Actually, this post should have read “one last chance for Instagram”. I put it off for a few weeks and now everything has changed again. My time on Instagram is over.

all the projects I was involved in in 2024 and what happened behind the scenes. 

Sometimes it's important to just go. To simply follow the idea and break the rhythm of everyday life. 

And once again my life is upside down. 
I recently graduated from high school. Now my studies have started. Now I'm a full-time student in attendance. No more self-study and a new place, new people. 

About a year ago, I decided to start posting videos on YouTube. I preferred this form of content sharing to the short form content on Instagram. I uploaded fairly regularly, except for the two months since my last video. I needed a break. I needed some time to think about how I wanted to continue this journey. Below I will give you some insights into my insights and the reason for the long break.  

I knew it wouldn't be like this forever. One and a half days of school, self-study and freelance work as an illustrator. 
Now I graduated - and it will never be the same again. 

Last week I had my last exams and finally graduated. 
After all the studying and exams, I was glad to have more time for myself and my own projects again. 

Today it's not about drawing. As you may have already read, I'm still at school. 
Currently I'm in the final exam phase. That's why I've hardly had any time to immerse myself in a creative project over the last few weeks. 
The only time I've been able to draw is during a short break. 

Today I'm sharing a few little study tips that have helped me a lot. It's not necessarily about learning itself, but how you can take good care of yourself to cope with the stress and pressure. 

How it all started

I started my first Instagram account a little over two years ago. For the first time, I shared what I was drawing all day with the world out there. Now, after two years, I'm quitting again. Even though it has taken me further in my artistic development. 

We usually write letters to our loved ones. We write postcards from far away. We use letters to congratulate them on birthdays, graduations, weddings or births. We show love, sympathy, pride or offer comfort. We encourage and support each other. 

Writing a letter to yourself can feel very strange or unfamiliar at first. Perhaps the thought alone puts you off. But maybe it could also help you. 

Writing a letter to yourself can be a great tool for self-growth, healing, reflection, calming down and building resilience. I’ve collected some ideas you could use as writing prompts. 

A week ago I posted a vlog, just a summary of my week or what a week looks like. Not everything was in it, at least not everything. I forgot to film some things or I couldn't film everywhere. Before and after I wondered why. 
I mean, who cares how I work at home at my workplace, what I work on, what it's like to go to school and study. Why am I doing this? I've realised that I'm mainly doing it for myself. Because it's actually boring to watch the videos. They're just clips and I don't say anything. But it helps me personally.

I haven't posted that much in the last two weeks. Few stories and no YouTube videos. And above all, no blog posts for far too long. So here I am again, with a little update on what's been going on in my life.
