The confusion surrounding experiencing transitions My experience with literature has always been soured, dating back to my O-level English Literature days.

From young ages society is taught to always be thinking of the future, children are asked what they want to be when they’re older instead of teaching them that sometimes it is okay to live in the moment, nurturing the part of the brain which leads to intense feelings of anxiety, hopelessness and the indescribably feeling of your life leading nowhere which can only be described as “lost”.

Your little brain cannot fathom something that is not simple and if some complicated matter is not explained by an adult, a child cannot understand it. Racism is one of those things – something that my Swiss-Korean developing brain would not process.  Many culture shocks happened to reconfirm multiple times that I do not belong in this country. The culture, the customs, the food, the social cues and interactions. My looks were enough to throw others off. Much was not needed.

C’è un famoso film di Bernardo Bertolucci decisamente da guardare nella fascia d’età adolescenziale e nostalgica che, prima o poi, arriva per tutti. È quel periodo della… Leggi tutto: La ricetta del cambiamento

Der zweite Lockdown ist anders. Die Unsicherheit jedoch ist dieselbe wie beim ersten Mal.  Ich sitze hier, auf einer Bank und blicke hinab auf die still gewordene Stadt. Menschen spazieren an mir vorbei und ich versuche ihnen an den Augen abzulesen ob es ihnen genauso schwerfällt wie mir. Ob sie sich auch ein Lächeln von… Leggi tutto: Gedanken Samstagnachmittags

our perception of skin, of others but especially our own, is extremely distorted. The idea of “good skin” portrayed by the media is becoming more and more different from “real skin”.
