detached. adrift. in need of finding ways of channeling my thoughts. 

and thank you. 

i have, but it is something i experience very rarely. 

it is put on ice for an incalculable time.

this space and the photographic work you’ll find on it are probably the best substitute for an answer – i’d struggle with the task of quickly summing it up anyways.

and no, not exactly, although it has been my main medium of expression for the past eight years, especially during the time i couldn’t be bothered touching pen and paper, but studying made me search for this exact “vocation” all over again – i find myself being drawn to a handful of disciplines; photography is only one of them. 

i disallow this statement until you let me touch your cerebral membrane and tickle your heartstrings. i am as common of a person as you are.

ich hielt meinen schatten für einen anderen und grüßte (i mistook my shadow for someone else and greeted it would be a more or less adequate translation) by kurt drawert and currently nostalgia by mircea cărtărescu.

i never got into the habit of watching a lot of films, but inhaled excessive amounts of literature instead. since there are yet so many films i haven’t seen i am trying to do so by myself, but i tend to find it more enjoyable when being in companionship, hence my repertoire of good films is rather limited and so would be my answer.

the most recent i watched (and liked) were michael haneke’s amour, thomas vinterberg’s jagten, ulrich seidl’s paradies: liebe, jeff nichols’ take shelter, lynn ramsay’s we need to talk about kevin, and vincent paronnaud’s and marjane satrapi’s persepolis. 

i am a perfect blend between the two of them. i have my mother’s full lips and eyebrows, my father’s straight nose, cheekbones and thin hair, my mother’s posture and hands, my father’s metabolism and long limps, my mother’s empathy, delicacy of feeling and sensitivity, and my father’s stubborn intellect, egocentrism and forceful personality. 

i took a stance on that a while ago.

i do feel like seafood or sushi every once in a blue moon, but i never had trouble avoiding it and never regretted my choice to be a vegetarian either. from my own experience being vegan is as small of a challenge –– it has not been a conscious decision, but i find myself living vegan when i am by myself (i still consume dairy products or eggs when being with my family for instance), and i do not experience it as difficult in the slightest. 

i did not code it entirely myself, but since i had this theme for years and altered and recoded it several times, adding to and deleting from it here and there, i could not answer this with all certainty - it may very well be that the original theme was by arreter though.
