Just a poorly drawn carrot writing about life and stuff she cares about
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)
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
It’s been a while since I felt the urge to write, both on here and in my little notebook, which contains many of my unfiltered thoughts and musings. And, despite not having put pen to paper in a while, I’ve been feeling okay. Well, except when I *finally* caught Covid a couple of weeks ago, … Continue reading Long Time No Feel
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
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’
When I was younger, I thought that a connection with someone else could only be achieved in the absence of difference. I believed that I could only get along with people who think and act like me one hundred percent of the time. While it may be somewhat normal for the kid version of me … Continue reading Managing Difference
[This post has been edited since I first published it, because – like I wrote in this very post – words have impact.] Ah, honesty. The one thing we claim is the most important thing when it comes to relational contexts, I believe. Or is it just me?I have a ridiculously high tolerance for all … Continue reading [Edited] Honesty / Dishonesty
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
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)
