Just a poorly drawn carrot writing about life and stuff she cares about
Schockelasrull? My non-Luxembourgish readers may wonder what it is – well, let me tell you, it’s pure bliss in the shape of pastry. The French call it pain au chocolat and it’s been a bit of a staple comfort food in my home ever since a friend told me that two of the grocery stores … Continue reading Schockelasrull
Doesn’t every group of friends have at least one person that’s somewhat prone to drama? The one who always provides the juicy stories and experiences the weirdest, you-can’t-make-that-stuff-up type of situations involving other people, who regularly gets caught up in sitcom-worthy experiences? You know, the type of experiences that make you want to scream into … Continue reading The Perpetual Drama Subscription*
If you want to read part 1 of The Social Heebie Jeebies, check out the post that I wrote almost three years ago. Before you read the following, you should know that it took me a while to finish this post, meaning that “last Sunday” isn’t necessarily the actual last one, since there’s been a … Continue reading The Social Heebie Jeebies, Part 2
Today, I’m going to write a little bit about something I may have realised about myself once or twice before, but that I somehow discovered again recently, and quite vividly so. I love it when that happens, when all of a sudden, the chaos finally seems to make sense (again) and the cloudy confusion makes … Continue reading Level Up
The past weeks (or maybe months) I’ve had the feeling that humanity, as a whole, is headed in a terribly wrong direction. To be fair, this has probably been happening for years, but I somehow no longer manage to summon the tiny ray of hope that we, as a society, could possibly still turn this … Continue reading Destination: Doom
The title of today’s post is more than just a little inspired by Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, a TV show that I recently saw a handful of episodes of. I won’t go into details about the show, nor will I tell you whether I like it or not. Zero spoilers ahead! What this post … Continue reading Curb Your Obsession
I was going to do another one of those easy-breezy end-of-the-year wrap-ups this month. But then life got in the way and things stopped being easy-breezy for a bit. And now I just don’t feel like it anymore. My wrap-up mood is gone, to say the least. Whoosh. In fact, despite all the really cool … Continue reading It’s a Wrap!
Does it count as falling off the waggon if I’m making a conscious decision? Am I weak for changing my mind even though no one, not even me, would have expected me to? Do I need to get my sh*t together because I’m not living all aspects of my life in such a way that … Continue reading Unpopular Opinion
I’m a firm believer in second chances. And third chances. And sixty-eighth chances. Even when I’ve been harmed, disrespected or treated in a way that I didn’t deserve. But there comes a time when even I see that it’s time for me to bow out. This doesn’t happen instantly – far from it, actually. It’s … Continue reading Honouring the Process
The other day, a friend and I were strolling along the streets of Brussels, having a conversation about everything and the world. We talked about mutual friends and acquaintances and at some point, about podcasts. My friend suggested that it could be really fun to create our own podcast, which is probably true. But then … Continue reading The ‘Thing’
