And once again...

... fill in the blanks!

1.   What I love most about my home is       my bed. our balcony. the view on the river rhine   .

2.  I'm excited because,    it's only three more weeks of school and then I'm done. Like forever  .

3.  My preferred method for blowing  off steam when I'm frustrated is     go running or sleep   .

4.  Currently I am craving   an apple  .

5.  The thing I love most about my mom is     that she's always there for me and that she cares for me. When I am sick she makes me tea and brings it to my bed. When I am sad she's comforting me. I also love it that we can talk about everything     .

6.  If I was going to write a book about my life, the title would be        I don't know. Maybe "life's a shuffled playlist" .

7.  If I were to eat one thing for the rest of eternity it would be        vegetables. I guess.

Last but not least: 

Happy mother's day! 

Mama, I love you! You're my hero!

Breathing Earth

Check out this link. 

It's a visual real-time simulation that displays the

 carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, birth rates, 

and death rates of every country in the world.

The people who know me, know that environmental issues are a of great interest to me and that I desire to live as environmental friendly as possible. 

But often I feel overwhelmed by the things I should and could do, that I don't know where to start. And I often feel so help- and useless. Like one person couldn't make a difference. 

But I think if we all start to "reduce, reuse, recycle" a bit more, it will make a difference. 

And so I give my best and start with little things like driving my bike whenever it's possible and do not take the car, buy fruits from Germany and use recycled paper. I know there's more that I could do, but I'm a work in progress.

All I need is...

Books. Equals Love.

At the moment I'm reading a fantastic book: 

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society 

by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. 

It's one of those books that you can not put away and when you do all your thoughts entwine around the story. I'm not someone who crys while reading a book or watching a movie. But this book almost brought me to tears, but it also made me laugh. And it's one of those books that make you happy and that inspires you to be a better person.

I can highly recommend it.

Not a secret tip anymore...

But if you haven't yet: check out TV Noir.
Once a month they arrange a concert with a an artist, mostly german Singer/Songwriters. The specialty of it is, that it isn't only a conert but also a talkshow. They record the show (in black and white - so classy) and you can watch it on their homepage or youtube. Here some of my favorites:

Neurotic, but brilliant.
