my name is sascha barthel, but you can call me isi. i’m 22 years old and i come from a complicated family tree. but the important thing is: i currently live in london all by myself. i’m from a very small town in germany, but that part of my story isn’t as important as it should be. at least, i don’t think so. i work as a journalist, but i also do odd jobs in some pubs on lonely nights till early mornings.

i’m an aquarius, whatever that says about me. i don’t know much about zodiac signs, to be honest, and i also don’t have that much of a interest in them. but if you do and have the time to tell me about it, i’ll listen. i’ve never had any issues with my sexuality, so there’s that.

i think i can be described as someone who exists simultaneously between 3 PM and 3 AM, which means that i’m either extremely hyped or in my feelings all the time. i romanticize the past and i have a tendency to get lost in daydreams, but i’m present when i need to be. if i had to choose one fact about myself among many others, i’d say that i like listening to music on the radio, ‘cause i like the static.

i never nap. i barely even sleep at night, let alone during the day. honestly, i’m like, an insomniac, or something. i don’t sleep easily, or well, when i do sleep. i usually wake up two or three times every night. sometimes it gets so bad i have to go outside and walk around in circles for an hour or so until i tire myself out enough to try again. that’s why i work at night, really.
