Melancholy
It is very hard to remember things for me, it has always been. I don’t recall a single time where recalling was not a struggle of mine: the teacher asking me to recall the discovery of America, my mom prying to know whom I met yesterday, my therapist questioning why I felt sad last week. …
My Love Media
I am a person who needs much self-expression and private space. It is perfect for me to share my true feelings freely on media without worrying too much about others.

WHY I LOVE MEDIA
As a media student, I’ve been asked multiple times what I love about media. However, I’ve never been able to find a simple answer to that. “Love” is such a strong word, it also involves so many other strong emotions, such as “anger”, “hate, “happiness”, and more.

I can’t really remember a day without media. From a really young age, I was always really interested in all kinds of media (except anything that involved lots of reading). I spent most of my childhood playing video games, watching YouTube or TV, listening to music or just hearing a trashy talent show running in …
Why I Love/Hate Media
Growing up, we got to watch the development of social media. Instagram became the new big platform in sixth grade for my friends and I, and it was a place for us to post silly pictures of things we liked or found funny or even sometimes things we thought were sad. It was like our …
A never ending love hate relationship
Media. I love you and I hate you. You are there for me when i am lonely, but you also make me feel lonelier then ever. You cheer me up when im sad, but are the reason for my depression. I learn things through you, but sometimes all you show is fake news. Some days …
