Thoughts on who I am

„Do you always know who you are?“, I ask my witch, assuming I would sound just normal, humanly relatebale, but even she was confused. Lately, I had to wonder what kind of thoughts fought their way from the back of my head, where they were usually stuck and mostly being ignored, to be there inContinue reading “Thoughts on who I am”

Lost in poetry (in pictures)

My witch taught me to have my my spells ready whenever needed and in these images, I collected one that I used whenever I needed a reminder that the winter will end and the sun will rise again. And that the path is not going to disappear, as soon as I close my eyes. BecauseContinue reading “Lost in poetry (in pictures)”

“Art nouveau” – A witching way of design

We‘re taking a look at one of my favourite architecture style with this post! And yes, I know that I am a few centuries late for what I usually write about.

Thoughts on friendship!

„I have once met a collector of souls as well“, my witch whispers.Tonight, we‘re thinking about friendship.It can be heartbreaking where desperate souls go.

View through a haunted window! – History glimpse

„This window looks like one to stand behind and sing to be either be rescued by the love of your life or executed“, my witch giggles into my ears as I observe the window in the red castle wall, with the small squares reflecting the blue sky, and I have to agree.

Another novel milestone and thoughts for the future!

Since I have hit the 30 000 words for the witching novel two nights ago, I feel the need to review my writing and think about what I wanted to do with it in the near futre.I started my blog as a Dystopia diary in the depth of lockdown in 2020, rediscovered my love forContinue reading “Another novel milestone and thoughts for the future!”

“I wish this was a love story.”

Tonight‘s tale could have taken place anywhere, as long Dystopia was still lingering around.All it needs is a bottle of wine and cheeks ready to be kissed and blush.There probably was candle light, too.As well as fairy lights decorating a bookshelf and shining onto two bodies.Sometimes sitting opposed to each other.Or lying together.One of thoseContinue reading ““I wish this was a love story.””

Tale about endurance

„They don‘t have to love you“, my witch giggled into the coffee I had almost forgotten to take with me on a busy morning. „You know that, right?“„I‘m not so sure I agree“, I whisper a response that is swallowed by heavy rain all around us. It always seemed to make things so much easier.AlmostContinue reading “Tale about endurance”

My writing journey!

About being difficult

„So, we‘re just going to embrace a stake, if we see one?“, my witch giggles into my ear, while I am still shaking. With fury, I think.„If we don‘t, it‘s gonna be there either way.“ This one is about being a little bit difficult. When I turned 13, my mother got me a card thatContinue reading “About being difficult”

What a witching weather! – What was the „Little Ice Age“?

About the good things in life

„Against all odds“, where the words my witch and I were living by for a very long time, and I keep wondering what kind of life can be spent in the light of these words.

Dystopia mind

There is an iced latte in front of me and the sun is shining.My words to the person in front of me had been enough to fill pages, as well as to end the patience in the kind eyes looking at me.„You are catastrophizing again!“„Am I?“„Yes!“„But are you sure that I‘m not right?“Desperation sparkles uniquelyContinue reading “Dystopia mind”

Fertility thoughts!

I am sitting at my mother‘s kitchen table.The yellow wallpaper is glowing in the evening sun, while the radio got stuck in the 70s.We are having a late Espresso, and I catch a wave of empathy on my mother‘s face.„Women don‘t have it easy“, she says in deep contemplation. „The clock is ticking constantly andContinue reading “Fertility thoughts!”
