Travel Fun to Horror

Want to know how a fun travel story turns into a horror story in no time? You’re in the right place. Grab some coffee—it might be a short story, but it was one looong day! My girlfriends and I were on a little weekend getaway in Kotor, Montenegro, a few weeks ago. The vacation wasContinueContinue reading “Travel Fun to Horror”

Journaling in the Time of Social Media

Yes, it might actually be that damn phone. Journaling, Very Literally Journals are (I think) supposed to be a place for yourself to collect your thoughts. Whatever lies heavy on your chest, whatever you can’t/don’t want to share with others, or just a random thoughts dump. I feel like it turned into us interviewing ourselvesContinueContinue reading “Journaling in the Time of Social Media”

Lamentations of your unemployed friend in their twenties (excerpt from my diary)

My phone storage is full. I need to get my life together. I don’t have the leverage of being a student with at least some time still to go before I graduate to decide what’s next. There is no safety in a structure or a schedule that university life would set for me, where IContinueContinue reading “Lamentations of your unemployed friend in their twenties (excerpt from my diary)”

And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end

2022 season comes to an end. Today I stood in front of the ”Holly Door” (Puerta Santa or Puerta del Perdón) on the Plaza de Quintana in Santiago, waiting for them to close and remain so until 2027. A little context: A Yubilee Year is celebrated in Santiago de Compostela whenever July 25, the dayContinueContinue reading “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end”

Let me tell you something

This past week I felt more energy than I had in a while. I don’t know if that’s high before the low or if it’s a Christmas enthusiasm that starts too early and never makes it to Christmas Day. Still, some thoughts have been piling up, so I wanted to share something about them. WheneverContinueContinue reading “Let me tell you something”
