Healing

Three weeks ago, I started seeing a psychologist, and I would actually love to talk to her every day. Not because I’m in a bad place, but because I’ve been reflecting so much on memories from my past that I crave someone else’s perspective on them. Living alone in a new village and working from home, barely having contact with other people in person, is maybe not the best situation. Talking to…

¡Sé la primera en inversora de tu familia!

Vengo de una familia donde el dinero era un tema de susurros. Mi bisabuelo inició un negocio, mi abuelo lo hizo crecer y mi padre lo consolidó hasta alcanzar ese punto cómodo de clase media-alta. Pero curiosamente, aunque el dinero fluía, hablar de él era tabú. “Estar agradecidos” era la consigna familiar – una lección valiosa, sin duda, pero que dejaba un vacío sobre cómo realmente funcionaba…

All the things I didn't tell you...

I deleted his number. And not in the “fake” way where I have some old Whatsapp messages saved and pretend I don’t remember them, until some day, when I am drunk, go look for them just to be able to text him (and most certainly regret it the next day). I deleted his number and all our conversations. For my own safety. Because I decided I have to let go. Let go of something that never really…

Be my safe space

Unfortunately, I am not one of the bloggers who have the time (and especially the engergy) to write every day or every week, so almost seven months went by and many many many things happened that eventually will end up here but today I will just share some random thoughts. I do go to see a chiropractor on a regular basis, not because I am in pain or have some health issues, but I think of it as…

…add title…

Lately I have been thinking a lot about my ex. Not just my ex but many of my past connections. But especially about my ex. To be honest, I tend to think about him every time I am frustrated with and about men. Once he told me: No one will ever love you like I do. Up until now, it felt sometimes like he put a curse on me. Especially the days that I felt really down I thought he might be…

If the earth is flat...

If the earth is flat…

… I will find the edge and jump off it! But according to yesterdays date, that is impossible because “the earth is flat and endless! We are surrounded by infitity of ice. That’s why no one ever made it to the point 0 of the South Pole.” I shit you not. This is what he said and what he believes in. The earth is flat. He even wanted me to do some calculations to proof that he is right… In…

Trust more (?)

Trust more. Fear less. Love. I have these words tattooed on my forearm as a daily reminder for some of the things I want to improve (the list is endless and would not fit on my arm so I chose the three most important ones). Do I have trust issues? Definitely! Do I choose to have trust issues? Definitely not. I can choose to face my fears and overcome them. I can choose to love. I also can…

Bombero (The firefighter)

Once upon a time before the pandemic, January 5th 2020, I went out for drinks with my friend Nora to a now rather famous bar calle “Two Schmucks” where we got pretty drunk and decided the night cannot just end like this, almost falling off the bar chair while having a blast, so we went to Sala Apolo to dance like there is no tomorrow (little did we know that there almost was no tomorrow,…

Your biggest enemy is you

I do not like to be bad at things… No, let me rephrase this. I absolutely HATE to be bad at something. And my solution to this problem until know was to just avoid things that I feel fall into this category. To be fair, I think no one really enjoys that feeling of being a failure, but how will you ever become good at something if you do not keep trying, experimenting, learning and improving,…

The little things...

The little things…

I am not really sure if it was the list of things I am grateful for, or the session with my chiropractor who unblocked my energy flow (Chiropractors do not “just” ajust your spine but by ajusting it, help the nervous system to better transmit the the signals sent from the brain thus, your energy flows better), but yesterday I woke up at 6:45 am without an arlarm (when I usually set three alarms…

Gratitude is the attitude

Last year I came across a video of Paul Austin’s very interesting speach “Psychedelics for Leadership Development” and the (positive) effects of micro-dosing like being able to focus better, being more productive, being more open minded to other opinions, etc etc. I was intrigued and did not just start to reasearch more about micro-dosing, I actually did get a “micro-dosing starter kit” (Natural…

At the end of the rainbow…

On the 23rd of April they celebrate St. George’s Day (Día de Sant Jordi) in Catalunya, which is basically a Catalan version of St. Valentine’s Day, where traditionally the women get roses and the men get books. This day the streets of Barcelona are typically filled with market stands where you can buy books and street vendors are selling roses on every corner. It would be cute, if it just were…

Who let the dogs out?

I was today years old when I found out that the English word for female dogs is bitches. I was researching about the cycle of dogs and its symptoms, including the amount of blood a dog loses during this time because I heard some horror stories from other dog owners in the park, when I came across an article that read From then on, most bitches come on heat twice a year. You cannot imagine my…

One of these days...

One of these days…

…where you wanna be productive but then, somehow, you don’t manage to focus and do finish at least even one thing… And you don’t know if it is the lack of sleep, because you came home at 3.30 am from hanging out all night with an actual nice and easy to be around with guy that you met on Tinder last year but who also isn’t boyfriend material because he is not going to stay in the city (but…

Project for my Audiovisual class. Create a music video clip / a campaign video for a political candidate / a promotional video for a a non profit cause using already existing material (photos or videos), thus “recycle” the material found and give it a new meaning.

My video is a mixture of two options, using a love song in combination with photos of domestic violence victims to raise awareness about the topic. So on the one hand I gave the lyrics of the love song a different meaning but also created a campaign video for a non profit cause.
