Stories of my Life

Good evening Snowglobes, How are you? I hope you have a great start into the weekend. I want to talk about languages today. Might sound like a strange topic at first. But there´s a reason behind me writing about that. First of all: what is you mother tongue? Please tell me in the comments, I´m curious who is reading this, from where you all are. My mother tongue is German. I grew up listening to German, spoke my first words ever in German (and no, I do not know what my first words were. I should ask though, would be an interesting thing to know) and today I´m speaking German in my everyday life. This is the moment where I´m adding a huge BUT though: What does the term "mother tongue" actually tell others about you? I grew up getting told that someone receives a message better if it´s in their mother tongue, German in my case. That the feelings are greater if someone watches a film in their mother tongue. But is that true? In my case, it certainly isn´t. Currently I´m at...

Hello my sparkling Snowglobes! I hope you´re fine today :* Initally I wanted to talk about seasons, Autumn to be exact. But then another thought hit my brain: Where will I be in a few years? You know, I always had that dream that one day I will be living in England, London or a bit outside of London, working in a library. I still want that, but when exactly is "One Day" ? I´ve only just started my training to become a specialist in media and information services in a library, which means I´ll have to stay in Berlin for at least another three years, until I´ve finished that training. And after that maybe another year so that I can work in that branch for a bit. And then? The thought that I could literally move to England in four years scares me a bit. Of course moving there isn´t everything. I will have to look for a flat first and find a job. Not an easy thing. You probably can´t understand why I want to move to England. Or maybe you can. It´s just so weird, especially ...

 Hey there beautiful Snowglobes x Helen Garner has reviewed my beloved "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. I just read that review and I absolutely love it. She writes it witty and funny. Let alone the sentence "Lydia Bennet, at 16, is a piece of trash" makes me want to roll on the ground, laughing my arse (sorry for that) of. Here is the link for you, so go and read it. You won´t regret it, I promise. But beware, many spoilers XD http://lithub.com/200-years-after-the-embargo-helen-garner-reviews-pride-and-prejudice/ Vanessa xxx

Hello you awesome Snowglobes! I surely hope you´re feeling awesome on this lovely Sunday. If not - what´s the problem? Talk to me and I try to help you, I promise. Everything is going to be fine. I know this might sound cheesy and the stereotype thing to say, but I´ve been through some tough times and I know that things can become better - after every storm the sun will shine again. Todays question is is: What is the thing you most wish you were great at? Persistence. A word that easy and small and yet it´s something so difficult. I´m not a very patient person and don´t get me started on how often I start things, but never finish them. A good example is losing weight. Yeah, the old struggle, the fight that as good as everyone´s fighting. It´s not easy. Of course it isn´t, no one said it would be. And yet I keep hoping I´ll manage it in no time. Btw my mom just told me that she was asked if I had a serious illness because I "gained so much weight" during the last time...

Hey Snowglobes <3 Here we are - my second blog. This one will be very different from my first one (which I´m still updating) though. Bookdragon is all about reviews, whereas here you´ll get to know me better. I´ll write about everyday life, my passions, participate in writing challenges and more.   If you have any questions, want to know something or just want to get rid of your opinion, please feel free to comment under my posts.   Another thing that will be different on here is that I´ll only talk English. At least in the posts. If you prefer German and ask something in German, I´ll answer in German, too, of course ^^   I hope you´ll enjoy your stay on Stories of my Life . So how do I start? I thought I´d give you a few facts about myself, so you know who I actually am. 1) my name is Vanessa 2) I´m 18 years old (atm) 3) I live in Germany, but I´d much prefer living in England 4) I feel like I was born at the wrong side of the Channel 5) English is my pre...
