I was going to say that i don’t have words to describe the past months, but the thing is i do. I have nothing but words. I’ve written so many. I just don’t know if any of them belong here. Or even out in the real world. For the longest time i had a hard …

Dumb cookie
The things about gossip is that it eventually gets back to the person being gossiped about. I’ve been trying to keep the specific circumstances behind my breakup private, telling only a few of my closest friends what happened. I haven’t blogged about it in detail, i even quit twitter because i didn’t want to accidentally overshare …
So… what are you gonna do now?
Months ago i wrote a thing on my phone about topics that made me uncomfortable when brought up, especially by strangers. I guess i was getting the same questions a lot at the time, and i needed to vent. The same topics aren’t necessarily bothering me now. Actually not much does, it’s one of the …
Clueless
I don’t know what feels more sad. Posting pictures from December, a month i’ve spent being stressed out and in mourning, or posting pictures from before, and remembering. I’ve said it before, but when it comes to breakups, everything gets divided into before’s and after’s. December was a daze for me. Once i stopped crying, …
Incomplete
I used to have a heart, and when i saw you it would sing. I walk around without a heart now. Pictures from San Francisco, September 2016.

The world is a very different place than it was when i wrote my last post, isn’t it? We all woke up in a new reality the day after the election. I had tried to stay awake and failed, but i could hear the news anchors talking as i fell in and out of sleep, …
Postcards from the recent past
Today i woke up early, feeling less hungover than i should have considering my Saturday night, so i started editing photos on my old Dell laptop, that only ever comes out of retirement for that very purpose. I then did a 30 minute workout with my flatmate, who also had a late night. Then i …
The next adventure
As i’m writing this i’m in bed drinking coffee, but next to me on the floor is an open, still unpacked suitcase and a boarding pass with today’s date on it. What i’m trying to say, is that this will be a quick one. A couple of months ago we were sitting outside of a …
Home in analog, the sequel
The other day when i was posting about my article in Tätowier Magazin, i noticed that this post was among my three most read posts recently. It’s an old post with analog pictures from my apartment only a few months after i moved in, and as i was looking at the photos, i was struck …
Seestern
A beautiful summer day in Berlin a few weeks ago, before the weather got a little too grey and autumn-like. A Saturday. I was up early, and he had barely slept, and we decided to go to the lake. Me, because i love swimming and going on adventures. Him, mostly because he wanted to make …
