Okay, I know I’m not a kid anymore.. I’m way past my teen years and as a mid 20-year-old most people would see me as a proper adult. You’d think that at 25 you’ve figured out all the stuff and you have started a career in something. And by 30 you know who you are and what you want. The illusion of a stabel job and the conservative pressure of setteling down with a partner and starting a family. Well, this is all very clichee and I know that many poeple my age have different views on life, different to what our grand-parents and parents might expect from us.
To give some of you comfort, or maybe just to comfort myself through my word, I haven’t figured out sh*t. I am still trying to find out who I am and working on becoming the person I want to be eventually. I still don’t have a proper career, but I’ve tried a lot of different things and this leads somewhere as well. Even if it is that you can say “I’ve tried that, but it didn’t work, so I’ve moved on.”
The older I get, the more I realize that parents, teachers, coaches, whoever adult you looked up to when you were young, they all are just people. They also figure out stuff as they go and they learn along the way. They don’t know everything, but when you are young, you don’t question that.
Times might have changed. In a digital age, where we seem to live in a globally connected world, the possibilities seem endless. It’s great and it’s scary! It gives us many opportunities, but it also puts a lot of pressure on us. We constantly compare ourselves not only to the other kids in class, but to people from the other side of the world, who we see on social media.
You all should know, it’s okay to do your own thing in your own time! We’re all individuals and each of us has their own perspective, their own dreams and goals. And as vast as our dreams and goals are, are the ways in which we can work towards them. So just take your time, figure it out for yourself! You will get there eventually!!

hills and trees in white, making the forest look like a Winter Wonderland. Even though it was really cold, I enjoyed walking trough the crispy air with the sunshine on my face. Afterwards I could make a tea and sit in front of the fireplace to get warm again. The dog loved the snow as well. She ran around like crazy and played with it, until she was fully covered. Playing in the snow, sliding down the hill, going ice skating with a whole bunch of people was so much fun! Since we didn’t have much snow the past few year, I really came to appreciate and enjoy the Winter weather!
ne thing to know about me is that I love tea. My tea collection constantly grows. I have some all-time-favs, but there are two flavours I’ve really liked a lot recently. One is the TEEKANNE Japanisches Kirschblütenfest (japanese cherryblossomfest), which has a really light cherry flavour. It’s naturally a little sweet, so it almost tastes like a treat! The other one I’ve been drinking especially in the morning, is Meßmer Energie, Ingwer Holunderblüte (Energy, ginger elderflower). As the name says, the tea is really energizing. With the combination of ginger and elderflower, it isn’t too spicy, which I find many ginger teas to be. I will put links for the tea at the end of the post, in case anyone in interested.
the 
mber talks alot. Many of the topics she covers are dear to her heart, and meant to inspire and influence people around the world in a positive way. However this doesn’t mean the videos are serious. Expect lots of funny moments, hanging out with her friends, doing silly stuff… Maybe I’m just biased (because I really am), but in my opinion she is such an inspirational person and watching these videos is like hanging out with her! The last episode was released last month, and it makes me really sad that there will be no more videos (as of now). But I can still go and re-watch them anytime!
my Japanese and I started learning Korean. The app is built like a game. You are an astronaut on a mission. Trough studying you gain points. When you have earned enough points, you level up. As the levels get higher, you learn more words and phrases (and signs in Japanese and Korean). There are several rounds to repeat the words. What I find really useful is the combination of seeing the words in multiple choice, writing the words yourself and being told the words. This way, you repeat them often in different ways. For me it makes it easier to remember than just studying by hard. Also, the app doesn’t only feature many languages, but has lots of different categories like science, literature, music, etc. as well!
