girlhood

this week I felt from deep within how I love being a woman. having girl friendships honestly is soooo valuable. being able to be vulnerable and talk about all your feelings and never having to be ashamed of anything is truly beautiful. that's what the time with Julia and Meret showed me a lot. being able to have such genuine connections is really special. I think especially in an exchange it is very hard to find people with whom you can be just yourself. so being able to be silly and dancing around in the kitchen singing at the top of our lungs was a tiny moment that in our situation just meant soooo much. every evening we had a girls night. we would first cook and then we tucked ourselves in in my bed and knitted/crocheted or watched childhood tv series. and eventhough most of the evenings were the same, every single one just meant a lot and healed our souls. sometimes it's just the little things that make all the difference.
