  • Life has its ups and downs. Some chapters end, some people leave, some relationships break, and sometimes we find ourselves starting all over again. ❤️‍🩹 I really thought I would stay in this version of myself forever. I thought I had finally figured it all out. But life had other plans, and once again, I had to grow, change, let go, and rediscover myself. And maybe that’s the beauty of life: we are not meant to stay the same forever. We are allowed to outgrow old versions of ourselves, even the ones we once fought so hard to become. One thing I keep learning is that self-love is not egoism, and it’s not narcissism. It’s knowing your worth without believing you’re worth more than others. It’s having empathy, understanding people, and being kind — but also knowing where to draw the line. You can love people without losing yourself. You can understand someone without accepting everything they do. You can have a good heart and still have boundaries. You can forgive and still walk away. You can care deeply and still choose yourself. Self-love means knowing that your heart matters, too. ❤️ So, no matter how many times life makes you start over, how many times you fall apart or have to rebuild yourself, don’t forget to come back to YOU. Be kind. Stay empathetic. Keep your heart open. But never abandon yourself just to keep someone else comfortable. And most importantly, never forget to love yourself — in every version, through every ending, and with every new beginning. ✨🤍
  • Last weekend, I got to experience a little piece of Japan in the heart of Berlin. 🇯🇵✨ At the Yusen workshop at Manifesto, I immersed myself in Japanese culture through music, creativity, and beautiful little moments that made me slow down and appreciate the experience. After living in Europe for so long, it felt special to reconnect with a culture that always fascinates me, discovering something new along the way. And of course, the perfect ending to it all? A cup of matcha. 🍵💚 A little cultural escape, a lot of inspiration, and memories to keep.
  • ✨ Berlin Neukölln — a place full of faces, stories, and creative energy. Spent my Saturday exploring a gallery opening and was reminded once again how inspiring this neighborhood can be. From creative cafés and hidden bars to art spaces filled with fresh perspectives, Neukölln is a world of its own. 🌍🎨 A multicultural mix of people, open minds, unexpected conversations, and different ways of seeing life. I left feeling inspired by the people I met and the energy they brought into the room. Because creativity is more than art — it’s a way of connecting, expressing, and reimagining the world around us. Creativity is power. And Berlin has plenty of it. 🖤 #BerlinNeukölln #BerlinArtScene #CreativeBerlin
  • There’s a beautiful Japanese idea about fate — that some people are not simply accidents in our lives. That perhaps certain souls are meant to cross our paths. Not always when we expect them. Not always in the way we imagined. And certainly not always to stay forever. Some people arrive to heal something in us. Some arrive to teach us a lesson we didn’t know we needed. Some break our hearts, only to reveal a strength we didn’t know we had. And then there are the rare ones who remain. Through the beautiful days. Through the difficult ones. Through misunderstandings, growth, distance, change, and all the versions of ourselves we become along the way. Those are the people I believe are more than coincidence. Maybe our souls recognize certain people before our minds understand why they feel so familiar. Maybe some connections were never meant to be explained. Only felt. And maybe the people who are truly meant for us aren’t necessarily the ones who never hurt us… They’re the ones who, despite everything life puts between you, somehow keep finding their way back to your heart. 🤍 #europeanlife #japanese #thoughtfortheday
  • 🏃‍♀️💨 Berlin Marathon energy! 🇩🇪❤️ Cheering on all the incredible runners at the Zalando x adidas cheer zone with Sara! 🎉🙌 So much energy, music, smiles, and motivation — what a fun day! 🥳 Huge respect to everyone who ran. You were amazing! 👏🔥 #BerlinMarathon #Zalando #adidas
  • This festival was in July😅 but I wanted to upload now. Latin food and dance festival: food I wanted to try more but it started raining unfortunately, so we went to cafe. Dance was not my thing so I just looked at them. I want to eat real good Latin food so please let me know a good Latin restaurant 🌮 I tried Colombian food for the first time at Cali Papi, and it was really good! 🇨🇴😋 I also bought pão de queijo and a caramel bomba to take home — both were so good 😊 The caramel bomba even reminded me of sweets I used to have in Japan. I wanted to try the tacos and quesadillas too, but the queue was long and then it started raining heavily 🌧️ So I went home before I could try more. I guess I need recommendations for the best Mexican restaurant in Berlin! 🌮 Please comment below: 👇
  • Pour into yourself first. 🤍 The more you learn to love yourself, protect your peace, and honor your own needs, the less space you’ll have for people who constantly drain you. And sometimes, when you start choosing yourself, certain people will walk away. Let them. Don’t be afraid of losing people who only had access to you when you were abandoning yourself. Not everyone is meant to stay. Some people are only meant to teach you what you will no longer accept. And when you truly start loving yourself, you create space for the right people to find you. Good people will walk into your life—people who respect you, support you, and add to your peace instead of taking it away. Choose yourself. Love yourself. Protect your energy. And never feel guilty for walking away from what no longer feels good for your soul. ✨ The right people won’t require you to lose yourself to keep them. Today, I went to Fotografiska Berlin with @sareg_im_wunderland it was inspiring ♥️ Thank you
  • I woke up early, got through work and physio, and then met up with friends who made the day brighter. Their company gave me that feeling of ease where the conversation flows and time just disappears. Nothing huge, just kindness and good company, but somehow that made my day sparkle.
