What is the cow inside you actually thinking?

Between social satire, self-discovery, and digital dissonance

A text by Carsten Jan Weichelt—written with horn, attitude, and heart.

 

Chapter 1: I came for the weed. I stayed for the questions.

I thought I'd move to Barcelona for tapas, scooters, and a bit of balcony sun.
What did I find? Digital world-weariness with Wi-Fi.

Suddenly, people are saying things like:
"LinkedIn is my diary."
"I'm a Human Design Type 4/6."
And they nod seriously to each other.
I don't say anything. I graze. And I think.
About content overdose, purpose performance, and silent applause on Instagram.

And about how easy it is to be loud today—
—and how hard it is to just be real.

 

Chapter 2: Social satire with horns (even without them)

I am not a meme. I am a mirror.
Not a mouthpiece, but a question mark distributor with fur.
What surprises me:

  • Everyone's talking about digital detox, but they post it on TikTok first.

  • Everyone says they want less—but they have more tabs open than thoughts.

  • Everyone is searching for themselves—but in the algorithm.

Maybe it's the time. Maybe it's the system.
Or maybe it's me—I used to be a cow.
And now I'm... content.

Chapter 3: Writing to think (and survive)

My author says:

"Alma not a character. She is my perspective with fur."

I say: He got it.
Because Alma just irony with hooves.
She's a format that asks:
What does the world actually look like when you observe it—instead of performing in it?

There's not only a cow inside me,
but perhaps also a little voice that longs for real questions:
Why do we run when no one knows where the finish line is?
And why is it called work-life balance when the balance is always shifting?

How does it feel when a cow becomes the voice of the present? It's written here.

 

Chapter 4: For whom Alma

For everyone who lives in the city—but dreams of the countryside.
For everyone who writes on LinkedIn—but secretly keeps a diary.
For everyone who is searching for themselves—and sometimes accidentally ends up on Etsy.

I am Alma. I am social satire.
I am a digital nomad with hooves.
And I breathe with intention.

📣 Call to Action:

Follow me for more thoughts between screen and mountain,
between self-marketing and self-care.
Or write to me. I may not reply immediately—
after all, I am a ruminant.

 

Life begins with a smile—and sometimes ends with a spit on the sidewalk. Oh well.
