free falling

21 comments

[DE] Hallo meine Lieben!
Jede Woche nehme ich mir vor mehr als einen Post zu veröffentlichen und jede Woche klappt es nicht weil ich im Moment so komisch drauf bin.
In letzter Zeit fühle ich mich trotz regelmäßigem Sport und genügend Obst und Gemüse doch sehr ausgelaugt, gestresst und antriebslos. Ich weiss gar nicht was mit mir los ist, denn so weinerlich und empfindlich kenne ich mich eigentlich selbst nicht - und so gefalle ich mir auch nicht. Was mich so stresst ist meine momentane Situation, die sich irgendwie wie ein freier Fall anfühlt.
Ich habe meine Wohnung in Deutschland aufgegeben, habe all mein Hab und Gut verkauft und nur das Nötigste bei Papa im Keller verstaut und bin nach Australien gegangen. Hier in Australien war ich die ersten 3 Monate arbeitslos und habe deshalb all mein Erspartes aufgebraucht. Jetzt habe ich zwar einen Job mit festem monatlichem Einkommen, habe aber kein Geld und auch keine Zeit übrig um zu reisen und mir Australien mal genauer anzuschauen. Es ist frustrierend! Noch dazu weiss ich gar nicht, wie es weitergehen soll so ohne Erspartes und ohne Plan und Ziel. Ich hänge ein bisschen in der Luft und das fühlt sich ein wenig seltsam an. Noch dazu bin ich jemand, der viel zu viel nachdenkt und deshalb nicht zur Ruhe kommt und das macht mich im Moment so wahnsinnig müde und lustlos.
Wenn man so einen Punkt im Leben erreicht ist die beste Lösung, sich darüber klar zu werden, was man will. Es ist schwierig, aber es passiert langsam, ich bin auf dem Weg dorthin, es kristallisiert sich langsam eine Richtung heraus. Die gesamte letzte Woche hat sich angefühlt, als hätte ich mich selbst unterwegs verloren und würde langsam wahnsinnig werden. Ab morgen habe ich mir vorgenommen mich selbst zu therapieren, wieder mehr Yoga zu machen, eine Massage für meinen armen von Stessverspannungen geplagten Rücken zu buchen, tief durchzuatmen, mich nicht verrückt zu machen und in Ruhe zu überlegen, wie es für mich weitergehen soll. Es ist zwar angsteinflößend so frei zu fallen was den weiteren Verlauf des eigenen Lebens angeht, aber es ist ja auch positiv, da einem alle Möglichkeiten offen stehen. Alles wird gut wenn ich Herz und Verstand dazu bringe, wieder zusammenzuarbeiten. Herausforderung angenommen!

[EN] Hi loves!
Every week I plan to publish at least two posts here and everz week I fail because I'm in such a weird mood at the moment.
Despite regular workouts and enough veggies and fruit I've been feeling pretty drained, stressed out and lethargic. I don't know myself that whiny and sensitive and I don't like myself like this. What stresses me out so much is my current situation that feels like a total freefall.
I gave up my apartment in Germany, sold all my belongings, stored only the essentials in my dad's basement and moved to Australia. Here in Australia I was unemployed over the first three months which forced me to spend all my savings. Now I have a job with a fixed monthly income but I don't have any savings or time to travel and see more of this beautiful country. It's so frustrating! On top of this I have no idea where to go from here without savings or a plan or goal. I'm free falling and it feels strange. Furthermore I'm a person who thinks way too much and this is what makes me so restless, tired and unmotivated.
When you reach such a point in your life, the best is to find out what you want. It is really hard, but I'm slowly getting there, it's emerging, I'm finding a direction. The whole week I've been feeling like I lost myself along the way. I was honestly thinking I'm going insane. Starting from tomorrow I have made the resolution to treat myself by doing more Yoga, booking a massage for my stress-related tense back, breathing deeply, not driving myself insane and sorting out where to go from here.
It may be scary to find yourself in such a freefall situation but it's also a positive thing because all doors are open and I can choose what path to take for my life now. Everything will be okay if I can make my heart and mind work together again. Challenge accepted!
 
 

[DE] Das Outfit hatte ich übrigens vor zwei Wochen an, als wir mit Js Familie Indisch essen waren. Ich wollte nicht zu schicki sein aber ein bisschen aufgehübscht hatte ich mich dann doch mit Kleidchen und Klunkerkette. Muss ja auch manchmal sein.
So, das wars für heute. Den Rest des Tages (hier ist eh schon Abend) werde ich faulenzenderweise im Bett verbringen mit Tee und Dokus, damit ich mich endlich mal wieder etwas entspanne nach dem ganzen Zukunftsangst-Stress in letzter Zeit.

