Mistress und der Frühlingsbeginn
Mistress hat es schon lange mit Orten. Mit Städten und Flüssen. Neben Menschen und geliebten Körpern vermisst Mistress heute Wald. Die letzten drei Wochen waren eine unsichtbare Reise. Sie merkt erst nach jedem Schritt, dass er passiert ist.

Mistress hat Gefühle
Heute hat Mistress viele Gefühle und weiß nicht wohin damit. Rausgehen, das erste Eis des Jahres holen und in die Sonne schauen ist ein guter Plan. Wenn ab morgen die Eisläden zu sind, ist mit kalten Fingern Eis essen ein ausgezeichneter Plan.

Mistress sammelt Kraft
Während draußen im großen Maßstab sozialer Rückzug modern wird, ist Mistress zuhause am Kräfte sammeln. Am passende, beklemmende Bücher fertiglesen. Sie stellt sich ein auf eine Welt, die seltsam bleibt. Sie sorgt sich um die Nähe.
Zamhalten, loves.

Mittagsschlaf ist auch nicht mehr das, was es mal war.

Mistress and the present tense (summer charm)
Mistress hasn’t been in the office that much recently. It’s summer. Adventures and working inbetween. Pushing the sleeping time. Today she wants to go swimming. The city is gleaming from the heat.

Mistress feels ungrateful
More than being told that she is great and beautiful, Mistress wants to be seen the way she is. (It is flattering though and lovely to hear.)

Mistress and a slipping morning
Mistress was good until breakfast. Then everything took too long and her eyeliner smudged the wrong way and when she finally, finally would be ready to leave she noticed she forgot her macbook charger at university yesterday. In another city.
And a big job to solve today. And her birthday coming up. And that itchy feeling in her throat that might means getting a cold (or not). And the lines she wants to draw don’t come out clearly, either.

Mistress is going to miss a girl
Some days, you need songs like blankets to wrap yourself in. One of Mistress’ friends moves to what feels like the farthest place there is and they won’t see each other before she leaves.

The magic and sadness of doing things alone
Mistress has always preferred doing things alone than not at all. She has been going to concerts on her own forever. Yesterday a friend left her wondering, saying this sounded sad. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn’t. There is magic and sadness in doing things alone.

Mistress was working from home
Mistress knows that it’s not true, still – the 3+ years she has been working from home feel like hiding now.

A happy and a clouded heart
Mistress hasn’t been drawing for ages. She moved. The new home makes a happy heart. Her grandma died and it got clouded again. Now she tries to get back to a pattern.

Mistress is European / Sunday Diary
Mistress wants to go to a market in the afternoon but needs to get some illustration work done before. The rain outside sets the mood to a calm november sunday. Mistress’ mind is overshadowed by what happened in Paris friday night – and what happens in Europe, like, building (kind of) fences and closing borders. This scares her.
PS: Wondering if the train connection to Munich is still down? Just another thing that happened and that disconnects neighbouring countries. Allies. A Union.

How to dress: summer vs. autumn
During summer, Mistress loves wearing the same dresses over and over. Right now, it sucks wearing the same sweaters all the time for not freezing.

Mistress feels stupid
Mistress easily shows her home on the internet: On her blog. The ikea magazine. Recently even the TV was in for a visit. But she worries about taking someone home. Makes her feel a) lonely and b) totally stupid.

Mistress is back to things
Right now, work is more about meetings and decisions than doing the work. After a few days at home, Mistress is back to her regular Wing Chun training. The kindest people and so much motivation ♥
Again, looking for a routine for the weeks to come.

When Mistress does not sleep at night
These days, when Mistress can’t fall asleep, she wishes that something real would happen. (Can someone please take away my phone and hold me tightly till I sleep?)
You can listen to Lost Name’s «Forward», too. It’s been on my mind all day. —via Melodica Festival Vienna
There’s one step left / then I will break / just one step forward / just one mistake
