I am Johanna von Kielmansegg and have just completed my Bachelor's degree in Biology. I am fascinated by our world and the people on it, and would love to be able to live ten lives in parallel.
Curiosity is a value that guides me in life.
To me, curiosity means taking an active interest in the world around you and in yourself. It encompasses not only a joy for learning, but also a fundamentally positive outlook on life. Curiosity believes in finding something new and positive in all things, both known and unknown, that is worth seeking out. In a social context, however, curiosity is also an unconditional interest in others, placing understanding before judgment.
Lightheartedness is a value that challenges me time and again.
I sometimes find it difficult to view the world with the lightheartedness with which I would like to move through life. I often overthink decisions, myself, other people, or the world in general. I sometimes find it hard to gain perspective and assess the true weight of a matter.
Appreciation is a value that our society should embody more.
In my opinion, experiencing appreciation is a basic human need and one of the cornerstones of human coexistence. Especially in times when many people wish for more community and understanding, we can achieve a great deal through active appreciation.
