I’ve always wanted a big wild garden with lots of nice flowers, bushes and trees that would all be useful at the same time. Berries all over the place and vegetables hiding between flowers that have medicinal and cosmetic properties, many different herbs, and everything concealed from the outside world by vines…
Well, for now I filled out a form for an allotment. It seems quite likely that I’ll get one, but I’ll only know by the end of April or beginning of May. Until then, I’ll try to cultivate some herbs in the apartment.

How I did it: I'm not a very resentful person in general. It takes a lot to make me upset for more than a day. Yet there were a few people who I thought I could never forgive. Or, even worse: I knew it would be a part of growing up to forgive them, but the sheer thought made me cringe and filled me with disgust. How could I ever do that? In the meantime, I moved away to build up my very own life. I managed to fix myself, to heal the wounds, to overcome… Read how I did it…
I can now produce the proper R for languages like Italian, Spanish and of course Finnish… most of the time. The problem is that it doesn’t always work while I’m actually talking to someone, or in certain words / letter combinations. So I’ll have to practice a little more when nobody’s listening. Still, pretty good for a German who couldn’t imagine how that was supposed to work at all just three years ago :P
Can’t seem to do that very special diet right now, but I’m trying to cut down on grains at least. In any case, taking up my food diary again showed me that I’ve had way too little of a couple of important nutrients. So now I got pumpkin and sunflower seeds, flaxseed oil and a Vitamin D supplement, and I’m monitoring my nutrient intake and energy level on fitday.com.
