  • ✨ 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. 🖤

  • 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. 🤍

  • 🏃‍♀️💨 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! 👏🔥

  • 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.

Avocado club and Latin point

  • Sometimes, the wrong person can make you question everything about yourself.

You start wondering if you’re not enough, if you’re asking for too much, or if there’s something missing in you.

But the right person won’t make you lose yourself trying to be loved.

They’ll remind you of your worth. 
They’ll bring peace where there used to be anxiety. 
They’ll walk beside you instead of making you chase them. 
They’ll make love feel safe, not like something you constantly have to earn.

And maybe losing someone isn’t always a loss.

Sometimes, letting go of the wrong person is the beginning of finding your way back to yourself — and eventually, to the kind of love you truly deserve. 🤍

Don’t mistake familiarity for love, or anxiety for connection.

The right love won’t leave you wondering if you’re enough. 
It will make you feel grateful that you never settled for less. ✨

  • Two museums, two completely different worlds — Hamburger Bahnhof and the Samurai Museum in Berlin. 🎨⚔️

And somehow, they reminded me of something much more personal.

I don’t want to compare my journey to someone else’s.

There will always be people who are ahead of me, doing things differently, or achieving things faster. But their path is not mine.

So I’m learning to look at what genuinely inspires me, what makes me curious, what I enjoy — and where I want to go.

Not trying to be better than anyone else.
Just trying to become a little more myself.

Focus on what I like.
Focus on what I want to achieve.
And keep going, at my own pace. 🤍

Maybe that’s enough.
