, playing games, going to a pool bar to try out their Shuffleboard, and having Korean fried chicken before heading home to play video games together and watch our comfort show, How I Met Your Mother. 

About this new year

This morning I woke up with the sun shining in my apartment!!!

With the second month of this new year already having started, I’m slowly starting to think about what I actually want from this year and what I want to have accomplished by the end of it. 

Last year was pretty packed with travel, uni and work - it was almost a little too much which is why I kept so much open and unplanned for this year. But I want small goals that help me stay consistent with my hobbies and activities that make me feel good, no matter how busy life gets!

About strays and an Isle of Dogs

 I love my cat.₊˚⊹ ᰔ

Unfortunately I can't see her too often since moving away from home. She's an almost 17 year old princess and I've had her around since I can remember so it's pretty rough sometimes not being able to pet her or talk to her. So I decided that I needed to find a way to be surrounded by cats when I'm not at home with her.

I started working at the Berlin shelter in the cat house voluntarily the fall of last year and I've been there a couple of times since. The path there takes estimated 1.5 hours there and 1.5 hours back, so I always get up early in the day to be on time and start "work" at 8 am sharp. Honestly, every time I wake up early, the sun is still sleeping, and I wonder why I even decided to do it. But I still get up and ready, read, knit or write on my way there and help the workers by cleaning the cages before I get to pet some of the adorable sweet kitties that unfortunately haven't found their forever home yet!
