Devious Journal Entry

Hey guys, how are you today? I was tagged by lovely to answer these questions here - so without further ado, let's start!


1. What was the best moment in your live?

That's a tough one, because I remember many. My best moments are probably those whenever I realize, how loved, blessed and happy I truly am. Life is great and I'm so glad that I can be a part of it. It might sound so dull and normal to some people out there, I'm sure, but life wasn't always enjoyable for me, so being in charge now and living my dreams is more than I could ever ask for. 

2. Where did you get to know your best friend?

On Twitter! I would have never presumed it to be possible, but we instantly (and literally) clicked then and there. It was amazing and certainly one of the best things that ever happened to me.

3. Which topic did you talk about most in the last week ?

Stressful university work and the heat, I guess. I'm usually not that obsessed with the weather, I promise, but last week it was terribly hot for a while, so I was literally melting all over the place ... But I kinda love summer, its bright days and clear, blue skies, so I wasn't really mad. Just a little drowsy and sweaty.

4. Do you watch/read/hear news?

Yes, all the time - it's my job. I work for a local newspaper.

5. If you are studying or have a job, why did you choose it? If you are still in school, what do you want to do?

I'm currently studying and have a job. I chose both, because I love language, reading, literature and journalism, so I desperately wanted to do something including that.

6. If you could change one thing in your live, what would it be?

I'd definitely change my drawing efficiency - I always want to draw and paint way more pictures than I have concentration or energy for. Changing that is something I work on a lot these days and hopefully I'll succeed in the future.

7. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?

I would want people to have more tolerance and empathy. I'm sure that many deadly conflicts on this planet could be solved much easier, if people would listen to each other and feel more. Ignorance is the curse of our race. I'll never understand, why people have the constant need to hate each other for being different or also underestimate animals, because they think they have more right to life than them.

8. You are in a room without windows or doors only light by a lamp on the ceiling. All you have is a desk, a chair, some empty sheets of papers and a pen. What do you do?

If the room had a door, I'd probably take a seat and draw for a while, but a room without anything but a lamp, a desk and paper? I'd probably freak out big time! I'm claustrophobic.

9. Are you happy?

Yes, I am. Nowadays I'm fine.

10. How does your Utopia look like?

I don't think that a Utopia could possibly exist, since everything in existance can have flaws. But I'd probably wish for a more peaceful, tolerant world, where people are more aware of their feelings, thoughts and deeds. World peace is a cheesy thing to say, but I'd like to be as close to it as possible. Violent death and violent destruction (yes, destruction isn't always violent, think of aging or natural decay) should be limited to a minimum. We do have the potential to create such a world. I don't know, why we don't use it.


Okay, you guys, so as I know that most of you don't like to be tagged, I'll force no one! But if you like to take part in this anyway, please answer these questions here:

1. What is it that you cannot live without?

2. Do you believe in something higher, a divine force or deity/deities, are you spiritual or agnostic/atheist?

3. What's your favourite dessert?

4. Which country or culture are you most interested in?

5. If you could choose to live in any time period there was, which one would you pick?

6. Which languages do you speak?

7. What's your favourite movie/book genre?

8. Do you have a pet?

9. What are you afraid of?
