A Quarter Century. || 21st of September, 2018

It’s my birthday. Thank you, universe, for deciding to put me on this planet. Thank you, world, for being so endlessly interesting and inspiring.

What’s ahead?

What’s waiting?

What adventures, what mysteries and storms?

I wonder. I’m excited.

Here’s to never growing old and always rising up.

Here’s to youth. Here’s to living.

f you find bones in the forest, sit a bit and listen. they are old and have some good stories to tell. maybe they’ll teach you a spell or two, or explain where the water on our planet came from.if you find bones by the ocean, run. don’t look back. run, faster, faster. the sea may love you but there are nights where she knows neither mercy nor science, and the bones warn you only once.

Is this a threat, and if yes, are you threatening me with my own writing?

(It’s working. Very scary. Please don’t.)

Nothing quite compares to the feeling of uploading your master’s dissertation to the submission portal of your university.

With this, my master’s degree in the UK ends. A year abroad ends. A year of speaking a foreign language day and night, in personal interaction and professional academia. A year of living in London – and what a city it is, ancient and maddening and incomparably breathtaking. 

Now, I am free from everything for the littlest while. Until the PhD begins. We all need a last break to recharge and focus before we continue our ascent. 

I can’t wait to see what else lies ahead in this world for me.

If I can take a breath, then I can lift my head.

If I can lift my head, then I can take a step.

And with that, I walk.

And with that, motion is mine;

No matter the haste, pay it no mind.

A journey is more than just path

So I’ll spend my moments

For the landscape to wander by my side.

heeey i wanted to do your dissertation study but i couldn’t get past the select your gender page because it had no nonbinary option. this may sound like a stupid reason but i won’t misgender myself because that sucks a lot and the option of prefer not to say made me feel like the only other option i had was to hide my gender, which also sucks a lot. i’m sure you had your reasons but especially if you’re looking for participants on the internet it would be good to be more inclusive

Hello,

thank you for notifying me on this. I indeed did not consider this when setting up the study, I’m sorry. Sadly the study is already running and cannot be changed but I will consider it in my future research. Thank you for wanting to participate and sending this message!
