Talking about creativity and inspiration
My First Encounter with Kreativität – And Why It’s Harder Than I Thought Okay, so I’ve been in Berlin for six months now.

Talking about happiness and life satisfaction

Discussing fears and future uncertainties
Navigating the Grey: German, Fear, and a Very Uncertain Future Okay, deep breath. Writing this feels…weird. Partly because I’m putting my anxieties out there, and partly because, well, learning German is already a massive anxiety generator.
