Poetry Gives Me the Freedom to Express Myself with Words
Since this month, I am so much more in fond of writing poems. I discovered so many more – to me – new poetry forms, from Japan to Italy to Nobodies-Land. I am so excited to discover all of them, and put all my creativity, emotions, feelings and thoughts into them and publish them, letting you know about it. Sharing these things makes me happy.

The Importance of Being Yourself
Many times – in my life – I have been asked to do something against my own values. Something I never wanted to do. I just did because anyone else told me. After all, it was fun to do. It was hilarious to do, and then that threatened me. I didn’t want a scene and went along with it. I went along because I was afraid of not being liked for saying no.

The Little Rabbit Violinist Became an Angel and a Devil
The Cellist Friend was so surprised, and He thought He turned his friend back into The Little Violinist. Unfortunately, the magic spell didn’t work out — again. The Little Rabbit Violinist — yes, He became little again. At the same time, He felt heavy things on his back: ‘What could that be?’ That was the thought The Little Rabbit Violinist had. He walked a little bit while His body bends to the front. He tried to stand straight, but it didn’t work out because his back was so heavy. There was no mirror.

A New Wardrobe Is Not Everything
I walked through the school, wearing low high heels, brown, straight points in front, and soft materials. I just got these shoes new. It was my birthday that week before. I loved walking in those shoes. I never thought about how to pair those shoes with good-looking jeans, or any other clothing pieces.

Ego Is The New Humanity and Taking Over Personal Space. Is It?
I stepped onto the second train — with my oldest descendant — to pick up her two youngest siblings. We had to transfer the train to Utrecht, The Netherlands, to travel to Zwolle. The first train stopped at all train stations. The second train we needed in Zwolle was an intercity — which stopped only at the main cities and big towns. We had a few minutes of transfer time. It was not occupied, on the train.

Does My Fear for Death Exist? — Fear for Death Is My Psyche
With the pandemic still going on, Germany would be the best option to go on holiday. Germany is also one of my ultimate countries to go on holidays. The decision I made: I booked a holiday at two destinations in Germany. I booked holiday homes in the Eiffel, Germany. In the mountain, I could walk there. The mountains here are not high enough as my husband wants. Also, I could walk through small villages to see their beauty. I love that. I was beyond excited to go on holiday.

Sorry Music That I haven’t Been Nicer To You — You’re More Than Worth It
I took my bike, and I put my violin on my back. I also put my music stand in the basket of my bike. I was a little bit nervous when I closed the gate of the garden. Somehow I felt like having butterflies in my belly. I started smiling when I closed the door of my garden. I was beyond excited to play the violin with others again. I stayed smiling during the first part of my cycling trip to the outbuilding of the church.

Parents Don’t Get Paid — It Is the Biggest Job in the World
I said it to him: “I didn’t get my period last month. I think I am pregnant.” We did the dishes together when I spoke those words. We were a little bit silent. We didn’t know what to say to each other. “I keep the baby,” I said to break the silence. “I want the baby to know his or her father,” I continued.

I Was 18 When I Got Pregnant — I Was Terrified To Tell My Parents
I wore my red shirt, my belly grew, and often I wore my grey Oxford sweater my partner gave me when I was pregnant, one size bigger from being pregnant and wanted to wear it a million times during pregnancy.

How To Do An Interview
Do you want to interview someone for work, like the newspaper, magazine, online platform, or do you have to interview the next job candidate?
