Just a poorly drawn carrot writing about life and stuff she cares about
I feel like writing, but I don’t know (yet) how this post will turn out. Sometimes I have a very precise idea of what I want to write about and then I just follow through and put it into words. Most times, however, I change course in the middle of writing or I end up … Continue reading Therapy Mondays
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
Doesn’t every group of friends have at least one person that’s somewhat prone to drama? The one who always provides the juicy stories and experiences the weirdest, you-can’t-make-that-stuff-up type of situations involving other people, who regularly gets caught up in sitcom-worthy experiences? You know, the type of experiences that make you want to scream into … Continue reading The Perpetual Drama Subscription*
The past weeks (or maybe months) I’ve had the feeling that humanity, as a whole, is headed in a terribly wrong direction. To be fair, this has probably been happening for years, but I somehow no longer manage to summon the tiny ray of hope that we, as a society, could possibly still turn this … Continue reading Destination: Doom
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!
I’m feeling so much grief right now. My heart feels heavy, yet hollow at the same time, like there’s a gaping hole right above my stomach. Tiny cracks seem to stretch out all over my body, making it difficult and painful to move. I sometimes can’t find the strength, courage even, to just do things, … Continue reading My Heavy, Hollow Heart
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
[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
Are you one of those fellow humans that get tired of dealing with people every now and then? I know I am (and you probably knew that too, if you’ve been following me on here). Interacting with people can actually be pretty great. Almost all of my best memories involve at least one other person. … Continue reading Constant Tiny Heartbreaks
