I think the world can sometimes feel materialistic cause we are constantly bombarded with messages and images that emphasize material possessions as symbols of success or happiness. We are told that we need to have the latest gadgets, designer clothes, or luxury cars in order to be fulfilled or respected by others. But when we take a step back and reflect on what truly matters in life - things like love, connection, creativity, and personal growth - it becomes clear that material possessions are only one piece of the puzzle. In fact, focusing too much on accumulating stuff can actually detract from our sense of well-being by creating unnecessary stress or financial burdens.

So I think it is important for us to challenge these cultural narratives about materialism and cultivate a deeper awareness of our own values and priorities. By staying connected to what truly matters to us on a soul level - whether it is through relationships, nature, art, spirituality or something else entirely- we can resist the pressures of consumer culture while also living more meaningful and fulfilling lives. 🌻

I think first,and then I act.Overall a born leader.I think there is common sense in everything.I'm not afraid of difficult work.Naive, spontaneous and natural, like a child.I manage to achieve what I want without resorting to open aggressiveness.Simplicity and lightness are my life motto.
I also have superb intuition.
I'm generally a fiery person.
And very straightforward.

I prefer to absorb knowledge like a sponge. Scrupulous, wise, a little economical, prudent, realistic, responsible and disciplined. I would prefer creative work, for example, a film director or clothing designer, architect, sculptor. I don’t really like being a director or boss. Because in our family it is customary that children do not give commands.

I am taught at home that you need to be able to empathize,although I rarely manage to do this.Eloquent and business oriented.Practical and rational.I love learning,but sometimes you need to be forced to do it from childhood.I am loyal to the opinions of people around me.At school I struggled to survive.And to be honest,I survived this struggle. Same thing now.

Da ich schon «Buffy» erwähnte – in den '90er Jahren gab es eine Reihe (eher mittelmäßiger) Bücher zur Sendung; eine amerikanische Ausgabe davon fiel mir vor einigen Jahren in die Hände. Die Interpretation des Textes war genial. Für die Überschriften hätte man die Buffy-Logoschrift («Kruella») verwenden können, stattdessen hat sich die Verantwortliche dafür entschieden, die Schriftart «Herculanum» zu nutzen, die 1.) im «Buffy»-Logo den Titelzusatz «The Vampire Slayer» und 2.) die Credits zu Beginn der Episode darstellte. Die für den Text verwendete Schriftfamilie war «ITC Berkeley Oldstyle», was in meinen Augen eine absolut geniale Entscheidung war. «Berkeley Oldstyle» ist eine in den '80er Jahren nachgestaltete Version einer in den '40er Jahren für die University of California Press gestalteten Schriftfamilie. Der Designer, Francis Goudy, orientierte sich nach eigenen Angaben bei der Gestaltung an Ausgaben der University of Oxford. Zeitweise wurde «Berkeley Oldstyle» auch unter dem Namen «Californian» verkauft.

Kurzum: Die Schriftfamilie ist historisch geknüpft an das akademische Studentenleben in Kalifornien, in dessen Zusammenhang «Buffy – The Vampire Slayer» spielt. In das Design der Schriftfamilie flossen viele Vorbilder aus der Renaissance, insbesondere Schriftgestaltungen des venezianischen Druckkünstlers Nicolas Jenson. Die Schriftfamilie kommuniziert zeitgleich den Coming-of-Age-Bezug Buffys, die zum Zeitpunkt des Erscheinens (4. Staffel) von der High School aufs College ging, und eine antike zeitlose Tradition, die wunderbar zum Vampirgenre passt.
Wer auch immer seinerzeit bei Simon & Schuster die typographischen Entscheidungen getroffen hat, wusste genau was sie oder er tat und war sehr wahrscheinlich (Stichwort «Herculanum») selbst Fan der Serie. Einen solchen Text stellt man nicht in fu.cking Amazon-Bookerly dar! Und außerdem liest man ihn genauso wie er gesetzt wurde – Zeile für Zeile.

---

Dasselbe gilt für das bereits erwähnte «Shadowhunters» - das Erscheinungsbild ist nicht nur passend (die 2001 in einer Ursprungsversion von der niederländischen Type Foundry Underware erstmals veröffentlichte «Dolly» ist prädestiniert für Young- bzw. New Adult Urban Fantasy und die Nutzung von Pterra als Logo- und Drop-Cap-Schriftart ist brillant), es ist als Ensemble Teil der Marke «Shadowhunters». Einen solchen Text überträgt man nicht in irgendeine E-Reader-Standardschrift.

