ordinary is temporary

Since I’ve been in my hometown during vacation season, I thought that I would spend a lot of time meeting my friends, catching up on everything and enjoying time together like we used to do. Unfortunately, that did not happen. It took me quite a while, coming to terms with the fact that we all

homesick

Time flies by very fast, doesn’t it? It’s been a hot second since I’ve published my last post but I hope that I can keep up with writing on a regular basis from now on. The last weeks were filled with ups and downs and as always, there was aI wave of summertime sadness, especially

little sister is no more

Do you have siblings? I have a sister, who is 10 years younger than me and a stepbrother who is around my age, so we basically grew up together and went through the same stages. With my younger sister, it was different. I was 9 years old when she was born. From that moment on,

It’s been about a week since I’ve published my last post and it’s about time to change that. Today, I would like to give you some insights into the last days. Let’s go. Last Thursday I gave an online presentation about Circular Economy and let me tell you, I was a nervous wreck. Speaking in

creating distance and too much broccoli

There are certain situations in your life, where you don’t find any solution to your problem. It may keep you up at night, distract you from work and has an overall bad influence on your mental well-being. Last week, I created a problem on my own and although everybody warned me and told me not

letting go and heartbreaks

Don’t we all have this one special person in our lives? The one, who can never be forgotten? The whole world could scream, that you have to get over it, trying to shake up common sense in you, but somehow you can’t? I’ve been there. Going back and forth, but never making any progress. It
