About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to combine my restlessness with longing for home

ABOUT ME

It is hard to say something about myself, because learning about myself is a full time project nowadays. My limits and possibilities, desires and fears. Accepting all of this and living with it the best I can.

I am a BA in political science, and almost a master in Gender studies. However, the official education has never been a real source of my knowledge. I even feel uneducated in that way. It used to be always too far away from me, too high up, to abstract, and not real.

I know nothing about the world, I am not so curious about facts and numbers. Lived experience that's what matters to me. Stories, about joy and pain.

I feel deeply, I am sensitive, easily hurt, easily made happy. I love strong an long. I am calm, but if I need to fight, I will do it without hesitation.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that I have to be the best me I can be
