What? A narcissus on Instagram?😂 Should I tell you a secret?🙃 I found most of you based on certain criteria. An essential criterion of this is authenticity! As a nature lover, I like real people. You do without this whole idealized self-portrayal. That is why I like you very much and you may also like yourself very much!💖 Actually, this beautiful flower doesn't deserve it's name. Fortunately, it can also be called daffodil.☝😏 Narcissism is an addiction to yourself. The pathological desire to give yourself love because it doesn't come from the outside. Narcissistic people therefore often feel alone and displace their own self.

Self-love, on the other hand, is the acceptance of your own personality, the acceptance of what and how you are. It means trusting yourself, respecting yourself and appreciating your own worth. Self-acceptance plays a crucial role in this.

I am an introvert man with a flowery nature and that is exactly what I am good at!😊🌻

"The Coronation of the Old King" 👑 ⠀ ⠀

Yesterday, shortly after sunrise, the third highest mountain of the Taunus, the Altkönig ("Old King"), shone in an unusual splendor of colors.😍

In Christian culture, the snail has been used as a symbol of the deadly sin of sloth. In Mayan mythology, the snail is associated with sexual desire, being purrsonified by the sexy God of Annual Misfortune, called Wayeb. I must say it feels very good how my baby slides on me! 😶🐌💘

Small piece of coprolite 🐊💩 A coprolite is fossilized feces. It gives evidence for the animal's diet. I got it as a gift a few years ago. It's from the United States and it's labeled as "Dinosaur poop". But that doesn't mean that it comes from a dinosaur. Maybe there is someone here who can tell something about it?🙃

Gagagag! 😝😝😝 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Just a bark-eating zophoba beetle. In addition to isopods and springtails, they take care of the cleanliness of my corn snake terrarium. They cope better with the conditions in the terrarium than isopods and springtails. In the nature of their Central and South American homeland, they feed on guano from fruit-eating bats. In my terrarium they eat undiscovered remains of my snake. However, you should make sure that the zophobas don't take over. They could become a stress factor and life risk for the main residents. The larvae also like to eat styrofoam, from which many back walls are made. They eat almost everything! That's why it's important to keep an eye on it. Since zophobas pupate only in isolation, there is only a small risk of overpopulation (depending on the interior). Also, the larvae from the terrarium shouldn't be fed to other animals because this could spread diseases. If you notice that they become too many, you can put wet pieces of bark in the terrarium. An hour later you collect the bark together with the larvae and kill them friendly in the freezer. The easiest way is to collect the adult beetles and allow only a few to lay eggs. Because of these peculiarities, I cannot fully recommend it, but I have had good experiences myself. We're all pioneers with different experiences.

The "Trip Trap Layer Cake", created by the moths of my fur.

Today I sent another cheek swab to the DKMS ( German Bone Marrow Donor File, @dkms_de ).🤗 I was asked to do because they need to know if I was infected with the cytomegalovirus. This is a herpes virus, harmless to healthy people, but quite dangerous for weakened people, such as leukemia patients.
I registered as a stem cell donor 14 years ago. At that time, it already worked very simply with cheek swabs. You could easily order a set at home. The tissue characteristics are stored in a database and compared with patients who are waiting for a transplant. So far there hasn't been a sufficient match, so I haven't yet been asked to donate cells. If someone needs my help, I'm there!🙃✌ ⠀ ⠀

(You aren't a bad person just because you don't! Tissue characteristics are sensitive data. I just want to raise awareness.)
