Theres a group of ladies I meet w/reg. We have the most interesting conversations. I truly enjoy the company of these women & the diverse backgrounds and they offer. Düsseldorf wasn't my first choice, but I am grateful for this company of Frauen.

Finally made it up to the Rheintorm. Düsseldorf is a lot prettier from up there!

Looks like I'll be spending my Halloween in Amsterdam. I may be visiting Amsterdam a lot more often.

Listen, life is crazy, and the world is a very small place. I just spent the weekend with another Californian who now lives in Amsterdam. We went to the same University, the same festival for years, are both goth kids, and somehow didn't cross paths until we were both living in Europe.

I'm so stoked to have finally found a bar in town with the vibe and the drinks that make me feel more at home.

Ich habe meine B1-Deutschprüfung mit 92 % bestanden – jetzt habe ich mein Zertifikat! 🎉

Heute ist ein trauriger Tag, weil ich vor sechs Monaten meinen Hund verloren habe.
Es ist das erste Mal, dass ich mich an diesem Tag nicht völlig wie ein Wrack fühle.
Morgen ist ein sehr wichtiger Tag, weil meine B1-Prüfung stattfindet.
Wünsch mir Glück!

Es ist komisch, die kleinen Dinge.
Heute habe ich von „Die Kaiserin“ auf Deutsch mit englischen Untertiteln zu deutschen Untertiteln gewechselt.
Ich habe geweint, weil ich es auf Deutsch verstehen kann.

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

Quickly approaching the 5th month without my little dog in it. I passed the driving theory exam. The B1 language exam is right around the corner. Life is going on.

I honestly want to know when I stop busting out into tears. 4 months out, and I still cry every day. He was the love of my life.
I failed my first attempt at the German theoretical driving exam today. Coming close to the B1 language certificate exam.
June will mark one year in Europe.

It's been two months without you. It doesn't feel any easier. You were my constant companion, the love of my life. You were there through moves and breakups and new jobs. Through so many important life changes. I don't think I'm ever going to stop missing you.
