Just a poorly drawn carrot writing about life and stuff she cares about
Personal history has proven the experiment of my life does not mix well with outside variables. Calvin Evans, in Lessons in Chemistry, on why he’s usually on his own I binge-watched the TV show Lessons in Chemistry a couple of months ago and it had me hooked – it didn’t take me more than two … Continue reading The Perception Deception
I’ve always liked the idea of travelling. Of other people travelling, to far away, beautiful places and having a wonderful time. It seems like a reasonable thing to do. Not at all uncomfortable or scary. I haven’t travelled much, compared to most of the people I know. When I was a child, my family almost … Continue reading Home (Turf) Girl
My most-read blog post so far has been the one with the title A Year of Dating, so I figured I’d do another post about my reality of dating. Full disclosure: I’ve barely dated lately (and not so lately), so I won’t be able to do a fun recap of what it’s been like. I … Continue reading On Dating (Well, Kind Of)
Ever since I started to come to terms with the fact that I have a limited amount of energy at my disposal most days, I tried to find a strategy to allocate my resources in the least frustrating way. As the simple act of choosing activities / tasks – e. g. what needs to be … Continue reading One Thing a Day
I seem to have fallen out of the habit of writing a little something for the blog every two-ish months and interestingly, I’ve been feeling guilty about it. That, in turn, probably exacerbated my not wanting to write anything new, as it ended up being something else on my to-do list, waiting to be taken … Continue reading Exhaustion / Hello Again
My (sort of) review of the Netflix limited series One Day (and how it made me feel personally victimised) ** SPOILER ALERT! Don’t read if you haven’t watched/finished One Day yet! ** Disclaimer: In this particular post, which is about a male character from a TV show, and in my personal experience, the F*ckboy is … Continue reading The Matter of the F*ckboy
I’m sitting on the carpet of my grandparents’ living room. I just came from a run and I don’t want to get dirt on the sofa – it had been raining and my clothes are muddy. I tell grandma about some work-related news that had made me sad. I tell her about my feelings, not … Continue reading Fragments
This time around, it took me longer than usually to get to the point at which writing stuff down feels imminent and necessary to me. The current world events make everything else seem utterly unimportant and completely unnecessary to be mentioned, so I didn’t dare to even think about writing and publishing a blog post.Until … Continue reading Debunking (My) Anxiety
I feel like writing, but I don’t know (yet) how this post will turn out. Sometimes I have a very precise idea of what I want to write about and then I just follow through and put it into words. Most times, however, I change course in the middle of writing or I end up … Continue reading Therapy Mondays
As you may have noticed when reading my posts (which I appreciate very much, by the way 🧡), mental health, introversion, the different types of human behaviour and personality traits, as well as personal development/growth are all subjects I’m more than a little bit interested in. Without exception, every book I’ve read – or should … Continue reading All the Feels
