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

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

Level Up

Posted on April 3, 2022August 15, 20221 Comment on Level Up

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

It’s a Wrap!

It’s a Wrap!

Posted on December 14, 2021December 15, 2021No Comments on It’s a Wrap!

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!

The ‘Thing’

Posted on June 30, 2021July 3, 20212 Comments on The ‘Thing’

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’

Rambling Thoughts & Chronic Pain

Posted on March 13, 2021August 24, 20223 Comments on Rambling Thoughts & Chronic Pain

I went to bed about three hours ago – yup, at 9.15 pm – because my eyelids were too heavy to keep watching TV and I figured this would be a good way to catch up on some much needed sleep. Well, that train has officially left the station! After a few hours of tossing … Continue reading Rambling Thoughts & Chronic Pain

The Self-Optimisation Conundrum

The Self-Optimisation Conundrum

Posted on January 16, 2021February 14, 20212 Comments on The Self-Optimisation Conundrum

A friend of mine recently sent me the Buzzfeed article How Millennials Became The Burnout Generation by Anne Helen Peterson. As I started reading it, I noticed that it gave me a feeling of resonance that I had felt once before – yup, I had already read this. But even this time, there were certain … Continue reading The Self-Optimisation Conundrum

Yes, that is the title of a once popular song by Jack Johnson. It’s also one of the status updates I posted on Facebook back when regularly posting random status updates was still considered cool – unless it never was and I was therefore never cool.Either way, sitting, waiting and wishing is exactly what I … Continue reading Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Oh my, she must be very shy, the butcher told her mother when she was about four years old, after he had asked her a question that she didn’t answer. Her mother didn’t object.It was the day she learned that she was shy, and she kept believing it for a very long time. Relatives and … Continue reading The Power of Words

I recently rode my bike to my parents’ house and, when I was ready to ride back home, I invited them to join me with their bikes for a small section of my ride home. My dad agreed and was ready to go in a heartbeat. My mom, however, refused to join us because this … Continue reading Like Mother, Like Daughter
