Just a poorly drawn carrot writing about life and stuff she cares about
I wake up. It’s 7.19 am on a Saturday. I slept for 8 hours and 18 minutes, according to my Garmin watch, and apparently the quality of my sleep was excellent (which is a rare occurrence). I feel a little out of it, confused by the array of dreams I had throughout the night – … Continue reading (Un-)Masked
Have you ever heard of endometriosis*? Or adenomyosis**? No? Well, you’re not the only one. And yet, both of these conditions aren’t rare at all, with endometriosis affecting an estimated 11% of all women and those assigned female at birth. In reality, this number is thought to be much higher, given that many are still … Continue reading Mental (Over-)Load
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
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
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 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’
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
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