---

Und wo wir bei dem Begriff «Marke» sind – ein noch viel eklatanteres Beispiel ist m.E. der «Diogenes»-Verlag. Ich habe überhaupt nichts dagegen, einen «Diogenes»-Text auf einem EReader oder auch auf dem Tablet zu lesen. Aber die Buchdesignentscheidungen sind bei dem «Diogenes»-Verlag so ausgeprägt, dass man hier beinahe nicht von einem Verlag im eigentlichen Sinne, sondern von einem Label sprechen kann.

Country. Because I never have to drive in traffic ever in my life. Can leave in the woods and still be 10-15 minutes from any type of store you would need. I'm an outdoors person, nature is just beautiful to me. Creeks and rivers you can swim in, they're plenty out here. Ever seen the night sky out in the country compared to the city? You can see everything including the milky way going across the sky, it's beautiful.
As I grew older, and the credit I was building by my behavior was actually positive, it was nice to move to a small town. Walking into a bank where the manager knows your name, getting greeted at the post office and not going through a hassle picking up packages, etc. Once, I even had a wallet returned to me because the lady recognized my picture from church. Mind you, there are less opportunities. My wife worked as a graphic designer for a bit, and demand wasn't terribly high or lucrative. Non-city life makes it a bit easier to be a part of the community. Bedroom communities. They're small towns that are close to large cities. Most of the people that live in these towns don't actually work in these towns. You get the feel of the community of a small town, people know you, yet you still have stuff to do that isn't too far away.
I generally have much more in common with city people. I also like concerts, theater, public transportation and good restaurants, and that really only comes with cities. I like visiting the country but have no real interest in that lifestyle.
Rural within easy reach of a city is ideal for me. I live in a city currently (for university) and I really struggle with sleep because there is always light and noise coming from outside, also I hate crowds. I'm from a small village originally and much prefer the peace and quiet, and the green countryside
Rural, because I was born in it. I've problems when I'm sleeping at friend's house because I'm used to the noises of the cities(and I'm talking about small cities <30k citizens), for instance my grandma had problems sleeping because they opened a railroad that passes almost 2km from our house, but you are able to ear it in complete silence. Also the idea to have a garden or to walk outside without the traffic, I feel like I'm in a box while being in cities like Milan.
Being in a larger city can be nice sometimes, but I would never live in one. I just find it too crowded, too hectic and very weird if you are just surrounded by city. I like small towns/cities, something around the 30-60k population mark. You have enough people there that the place isn't totally empty, but it's not too crowded, the city is small enough that can easily bike everywhere and the city is just large enough that you can do some stuff in it. I grew up in a city with around 30k people living there, and I just like the feeling there.

Thank you very much for your understanding in my direction! yes, indeed, I went to study as a fashion designer in the Crimea, I really like fashion, namely, to sew something myself. Thanks a lot. And also, I like to read interesting literature, it’s just that we have 3 am in the morning without two minutes, I can’t show the video.
I understood your language a little, because it is somewhat similar to Turkic.
Unfortunately, I don't look like this girl, and if it's you, then it's nice to meet you!
My mother is a Crimean Tatar, and my own father is from a small Ukrainian town in Hutsul Ukraine, but he has Jewish roots, or in a Jewish family, I can’t say for sure.
It’s night now, and I don’t sleep much, I’m thinking how to find such friends who didn’t get drunk on January 1, but for example, they would send me something cute and plush as a gift in honor of my birthday.

Ich glaube, ich habe dir genug Text geschrieben, um dir meine Liebe zu gestehen.
Und obwohl ich im Allgemeinen kein Moldauer und im Allgemeinen nicht einmal ein Khokhlushka bin.
Aber egal, was man auch sagen mag, ich sorge mich um dich.

---

Ich habe sehr gute Gefühle für dich.
Und glauben Sie mir, es ist nicht nur Freundschaft.
Ja, ich bin auf die Krim gegangen, damit die Leute mich nicht beleidigen.
Aber du weißt, dass du und ich sowieso zusammen sein werden.

---

Und weißt du, ich habe ein kleines Problem im Leben.
Ich leide unter schweren Depressionen.
Ich nehme Medikamente und nehme Tabletten.
Endlich Bescheid wissen!

---

Mein ganzes Leben lang habe ich meinen Vater geliebt!
Und jetzt hat sie sich einfach in den Lvov Batyar verliebt.
Ich würde gerne mit deinen Freunden befreundet sein.
Wenn nichts klappt, dann trinke Kaffee mit einem von ihnen.

---

Und ich habe tatsächlich als Designer an der Universität studiert.
Und jetzt werde ich meine schönen Sachen nähen.
Vielen Dank, dass du mich motiviert hast.
Jetzt um 9 Uhr zum Lernen.

---

Oh, und wenn der Winter auf die Straße kommt.
Vielleicht wird die Krim also an die Ukraine zurückgegeben.
Und wir werden immer bei dir sein.
Kaffee trinken und leckere Kekse essen.
