Hi there, I am Stephan 👋

Went for the first run after ankle injury First sport climbing since the injury Working out almost every day Reading: ✅ Ender‘s Game 🤓 The Grapes of Wrath Finding an apartment in Frankfurt last minute

Read 1984 by Orson Wells, it feels eerily like a current account of Russian society Reading Slaughterhouse-5 by Kurt Vonnegut Long weekend trip to Gdansk

Learning React and appreciating how much better web dev is with it Attending a large scale in person event and being almost overwhelmed by the sheer masses at AWS Summit Good weather is here Watching a game of baseball at Tempelhofer Feld „What’s a human life? A short, vivid dream.“ After a long, long time: a sore body caused by a proper workout. It feels good to be physically tired Listening to the Very Bad Wizards podcast Reading 1984 Playlist of the month

I have completed two 48h fasts. Make sure to supplement electrolytes (Na, K, Mg). I had my first psychotherapy session. There is nothing wrong with seeking help when you’re not feeling your best. I had an osteopathy treatment. Physical therapy done right. I started writing down the highlights of the month. I got back into meditation with the Waking Up app. I started learning frontend development with React.

I was stuck halfway in a giant plastic-sheathed metal tube. Magnetic fields, currents and liquid helium were buzzing around in the machine and creating a threatening soundscape. Thank god, only my legs were trapped in the metal maw. Though, that was sufficient to give me the creeps. “Hold your legs still, please”, I remember the radiologist saying. And my legs promptly started to cramp. Was it the magnets or my own psyche struggling with this easy request?...
