I look into the mirror, my reflection is mustering me with curiosity. I look old, crosses my mind. The last 4 years I didn't really celebrate my birthday. I traveled alone to Iceland, spend a day in Los Angeles, made a multiple-day hike, or explored Berlin with Bridget during the first weeks of the pandemic. … Continue reading A new decade in the making.
Breakfast. It’s calm. I just hear the buzzing of the fridge. The cats have left the kitchen after their breakfast while I’m still munching on my musli bowl and cup of coffee. I stand at the window looking into the backyard and to the row of apartment houses across - facing us, facing me. Some … Continue reading In a state of not knowing
