Just completed my spontaneous 72 hours no food fasting (only water) 🍽️❌ My longest autophagy experiment so far. Day 1 was the most unfamiliar. A bit hangry here and there. Day 2 my head got really clear and I could work well. The obvious part I didn't see coming: I train a lot, so there's always this calculation running about getting enough protein in. For three days it was just gone. That felt freeing. Whats your experiece with longer fast? What stuck with you afterwards and did you archive any specific goals?

Bali off season is quiet. No packed beach clubs. No pressure to be somewhere. No one really watching. And in that stillness, something shifted. I caught myself asking: If social media didn’t exist, would I still live like this? Would I take this photo? Would I choose this place? Would this moment feel as valuable if no one knew I was here? Sometimes I’m somewhere beautiful and I just want to experience it. And still, there’s this automatic impulse: capture it. Post it. Frame it. Not because it’s fake. But because being seen has quietly become part of being real. Off season feels calm because there’s nothing to perform. And now I’m wondering: What parts of my life are actually mine - and which ones only exist because they can be seen?

I spent years feeling alone in relationships. Not because love was missing, but because I wasn’t really letting myself be seen. Not fully. Not in real time. What’s changing that for me isn’t more sharing — it’s more curiosity. The kind that stays present when it’s easier to perform. The kind that makes space for real connection, even when it’s a little messy. I’m working on a project about this right now — how relational curiosity might be the missing skill in how we love, listen, and relate. If this touches something in you, I’d love to hear your experience: When have you felt unmistakably seen in a relationship — or quietly unseen, even when everything looked “good”? Just collecting thoughts, patterns, language. No pressure. Just dialogue and maaaaybe some beta testing :)

New challenge: If I'd drive 3 hours for a beach on vacation, why wouldn't I do it back at home? This summer I'm exploring a life where i apply vacation behaviours on regular days. Wherever l am 🫰🏽
Two days ago a car drove into the Pride crowd in my city. A woman is dead 💔 I live in Berlin. And since that day I keep coming back to something a blogger said: "Poisonous believe of having to tolerate the intolerant." That's the spot queer people end up in, again and again. My first reaction was: enough. Stop tolerating. But the more I sit with it, the more I think tolerance was never the problem. Tolerance toward people, toward faith, toward difference - that's exactly what queer people are asking for themselves. You can't demand it and refuse it at the same time. To be clear: this is not about Muslims. Not about Christians. Not about any group of people. Most people in this city, whatever they believe, just want to live their life in peace. The problem is naivety toward ideologies. Islamism. Christian fundamentalism. Right-wing extremism. Whatever flavor it comes in - every ideology that wants queer people gone. Being "open" toward that isn't tolerance. It's negotiating your own existence. Because here's the part I can't get past: I don't know a single queer person who attacks anyone for what they believe or how they live. It only ever runs the other way. And that woman didn't die because queer people were too tolerant. She died because a known extremist was walking free. It's not the job of a minority to get harder. Holding that line is the state's job. That's what it's for. I don't have this sorted. I'm not sure anyone does right now. So I'm asking: Where does tolerance end for you - and who's supposed to hold that line? No pressure. But the uncomfortable answers are welcome too.
Remember Call Me by Your Name? Elio’s father tells him in the end „You had a beautiful friendship. Maybe more than a friendship… but our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once.”- its such a beautiful dialogue 🥹 We live as if both had more time than they do. As if we could keep postponing presence, feeling, honesty, and still arrive untouched. But the heart does tire. The body changes. And a life spent trying to feel less, just to stay safe, can quietly become a life only half-lived. Maybe the point is not to protect ourselves from every wound. Maybe it is to not waste what is still here: the body that carries us, the heart that still responds, the time that is still ours to use. Not to harden too early. Not to disappear from our own lives before they are even over. Let’s be here while we’re here ❤️
