My weekend with mum and Merry Christmas

Hola everyone.

Christmas is just around the corner. Can you believe it? Because I certainly can’t, to be honest. The days just went by so quickly, it’s crazy. And as I told you last week, I still have one thing to do – tell you about my weekend with mum here in Berlin when she visited me.

.

First of all I have to say that it was really really amazing. I loved spending time with her, it was like a small holiday. So what did we do? On the first evening we just spent some quality time at home. Actually I picked her up from the airport when she got here in the evening. And then we just got home in my apartment and chatted. The next day, after work, we went to have dinner in a vietnamese restaurant, which was freaking amazing. And then we visited my favorite place in the city, a huge book – and a lot of other stuff – store. Until midnight and I’m not even kidding. And yes, people seriously still buy books on a Friday night.

.

On Saturday we went a little shopping and then went to the cinema to see the oh so beautiful movie “About Ray”, which I already told you about in my last post. What a great movie, holy moly. And then we just strolled around in town, visited a supercute cat café and again went for dinner – Mexican this time. Oh and then we walked to a really nice christmas market where I drank probably the best punch (the christmasy beverage, not what you are thinking) I’ve ever had.

.

And then the last day had already come. So we tried to make the most of it and went for a little brunch and then visited the famous flea market at the mauerpark. If any of you guys ever get the chance to go to Berlin, please please please visit this market. It’s like most Berlin thing you’ll see. For real. And then it was already time to bring my mum back to the airport.

.

So yeah, that was our weekend. Doesn’t sound like much, but it was really packed and really awesome. I loved every single moment.

.

Guys, I’d still like to talk about some other stuff. I know you’ve all probably heard about the terrorist attack here in Berlin. And yes, I’m alright. Actually before my dad had called me, I didn’t even know anything about it. After all those nice days with mum that really brought me back to earth, right to the ground. I was extremely shocked. I mean, terror isn’t something new, not this year (2016, we really need to talk). But being in like the same city, just a few miles away from the place of the attack is different. Too different for me to process it completely. I’m extremely sad for all the people who were affected by the attack and can just hope that next year will be better. I mean, we are all humans, we live on such a beautiful planet, why can’t we all just live in peace?

.

But christmas is coming, so let’s concentrate on the nice things, right? Anyways, I just wanted to thank you guys for being here and for reading my blog. You make me so happy, every single day of my life. I started this blog because I wanted to try it. I was curious. And I liked the idea of sharing the things I love and happiness with the world, with all of you. And I’ve loved it ever since. More and more every day. And let me tell you, 2017 is going to be a good year, a big one. I have a lot of things planned, a lot of them are just about to happen, so stay tuned. I hope you’re as excited as me. And until then, I wish you all the most amazing christmas and a beautiful time with your loved ones. Oh and if you want to, I’d be really excited to hear what you are all doing this christmas. I’m actually flying home today and I’m soooo excited, oh my god. So, I’ll “see” you all next week. Happy holidays and merry christmas. And as always, thanks for reading. x  hohoho

Ps: Snow is actually falling on my blog, how freaking cute is that? Oh my god

About Ray

Hola everyone.

I know it’s late. Very late, to be honest. But I didn’t have any time to write today, it was horrible. And after work I had to go christmas presents shopping and then I had to make myself some food and now I’m here. Anyways, I just wanna apologize for being so late.

.

I know you all probably expect a post about my weekend with my mum, but I thought I’d postpone that to Friday and tell you about a certain part of our time. To be exact, the day we went to the cinema and watched one of the most special and beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. And as you can all see at the title, I’m talking about the masterpiece “About Ray”.

.

Let me first tell you what the movie is all about. About Ray is about a girl or boy, who feels like she’s / he’s born in the wrong body. Since she was just four years old, Ramona felt like something about her just didn’t feel right. Fast forward to Ray, now 16 years old and desperate to start the gender transition. But exactly that, his age, is the problem. It means that he needs his family to be okay with loosing their daughter/granddaughter. Not to mention that his grandma still thinks that Ray should just be gay.

.

I guess you guys can already sense the drama and all the emotions. And I can tell you, there A LOT of emotions. Beginning with Ray, who just wants a normal life, a normal family. Then his mother, who never thought that she would loose Ramona so fast. And Rays grandma Dodo and her girlfriend Honey, who even live all under one roof. Oh and let’s not forget his dad, who left when he was just a little baby and now has to sign one of the most important papers of Rays life.

.

