Journal entry | 31/01/2018 | 8:28pm I think life is really about finding the people who complete you. You can think that you can be happy completely on your own, and you can, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be happier. Humans are made for social interaction. We aren’t made to be solitary creatures. We…
Read MoreThe difference between nice and kind.
Nice is another one of those words, similar to ‘weird‘, that is used so often that it has lost its meaning. There are different words that would be far better fitting to individual situations that we should be using instead of nice. However, I don’t believe that kind is one of those words, as not every nice person is kind, and not every kind person is nice.

A new phase – Am I only scared because I’m comfortable?
I have been through quite a process to decide what I was going to do with myself this year. I’ve been set on multiple options and then changed my mind multiple times. Originally I was set on taking a gap year, but then I decided not to because I wanted to get into doing work…
Read MoreHow directly connected are artists to their art?
Today I wanted to discuss something that’s been on my mind a bit. And that is the question of: how closely or directly connected are artists to their art? Is an artist’s art a part of them or is it separate? When I’m talking about ‘art’, I’m using the term broadly, because I’m mostly talking…

Tonight’s wanderings and ponderings
A journal entry | 21/01/2018 | 9:55pm. I’ve always liked the idea of night walks but I don’t like to venture into the darkness alone. I just feel far too alert to be comfortable. But just another presence, even in silence, brings out the calm in the night and tucks most of the unsettled feelings…
Read MoreLearn to switch off when you sleep
Too often I end up multitasking when I’m trying to sleep. But sleeping and multitasking do not fit together. They are not part of the same puzzle. When I lay down and switch my world to darkness, I am telling my mind that it is time to turn away from the world and turn off,…
Read MoreThe only box you’ll ever fit in is your own.
So about four months ago I randomly met this boy in the city. He stopped me while I was walking to my bus stop and we started talking because that’s what people do. I found it fairly easy to talk to him and conversation flowed quite well considering this was our first time ever meeting…
Read MoreWhy I believe in fate
I have recently realised that I am quite a big believer in fate. I don’t necessarily think that this is a conscious choice, but just something inside of me that has always subconsciously been there. Now, I contradict myself a bit when it comes to what I believe in the ways of the world. What…
Read MoreWeird…
First of all, words intensely fascinate me. I don’t know why but I just find the etymology of words and how they evolve over time and the usage of words really really interesting. So.. weird. A weird word I must say. I was going to write this post about our perception of people and things…
Read MoreI fell in love with a bird (in a dream)
A couple of months ago now I ventured to the weird side of the river in a dream. I wasn’t aware there was a ‘weird side’ but according to the dream there is. I walked along the path beside the river and to the left side of me was a quite dark, mysterious looking forest…
