Breaking free: The end of people-pleasing
Writing in the moment feels more effective. It gives me clarity as I watch letters and words form a story or paint a picture of what’s in my head. If I had to describe it, it’s like a jumble of threads flying around, almost like a four-year-old’s drawing. But when the words form a story on paper, it’s like an artist has drawn the picture. When I’m not writing, it feels like I’m avoiding confrontation. I’m an avoidant person when it comes to certain types of confrontation, especially those where I’ve been emotionally hurt.

Living as a lone wolf
It was only while drifting in a pool that I realized I had closed another chapter in my life. It’s time to write a new one. Even though this has happened several times and my bookshelf keeps growing, I still get a little nervous about starting again.

The difference now is how I approach this realization. In the past,…

The blessings in between
Remember me telling about those boxes i never fitted in? Op dit moment January ano ’24, hasn’t even ended yet… and here i am not feeling so alone in my box anymore. Zonder mee te doen aan al die zogenoemde goede voornemens gebeuren er goede dingen. Ik geloof niet in die goede voornemens, ik zie ze als een goed excuus te kunnen uitstellen wat je eigenlijk gister al nodig had. Don’t get me wrong ik ben ook goed in uitstellen waar ik gister al aan had kunnen beginnen. Ik plak er alleen geen nieuw jaar of maand aan. Anyway we dwalen af. What i do is putting my intentions straight…
