*Reposted because I wanted to show you my working *Reposted because I wanted to show you my working space* So today I ventured (lol so dramatic) to get my new microphone from a package shop and I was drawn in by a cafe that appealed to my most basic being. Being that it was mostly pink. Coffee is okay and pastries decent too. But tables are perfect for working 👌 and the outside seating gives you perfect weekend morning or I am on holiday vibes 🌴 SAVE if you’re a Berlin local or for your Berlin trip 🇩🇪 .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #berlinmylove #neukolln #iloveberlin #filterkaffee #berlinlife #berlingram #berlin #speicherstadt #phillyphoto #berlinlove #streetsofberlin #ig_berlin #hauptstadt #liebedeinestadt #berlinsummer #bestofberlin #ig #käsekuchen #exploreberlin #berlinfood #berlinfoodies #weloveberlin #berlincity #bnw #visitberlin #foodblogger_de #germany #frühstücksliebe

[LINK IN BIO] 👩🏽‍💻🌴👣 “This blog when it was born was symbolic of someone wanted to know more of the world, knowing there were so many different versions of ‘life’ out there. Travel, these journeys, changed my view, my career, my relationships—and so my life. With the relaunch of the site, you can see all categories of the things I write about, so it’s semi-portfolio too. You can chose what content you want to consume, whether it’s about your journey finally moving abroad or you want itinerary inspo where you can travel deeper, or perhaps you want to delve into my poetry.”⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #travelinspiration #travelwriting #travelgram #ilovetravel #mytravelgram #instatravel #traveladvice #travelling #travelstories #traveltheworld #worldtravel #travelblog #tourism #photography #traveling #igtraveller #travel #travelphotography #instago #traveljunkie #nature #travelguides #wanderlust #travelbloggers #travelpics #traveldiary #travelholic #travellers #travelpic #travelphoto

Aasira had returned to the soil after what she saw Aasira had returned to the soil after what she saw, her stomach had fallen first, her whole body was frozen apart her heart that run amok inside her chest. She remembered thinking that it was the same feeling as when she had come across a pack of wild deer in one of their trips to the forest. At first she was frozen, drenched in fear, then she set the feeling aside. . Choosing stealth instead, she backed away slowly, one of the pack watching her, before it galloped off to find safety. This time, she hadn’t been seen, but she needed to retreat immediately. She repeated the slow backing away until she was as far from the scene and she instantly dropped, and writhed around in agony. . Unconscious of her body she had fallen on her side, and now wet mud pressed into her forehead, temples and the roots of her curly hair. She didn’t notice and began a hoarse cry. . To Aasira, that sound was haunting, it was the first time she had heard it come from her own mouth. She would, in her life, produce this sound again, with the death of her mother and once more with her father, and each time it would change her as a person forever. . But in the moment, right then, she wasn’t to know that, in that moment all she was to feel was pain. And through closed eyes she could still see it... . —FEARWELL . 📚 I was only in the forest for a while but I started imagining all these kind of stories in my head 😅 I REALLY enjoy playing with nature in my writing, and there’s more to this story too.
