Growing Up

Good evening, my beautiful sparkling Snowglobes!!

Have you ever had that feeling that you´re leaving your childhood behind you? Well, I am having that feeling since I was 15. When it started, I couldn´t quite define it. But then I wanted to do less and less things I´ve always loved doing as a kid. Then, two years ago, I even drew a picture about how I felt:
(I never said it was a great picture, okay!)
Anyway, since then the feeling got stronger but I somehow forgot about it. Than, last year, I was home alone for three weeks and the feeling returned. I felt kinda gown up. But as soon as my parents returned, the feeling vanished again.
The last two weeks I´ve been alone again. The feeling didn´t return. In fact, I felt something different entirely: I felt completely grown up. And I liked it. I was responsible for everything, had to cook for myself, go to work and all of that. I loved it. But yesterday my parents returned. And staying at home with my parents and younger brother is making me feel less grown up. So: I want to move out - live on my own. But I can´t afford it yet. Which makes me crazy.
Does anyone of you feel the same or has some advice for me, how to deal with this?

I found this quote today: and it got me thinking … Home isn´t a place, it´s a feeling. And even though I love my family and the house we´re living in and my friends and my work and basically everything – I haven´t come home yet. Maybe I felt home when I was little, when my only worries where to get a new dress for my Barbie dolls or to get that new Benjamin Blümchen cassette. But I can´t really remember it. So I´m sitting here on my bed, which I also really love btw and where I cuddle myself in my sheets when I´m scared or really really sad, and I wonder if I ever find my home, where I truly belong to. I like to believe in true love and that my soulmate is somewhere out there and that he is my home. Sometimes I dream about my future and see myself living in England, being married and having two daughters. In those moments I feel as if I´m almost there. I feel happy and can´t wait for my future to turn to the present. But what if I´m wrong? What if I don´t have...

Moving Out & stuff

Hey Ho my friends!! I´m going on an adventure! Nah, not really. But I´m moving out and that´s kinda the same, innit? My very first and very own flat. And it´s perfect. About 60 square-metres, 2 rooms (plus kitchen, bath and the hallway), a pantry and a balcony <3 We´re still painting the walls and laminating the floor but if everything goes to plan, I shall move in during the first weekend in January! I am so excited. After all, it´s what I always wanted! I´ll let you know once I live there. Other news include: I´ll stay in Bath for 8 weeks next year, for an internship #superexcited and my English teacher proof-reads the translation of my book "Don´t forget me" (working title) #stillexcited AND most importantly: I collected all my bravery and told my kinda-crush about my feelings for him (which are super confusing) and he was really sweet and chill about it. We decided to stay friends (because I´m not sure if I love him as a friend or more and he only said he likes...

Waiting

Why do we spend our whole life waiting? We´re waiting for the next weekend, vacation, for school to be over, the apprenticeship being over, having finished studying. We are waiting for someone to reply to our texts, to call back. We are waiting for our crush to notice us, for our parents to realise that we´ve grown up, for finally meeting our favourite celebrities. We spend our whole life waiting for it to finally begin. Why do we do that? What do we want to achieve by that? Why can´t we just stop waiting for a moment and cherish the little things we have? Like the fact that today, right now is happening and I am right here, being able to do anything I could imagine. School is preparing us for later but of what use are the lessons if we ignore them because we´re too busy to wait for later to happen. If someone doesn´t reply straight away they are probably busy with something else, maybe with being happy about their life (or homework) - you are not the only person in their life and ...