Frohe Ostern! Habt einen schönen freien Tag morgen! 

[EN] By the way this outfit is from two weeks ago when we went out with J's family to have Indian dinner. I didn't want to be too chic but dolled myself up a little with the teadress and glam necklace. Sometimes it's got to be a bit of bling.
Well, that's pretty much it for today. It's 9 pm here already anyway, so I'll spend the rest of the evening in bed with tea and documentaries to unwind a bit from all the worries I had over the past days.
Happy Easter! Have a nice day off tomorrow!

foxes and a story about asymmetric legs

foxes and a story about asymmetric legs outfit post title

Hello loves!

Today I'm presenting you some foxes and my *so not ready for summer legs* in semi-transparent black tights. What a combo huh?
First things first: the foxes. This cardigan is one of those unintentional Ebay bargains - you forget that you bid on it and *Bam!* it's yours for only 5 bucks. I've always loved anything fox-printed so I was very happy about the won auction. The colours are pretty autumny actually, but here in Germany the temperatures drop to autumn level in summer a lot so the colour combo is just fine for the recent weather. The knit is really soft and cozy too, so nice! Paired with my summery shorts and sneakers it was the perfect outfit for a chilly summer day.


Okay, now for the aformentioned not ready for summer legs. Actually it's the same every year: Not only do I dread summer because of the heat and high air humidity, no, I dread it even more because in said weather there is no chance I can hide my legs.
I've always hated them for the red birthmarks that crawl up my right leg from the toes to the butt. Granted. I'm over it, I have learned to deal with people staring at it. But what actually really bothers me is the fact that my legs are asymmetric. No joke, take a closer look at the second pic in this post, look at the calves and you will see what I'm talking about. The red birthmarks on my leg somehow shrink the tissue and that's the reason my left leg is bigger than the right one. In most pics you won't see the difference because I've become pretty good at concealing it of course. But believe me, it's such a pain in the butt for me to find fitting jeans...
Anyways, most days I feel confident enough to still wear shorts or skirts and show my legs because A) I know people don't notice unless I tell them about the asymmetry and B) I am trying really hard to love myself with all my flaws inside and outside and get rid of this constant urge to critizise my body. I'm sure all of you know what I mean when in my last post I said that the road to self-confidence and to loving your own body is a struggle, it's really hard, especially with media trying to manipulate the image you have of yourself.
So it's enough now!

Today I feel good enough to post these pictures and say

*Yes I have asymmetrical legs and yes there's a bit of cellulite in the pics too, so what?!*.

I critizise myself way too often, tell myself I'm a freak, a mutant, too fat and whatnot. But it's enough now.
There's still a long road ahead but I can see progress already and posts like this one here are indicators for a slow but steady improvement that's taking place in my head.


What do you think my dear readers? How do you feel about yourselves?
It really is not easy nowadays but we should all try to not pull ourselves or each other down.



Happy Sunday!

as simple as it can be

Hi guys!

You might have read before that I don't really like summer, I keep repeating it whenever I can. So, now we actually have summer weather although it's April...
See, every year people get sick of me because when it's hot I'm a real sissy and I understand that it's hard to bear all the whining and complaining. And every year I resolve to stop this annoying behaviour and to try to enjoy summer at least only a little bit - but today I realized again that I simply can't. I really can't. I'm terrible, I know.
This week we've been having about 23°C everyday and I'm already niggling. I hate heat, I hate to sweat, I hate to sit down on meadows because the grass is scratchy, I hate insects, I want to stay inside all day with a fan. I told you I'm a sissy... Well, what could I do about it? Any suggestions?

I'm a person with lots of little ailments, like sporadical neurodermatitis, my congenital red stains on the leg with an inflammed spot, allergy to insect bites, hay fever... so summer is exhausting. I bet some of you have similar problems, right? How do you guys handle hot summer days? I'm eager to change something about my whiny and/or pissed mood on days when I have to go outside. Either I have to find out what to do against all the ailments or I'll have to emigrate to... I don't know, the Arctic? I'm already looking forward to winter.

Oh by the way I chose this title because I've been having a stressful week full of work and uni, so my outfits are comfortable and as simple as they can be. I hope you like it though ;)


Have a lovely day!
