5 facts about me

idreammylittledream tagged me to share random facts about myself. 

1. My favourite animals are bears, bees, birds and butterflies (not for the alliteration, that just happens to be a bonus) and I love most aspects of nature to the point where some people I know call it ridiculous.

2. My plans for the future include doing a volunteering ecological year after school (it is called FÖJ in Germany) and finishing a bee-keeping training.

3. I am an artist who has run out of relevant things to draw, so I am waiting for my inspiration to revive itself again (as it always does, sooner or later; later in this case)

4. I am honestly so self-absorbed! My own blog is my most frequently visited website on my laptop and my mobile phone and I use the words “I” and “my” far too often.

5. Since summer 2012, my personality has been developing a lot. I have been through dozens of phases of obsession over far too many things that would eventually turn out to be irrelevant, but all of this has (obviously) shaped my character and I am happy to say that I get the feeling of finally coming to peace with myself and the world (goodbye, existential crisis that almost cost my life last autumn)

If you read this, congratulations! You have just been invited to share 5 facts about yourself!
