Leaving on time

I had planned to call this post “My worst ride on the train”. No room for interpretation. But I remembered the name one of the ticket inspector gave me and I found it nicer. Then I realized it didn’t quite match my other berliner titles and I found it clearer. In the end, this post has 3 titles, thousands of detours (as much as twists and turns), too many useless brackets and quote marks, not enough vital digressions. A sort of raw porridge of what moved me for 24 hours. And I am spoiling the end in the process! It is starting as well as my ride! … More Leaving on time

Get off to a good start

This time, every clock is on time, every route is on road, I even have my printed and stamped ticket.

I didn’t miss my bus, even though it almost did miss me. At least for a stretch. Back to school’s fault. But, fortunately, my lucky star protected me and the autobahn ran in front of me to bring me back to Berlin despite almost failed delays and connections. … More Get off to a good start

Love Parade

Tonight, I am going to the most important date of my whole lover’s carreer (to this day). I am going to the date of the unknown: I don’t known if it is a new beginning or an end.

The Looking Glass

Tonight, I don’t recognize myself. Who is the stranger looking at me in the mirror? Is she me? I am not sure I am part of her body anymore… Yet, this body I am living in can’t be denied anymore. I am not allowed to ignore it, my body is more and more present by the minute. I feel like I am exploring new organs, new members, I am pierced by extreme feelings. … More The Looking Glass

Plane Mode

I haven’t hopped on a plane for 4 years, I haven’t crossed the Atlantic for 5 years. Until my trip in Berlin, my explorations had become more local. However, my Alaskan friend Hannah has asked almost every year when I would visit since then. I have had valid excuses for a while : covid, shutdown, vaccine, then lack of time and money… … More Plane Mode
