about me

My name is Julia. One would say that your name does not tell anything about who you are. I have come to believe that this is not true. I have tried to use my second name for a while and after a serious identity crisis after only two days, I asked to be called by my name again.
The name "Julia" exists in all cultures I have come to know so far and usually, people react with openness when I introduce myself. It is a classic name which has been used throughout the years alongside many trending names. I can really relate to the dissociation of time and personality. I believe that we live in phases that are not linear: during your life, you will probably live some of them:
  • being immature and dependent
  • coming of age
  • discovering and accepting your core character traits
  • becoming physically fit through nutrition or sports
  • being in a provider role, e.g. as parent, management position, friend
  • trying out all kinds of shit, going wild
  • going steady - relishing in routines
  • becoming dependent

How did I get here? I wanted to talk about me. I see some philosophical notions and some organizing/controller traits here. Observant. Curious. Caring. Those are descriptions that I would like to be associated with me. If people perceive me that way, is up to them. So let's continue with some more facts.
I am a musician, mainly singer and lazy guitar player.
I have studied marketing and communication, worked as a freelancer and self-employed doing consulting, training, organization and project management, translations, interpreting between people that usually don't communicate with each other, be it for language, skill set or interest conflicts.
I'm a defender of a non-monogamous lifestyle, you can label that as polyamorous, liberal, promiscuous...it really is hard to define. I will talk about my love adventures as well, so you will get an idea about who I am in this aspect.
All righty, if that didn't satisfy your initial curiosity, let me know what you want to know and we'll take it from there.

Can we reprogram our world?

The other day, a thought poppped into my head: what if we could use the current global crisis to take a time to re-think, re-structure and re-program our world? If the world was an organically grown software, what would the specification book look like? How could we reprogram it to meet current needs without depending on long overhauled structures and dependencies?

My December: Thailand!

Yay,  I finally finished my video on my trip to Thailand with my sister! It was quite an experience. I had not done a backpacker trip like that before and it was to serve me as one of those trips where you step out of your comfort zone. As I don't want to bore you with many details, I will show you the video instead: Funny how in the end, I am left with only the good memories. Right after the trip, I dreaded the moment when people would ask me: "So? How was it???" Because honestly, it was not as cool as I had imagined from what people had told me. It was colorful and people were friendly, that part is true. But the backpacking? Well, I'm not a backpacker. I know that now. I don't like to pack and unpack my things every other day. My mood shifts drastically with every hour of transport I have to undergo in order to reach the next place. Travelling with my sister was a new experience. Although we had lived together in a shared flat as adults in the past...

Hospital visits

Today, we visited grandma in the hospital. She's been there for a few days now. It started out with a respiratory problem about two weeks ago which didn't really go away. I didn't understand what the real cause for being in the hospital was, but at least I know that her results did not show any serious infection or illness and when I was there, she could talk to me and even have a laugh. After having been there with her, we were talking about stays in hospitals and how important visitors are. Or rather, if being in a hospital should be a reason for visiting somebody. Obviously, it's nice to have visitors, especially when you're in a place you don't know and on top of that need to share with sickly or seriously ill people. It sure is not a very health-promoting environment, so having someone there who will distract you is appreciated. But I thought, would I appreciate seeing people I usually don't see or hear from, but who will only come in a special situ...
