Dodgeball in Real Life (AKA Avoidance)

Dodgeball in Real Life (AKA Avoidance)

Posted on July 16, 2020August 31, 2020No Comments on Dodgeball in Real Life (AKA Avoidance)

Ah, avoidance – my constant companion and nemesis. One of the sources of my frustration and genuine interest at the same time. I used to love playing dodgeball as a kid and I was quite good at it, too. Little did I know that dodging / avoiding was a skill I’d carry with me well … Continue reading Dodgeball in Real Life (AKA Avoidance)

I Kid You Not, This Is Important!

I Kid You Not, This Is Important!

Posted on May 28, 2020June 1, 20202 Comments on I Kid You Not, This Is Important!

Pun intended! As a thirty-something year-old human being, I noticed that conversations tend to shift to the topic of kids – having them, wanting them, planning on having or not having them, relatives and friends having them, and so on – much more often than a few years ago. It took me a while to … Continue reading I Kid You Not, This Is Important!

De-Normalising the Normal

De-Normalising the Normal

Posted on May 4, 2020May 4, 20202 Comments on De-Normalising the Normal

[The following post was partly inspired by two books I’ve recently been reading, both of which surprised me in the best way possible. I can recommend them to women and parents of girls in particular, and to everyone else: – More Myself by Alicia Keys (contains valuable insight for women especially) – Untamed by Glennon … Continue reading De-Normalising the Normal

A Year of Dating

A Year of Dating

Posted on December 28, 2019January 23, 2020No Comments on A Year of Dating

To lighten the mood a little bit, I decided to write a post that slightly deviates from my usual, maybe slightly “heavy” writing style, inspired by a quite uplifting talk I recently had with a friend about all the weird, interesting and even funny things that we experienced while dating. While those experiences aren’t always … Continue reading A Year of Dating

Paradoxical Rambling

Paradoxical Rambling

Posted on November 7, 2019November 7, 20194 Comments on Paradoxical Rambling

I’m feeling a little bit off, experiencing an amount of discomfort that’s neither overwhelming nor negligible, but just enough for it to be prevalent throughout the day. Irritated and irritable beyond reason. In constant search of motivation. Fighting against myself along every single step I take. Antsy and tired, restless and in desperate need of … Continue reading Paradoxical Rambling

Why Is Nobody Happy Anymore?

Why Is Nobody Happy Anymore?

Posted on August 16, 2019October 14, 20199 Comments on Why Is Nobody Happy Anymore?

I feel like I’m surrounded by people who don’t seem to be happy. A lot of them are complaining about a myriad of things and seem disappointed by various life events or even life in general. I’m actually guilty of occasionally being a complainer myself − some days just suck, am I right? Given that … Continue reading Why Is Nobody Happy Anymore?

Scrambled Thoughts

Before I share my latest ramblings with you, I’d like to give you a little update on how I’m doing. I’m really happy that the number of people who read my posts is increasing (yaaaaay!), but some of my readers expressed their concerns about my well-being, given that the things I write about are usually … Continue reading Scrambled Thoughts

Hello Old Friend

Hello Old Friend

Posted on January 12, 2019January 18, 2019No Comments on Hello Old Friend

Hello old friend. I haven’t seen you like this in a little while. You’ve always been around, I know that, lurking in the corners and watching me from afar, waiting for the appropriate moment to come see me face to face. I haven’t missed you, to be honest. I like having you around in the … Continue reading Hello Old Friend

The F*ck, Universe?

The F*ck, Universe?

Posted on November 12, 2018February 11, 20194 Comments on The F*ck, Universe?

I’m really mad at the universe these days. I feel like I’m trying really hard and still, it doesn’t seem to be willing to grant me credit for my efforts. All it seems to be doing is get my hopes up and then crush them with such force that I’m left gasping for air, feeling … Continue reading The F*ck, Universe?

Just Life

Posted on June 29, 2018January 18, 2019No Comments on Just Life

I’m currently sitting at my office desk, having a little too much time on my hands. Things are slow and that gives me a lot of time to reflect on far too many aspects of my life. I currently feel like I’m just hanging in there, letting one day pass after another, doing the things … Continue reading Just Life
