Hello World!
this is me
& this is my first post here on steemit after I got introduced to this beautiful platform by my awesome flatmate @kekssideoflife.
I am 19 years old and I live in Berlin (Germany).
I recently had the luck to get accepted at one of Berlins greatest universities, the Technical University of Berlin .
This is a great opportunity for me to study one of my biggest interests: philosophy.
Why do I study philosophy? Well, as long as I can remember, I always felt different from the others. As an introvert, I spent a lot of time alone with my thoughts, debating about questions the others my age didn’t think about. Questions about life and happiness accompanied me as I grew up and so I decided that I want to learn how to think properly and how to ask the right questions - which is pretty much exactly what philosophy is about.
When I was 15 I got diagnosed with depression and later with anorexia nervosa. At this time I started to develop a strong interest in psychology.
I went through the internet a lot, searching for someone with a similar mindset. Talking to people who suffered from mental illness as well helped me a lot over the years. I found it very encouraging to read stories and experiences of people who were dealing with analogical topics.
And as my philosophy professor once said: it is absolutely important for humanity that we all share our knowledge. For this very reason I want to start this journey.
I want to be here for you and I want to share my story, my knowledge, my thoughts and my experiences with you. I would like to post about what concerns me. Also things that made me happy or upset, stuff that amazes me, art, music, poetry p.e. Things that happened to me, influenced my life in good or bad ways, stuff that came to my mind, things I don’t understand or finally understood, interesting content I would have liked or needed to read at some point in my life.
Thank y’all a lot for taking time to read my introduction. I hope you’re doing great!
Best regards, Ostkreuz
