Just a poorly drawn carrot writing about life and stuff she cares about
I recently rode my bike to my parents’ house and, when I was ready to ride back home, I invited them to join me with their bikes for a small section of my ride home. My dad agreed and was ready to go in a heartbeat. My mom, however, refused to join us because this … Continue reading Like Mother, Like Daughter
*hums melody of the infamous Faithless song* It’s true. Sleep’s been evading me. I’m tired 24/7 but it takes me hours to fall asleep at night. Hours! And for the first time in the history of my existence, I’m not exactly sure what the root of my sleeplessness is. It can usually be tied … Continue reading I Can’t Get No Sleep
The other day I went for an after-work drink with friends at a “beach” (AKA a pile of sand dumped on the concrete in front of an office building) in Luxembourg City. We talked about how it’s considered normal to think about our work situation when asked if we’re feeling stressed because “being stressed” generally … Continue reading Choice Paralysis
Today’s Monday. Like a tremendous number of other people (and Garfield), I don’t like Mondays. It’s not even a regular Monday, it’s actually a day off. A bank holiday, as the British would call it. But still, I feel tired. To be fair, I didn’t get as much sleep over the weekend as I’d have … Continue reading Monday Struggles
It’s been about a year since I started writing down my thoughts and worries quite consistently. As a result, one of the many notebooks I’ve bought over the years (by the way, does anyone else love buying pretty notebooks even though their purpose is unknown at the moment of purchase..?!) is getting close to being … Continue reading Random Thoughts Collection
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
Do you know the kind of loneliness that hits you in the middle of the day? Not the one you occasionally feel at night when you’re home alone, but the one that strikes in the middle of an activity? No? Lucky you! In that case, like many of the things I write, the following may … Continue reading Lonely Times
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
In today’s blog post, I would like to get into a topic that seems to recur a lot in my life. I haven’t always been aware of it but in a lot of conflicts, assumptions are the culprit of an escalation. They go hand in hand with the absence of or insufficient communication, which often … Continue reading The Danger of Assumptions
[To anyone who might end up reading this, I want to stress that turning to alcohol as a remedy for anxiety is not a solution. Trust me.] Every now and then I love going out. I even need it in order to catch a break from my complicated life. “Going out” can mean many things: … Continue reading The Bliss of a Night Out
