Sometimes you just need a getaway
Even if it's only a weekend... Hello there, long time no see. This is somewhat of a life update. I must admit that blogging isn't the first thing on my list in everyday life. Not because I don't want to, but because my creativity has completely dried up. Sometimes it saddens me. I used to write three posts a night, being completely immersed in the[...]
Sometimes things work out, and sometimes they don’t. And there is nothing I can do to change that
I went to the event, the one I wrote about earlier this year. As I walked into Schiphol airport on my way there, I was so excited. This was going to change my life for the better and (as everyone had told me) I was going to love this unforgettable experience. 20 minutes into the event though, I knew I was going to hate it.[...]
Getting some focus with a vision board
Ironically, my mind is always a mess, while my space is usually tidy. And when I say 'a mess', It means I want a million different things, I want them all now and I have no idea how to actually achieve them. So to channel my ambitions into something without going crazy, I usually create a vision board at the start of the year. This[...]
2017: The year of adulting
My baby brother was born. It still feels weird to realize I am not an only child anymore. Even after a couple months, it still feels like a whirlwind. I just hope it all settles down soon.

30 before 30
So, I'm turning 23 on the last day of 2017. And would it really be me if I wasn't overthinking what the future will bring and making lists about it? Every year I get a little bit older and there is more pressure to 'be professional' and having my shit together'. It's not really that people around me are telling me this, but I just[...]

attachment[uh-tach-muh nt]a feeling that binds one to a person, thing, cause, ideal, or the like You know that moment when a superficial friend becomes a close friend and you can really feel a deep connection? Yeah, I live for that shit. That conversation that makes you think 'wow, we get along so well, we're on the same wavelength and everything'.

Het moment dat alles goed gaat
Ik ben altijd een pessimist geweest, dat is ook wat ik meekreeg vanuit thuis. Het is mij nooit verboden om gelukkig te zijn, alleen werd sterk aangeraden om vooral op risico’s te letten en niet met je hart maar met je hoofd te denken. Ook al is dit niet per se slecht, ik merk daardoor wel dat mijn neutrale emotie vaak verdrietig of ontevreden is en[...]
