You Don’t Need Perfect Conditions To Start. You Just Need To Start. Five Minutes Of Focus Is Better

An appreciation post for all the coffees & teas I’ve lovingly consumed this year. There is something so healing about taking a small moment to enjoy a warm drink, especially when it feels like a hug in a mug. ☕️🤍

07.04.2025 // First entry!

Now starting this new side blog because I really wanted to journal my studies and maybe find some long lost motivation for the new semester on the way.

Today's accomplishments: ☆

4 hour reading session for my Erinnerungskultur course

got some cleaning done along the way

I want to get back to posting here

my life has been quite exciting. I’ve had so much progress. and I’ve been in love with life this past year.

my goals until the end of the year are to find my routines especially with food and excercise. I’d love to get back to learning Korean and I’ll be taking some classes which are church related. excited for those :))

Classes start today.

Feeling a bit apprehensive because I decided to take as many classes as possible this semester, and it's going to be tough. But as much as I love studying, and as much as I worry about the future, I really really want to get closer to the finish line.

On top of my classes, I also need to come up with a research question for my master's thesis (hence the book in the picture – hoping for some inspiration). I have a few ideas, but so far, I'm not in love with any of them.

At least the weather's nice! (although we desperately need some rain...)

Pages stained with coffee rings, thoughts blooming between lines, and light spilling into rooms where art and study meet. A life paced by paragraphs, warmed by stillness.

Slowly crawling back here to post to talk about books, because ngl, I missed it. At the moment, weirdly enough I only have one book on my currently reading and it still is Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales. This is the third and final book in this series, and despite me being a little over 100 pages into it I am not vibing with it. I loved the previous two books, and flew through them, but I am so stuck with this one. I don't even feel like picking it up. It is partially due to my mental health and energy levels at the moment, but also I feel like it's also this book's fault too. It's been very slow so far and I don't really see where it's going? Not much has happened so far, which also makes me wonder why this book exists in the first place. Maybe this could have been a very good duology? I feel like it's dragging a lot, idk. If someone has read the whole series and can give me some spoiler free opinions that would be lovely. I am really hoping that the plot will start doing something for me, because I want to read so bad, but at the same time this book is not keeping me interested to have a good reading session.
