Day 01
I am Lena.
I still call myself a girl, although I think at the age of 26 you could call yourself a woman, but I feel like I'm not there yet. Part of me is still young, naive and innocent and actually I like it that way. I never wanne be all grown up, only making the most sensible decisions, missing out on so much fun. At least that's my definition of adulthood.
This may sound as if I was irresponsible and irrational, but I think I'm not.
One thing that made me grow up a lot was the birth of my son, when I was 21. He wasn't planned but I like to call him "the best accident I've ever made". He can be a pain in the ass, but I love him to pieces! He's the sunshine of every day in my life.
I was in a relationship with his father, when he was born and we were living together for a few years, until we split about a year ago. This was a dramatic change to my life as it came completely unexpected for me. While I was having a hard time coping with being a single mum and at the same time making my university degree I am now pretty satisfied with my life. Of course I don't want to be alone forever, but at the moment life is good. As for his father he is still in Ben's life and cares for him a lot. We get along quite well although I think we will never be close again.
I studied architecture and realized after a few years that I didn't want to become an architect. I was more than halfway done with my studies by then and decided to finish them. I got my degree last January and then started to look for a job which wasn't at an architecture office. Luckily I found a job at a graphic design agency which is great in some ways and stupid in others. I usually work 3-5 days a week, most times only until noon and can do a lot of stuff from home. So it goes well with being a mother. But I am not 100% satisfied with the work I do, I wish it was more creative. Someday I might go look for another job but right now I'm going to stick with it for a while. I feel quite stupid for complaining, there are so many people out there having no job at all, people who are willing to do ANY job and here I am thinking about self-fulfillment.
I was born near Frankfurt, Germany, where my parents still live and moved to a town not far away to study there. I am still living here, this is also where I work and where Ben goes to kindergarten. We recently moved into a small appartment, with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. It's really tiny but I like it here and feel at home.
I don't have much hobbies left, My days are pretty filled with working, doing chores and doing stuff with Ben. Back in the days when I was still in school I played theater at school and at the local theater which was not only fun but also made some money. Later I just couldn't find enough time and eventually gave it up. I like to cook and bake a lot and thankfully you have to eat a few times a day, so that's a hobby I won't give up ever. Apart from that I like to spend time with friends and family, read or watch a good movie from time to time and just stay sane.
