Long Time No Feel

Long Time No Feel

Posted on December 7, 2022December 31, 2022No Comments on Long Time No Feel

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

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!

Unpopular Opinion

Posted on September 26, 20212 Comments on Unpopular Opinion

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 ‘Thing’

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’

Managing Difference

Managing Difference

Posted on June 5, 2021June 10, 2021No Comments on Managing Difference

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

[Edited] Honesty / Dishonesty

[Edited] Honesty / Dishonesty

Posted on February 14, 2021February 25, 20212 Comments on [Edited] Honesty / Dishonesty

[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

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)

It’s All About Love

It’s All About Love

Posted on October 10, 2019October 14, 20191 Comment on It’s All About Love

Last night I was reading Brene Brown’s latest blog post and it struck a chord. She wrote about the lovelessness in the world and how we have to “live love to give love”: Doubling down on love demands that we be brave enough to straddle the tension of staying awake to the struggle in the … Continue reading It’s All About Love

The Attachment Pandemonium

Posted on June 3, 2019December 27, 20192 Comments on The Attachment Pandemonium

About a year ago, my main text rant buddy introduced me to the notion of attachment theory by recommending an audio book with the title “Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How it Can Help You Find – and Keep – Love” by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller. I was sceptical at first, … Continue reading The Attachment Pandemonium
