  • I grew up speaking Slovenian and Croatian but then moved to Germany where I went to school. Later I immigrated to the UK and learned English which I speak fluently as well. I found that my dreams tend to be in the language of whatever country I live in after a while. I can sing really well in Slovenian and Croatian but not in English or German despite knowing songs in all the languages. I keep a journal that is written in English but when I want to be really expressive I use Slovenian. When I talk to family back home, my friends say it sounds like we are arguing, but it is just how we talk with a lot of passion. My personality changes a lot with a different language.I am more serious and together feeling when I speak English. I have found that languages hugely impacts culture and how people behave or don’t behave respectfully towards others., hence the purges of all words from every government document mentioning DEI.







  • I like the story of Prometheus. He is one of the few Gods who cared at all. I dislike any involving Zeus and his shenanigans with women, mostly because of a book of Greek myths I was given when I was 6. In it, it tells of him kidnapping various women and they ending up with his offspring and his wife’s ire.All illustrated with graphic classical paintings.

    I was terrified for months that if I as much as looked at a bull or swan wrong he could come and get me. I had nightmares, and then the nightmares got the stories more mixed up in my head. It got better eventually but left me with a very personal dislike of Zeus.