If you’re asking yourself, yes, I cried. Many times. And I had to stop myself, for real. The movie gave me such an urge to fully cry, the loud, sobbing, heartbreaking type of cry. And I think mum did too.

.

Apart from the unique and amazing story, the movie is turned into something perfect by the fascinating camera work – it’s actually more like some kind of art, so damn amazing – and of course the breathtaking actors. Elle Fanning is so real in her role as Ray and Naomi Watts as the mother is just mind-blowing. Mum said that she could really feel how hard she tried to let her daughter go and welcome her son. It was kinda heartbreaking, to be honest. Because of both sides, Rays and his mums. Oh and probably too because I watched it with my mum and this movie is all about mothers and daughters/sons.

.

I asked my mum later on if she would accept it if I told her that I felt like I lived a lie and wanted to change my gender completely. She said yes. And I am thankful for that. Because it is for sure a hard thing to say, even if it’s just hypothetically.

.

All in all, the movie About Ray was everything I expected it to be and so much more. I loved every second of it, even when it broke my heart. I think that’s the kind of story and movie everyone should get to know and see. Because it’s such an important and recent topic. So guys, I can really just recommend this movie to all of you. If you have the chance, please go and watch it. Please. And if any of you have seen it, what do you think about it? Did you like it as much as me? Tell me. And until then, sorry again for being so late, I hope you still enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Mum is here

Hola everyone.

Sooo, I just wanted to inform you guys that I don’t have anything to tell you… Okay, but seriously, of course I would have something, but actually I’m not really feeling it. Probably, and here comes the good news, because my mum is here. She just got here yesterday in the evening and will stay with me until Sunday, so we’ll spend the whole weekend together here in Berlin. I. Can’t. Wait.

.

I’m extremely happy that she’s here. And when she’s back at home, I’ll follow her shortly afterwards (five days after to be exact) and then it’s christmas already. Holy moly. Time just flies by. Crazy.

.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell you this guys and also that I’m of course going to take my camera with me the whole weekend so you can already look forward to some exciting pictures. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this very short post. Oh and if you want to talk, I’m here. And yes I indeed want to know what you’re all up to this weekend. Speaking of that, I hope you will all have great one. And as always, thanks for reading. x

Happy Mother’s Day

Hola everyone.

As you probably all know, yesterday we passed another Mother’s Day. And at least for me, that day is the perfect moment to thank my mum for everything she does and for the mother she is.

.

And I thought, why not tell you guys a little bit more about the most amazing woman I know? I know, we all say that about our mums and I think that’s exactly the way it should be. But I know that I’ll never get to meet a woman who can beat my mum went it comes to awesomeness.

.

So, as you can probably guess by now, my mum and I have a pretty good relationship. That means, that she’s not simply my mum, she’s also my best friend. Mostly because I can tell her everything, I can talk to her about everything, she’s always there for me and she can like turn off the “I’m being a mother”-system and just be a friend. Besides that we do a lot of things together, we travel every year, just me and her, we go to concerts and to festivals and go on adventures. And it’s always a huuuuuuge amount of fun. And I’m just able to collect a lot of good and exciting memories that make me smile every time I think back to those special trips and moments.

.

Apart from that I’m like the younger version of my mum. Seriously. She could call me “Mini-Me” any time. And it would be true. I think that’s because we are this close and I just kind of pulled her into my world and she did the same to me. That’s the reason why the protection of animals and food and nutrition for example are important parts in my life. And vice versa clothing and styles and trends and popular bands are topics that my mum is interested in. We influence each other. And it makes me very very happy.

.

So yeah, that’s my mum. Sometimes we argue, but that never lasts long. And one second later we are best friends again and function like one whole being. I know that I’m getting older and the day will come when I have to move out and go my own way without going home again after a few days. But I know that we will work everything out. Because we just fit each other perfectly and because we always worked everything out.

.

I’m just really really proud that my mother is such a great and amazing person and a role model for me. My goal is to be the mother to my children when I’m older that my mum is to me now. Because she raised me and I think she did a pretty good job.

.

At the end I really just want to thank her. For everything she does. For all the dreams and wishes she fulfills for me. For all the things she supports me in and helps me with. For the best friend she is to me. And for the mum and women she is. I would never change anything. And I will always be thankful and always love her. Until my last day.

I hope you enjoyed this post. I again want to thank my mum and all the mothers on earth who work their asses off everyday. You are amazing. Thank you. And thank you guys for reading. Happy late Mother’s Day. x
