Ginger tea and ARD

My love,

I'm sick, so I drank at least 3 liters of ginger tea today. Yesterday someone gave me the idea of starting a blog. Not a bad idea actually, I thought to myself. I always write a diary anyway, so I can let you know what's going on here. I arrived here on July 13th, 14 weeks ago. At the beginning I was a bit sad because I had the feeling that I was leaving the perfect life in Göttingen behind. Sometimes I asked myself why I was even doing this. I had EVERYTHING. I didn't have everything, but looking back sometimes it seems like everything was perfect back then. In the present, the past feels like a warm cloud of security. I once wrote that in my diary. The past feels like a bed and a warm blanket. And ginger tea. Göttingen was wonderful. I loved my life there. When I arrived here, I was of course alone at first. More or less. And the friendships I made at the very beginning didn't feel as comfortable and safe and beautiful as the ones I'd left behind. But now everything is different. 3 months is a long time. I have found such wonderful friends and am experiencing such great things. Daily. Göttingen suddenly seems so small and insignificant. I feel like I've come out of my bubble and it feels good. Maybe Göttingen was too safe. Too beautiful, too perfect. Maybe I needed something new, bigger. I love my Göttingen life and I love my Bogotá life. But more on that later. Never take a year abroad if you don't want to come back a different person. I think I remain the same person, but these experiences are so incredibly valuable. God, cliché come out. But unfortunately it really is like that. Oh, and another little series tip. I'm sick, as we all know. Please send me your get-well wishes in the form of vegan chocolate and Like-Meat products, my address is Cra 13A #26-78 (I changed 2 numbers because otherwise I'll get stalkers). Where was I. Series. I'm sick and have nothing to do and yesterday I found a really cool series in the ARD media library - who would have thought it? It's called "Zarah-Wilde Jahren" and I've already finished the 6 episodes. Unfortunately there is no second season, that's naughty. But if you watch the 5th episode, let the RAF expert tell you that the two of them were really portrayed so wrongly and badly. That's my only criticism of this brilliant series. Who would have thought that German television would sometimes produce something that doesn't have to be thrown straight into the bin. Have fun with it my habibis.
