The Past Into The Future – When You Unexpectedly Bump Into Your Ex
Walking on the sidewalk, with her phone in her hand, holding her bag with the other hand, it is difficult to see who is coming her way. She was e-mailing one of her clients, which was a very important task to do since she became one of the best violinist in the world and there is no management who is willing to help her feed her career in the right direction, so she does everything alone until today. These managements don't believe in her approach of entrepreneurship.

Consistency In Parenting
For a short time, I am a supervisor at the school of my daughters. There are two groups; group 1–4, and group 5–8. The last group is very difficult. This is because they are trying to belong to a certain group as they are searching for who they are. Also, they try to do what other children say them to do because they don’t want to be bullied.

Feel Free To Live Your Life
Feeling free feels amazing. I felt it a few times. Not every day. But that is fine. There were a few events in my life that happened, and that I don’t feel free, and didn’t feel free. So, I built a wall around myself. Only those I trust I will let in. Even then, I am really careful they won’t betray my trust.

These days, there are so many social media platforms that I can't see the trees through the woods anymore. Twitter is one of those social media platforms that his own way on how to use. It is not like Instagram or Facebook. It is something you use as seeing comments, short stories, or anything short written. I like that. It is like a short note or a short

2000 Years From Now — How Does Life Looks Like?
Recently, I had a conversation with the family about the past and what it was like in our neighbourhood in the period of Romans 2000 years ago. This conversation came up because I found a flyer about a little history of the Limes, where my village is also a part of, and a brief history of that part. My village, Bunnik, The Netherlands, exists for more than 2000 years during the Roman years. They have lived in my village, or at least the place where my village lies.

Classical Music Playlist You Must Listen To and That Inspires You
Listening to classical music can make you as relaxed as energetic, as well as being involved in a very emotional state. I love listening to classical music, as well playing the violin. My passion for classical music extend as much as I listen to (new) music and recordings. Why does a musician play the way he or she plays? What feeling(s) do I get? And I can ask myself many more questions, but overall, I love making my own playlist, whether it is on YouTube, Spotify, or any other streaming platform.

Where Will Classical Music Be A Hundred Years From Now
As a fanatic classical music fan, I want this music genre to exists forever. And that it won’t stop. It must be told generations from now on. And I think that people, these days, don’t even know who Mozart is, or Beethoven, Vivaldi, or whatever composer on earth there is.

Goals and Resolutions - Being a Better Violinist
As long as I can remember I play the violin. I am not a professional, but I can say that I play very well as an amateur. Once in my life I did audition for a conservatory. I wanted to be a professional violinist. Not an orchestra player, but a soloist, standing in front of an orchestra. Playing the greatest works written for violin and orchestra.

Three Good Deeds To Show Your Children
When you are raising children, you are looking for tools to provide to them and guide them through the world, let them grow, and be the human being they want to be. Sometimes there are moments that you don't know what you are doing, what values you should take in situations you have not been in before while parenting. Keep in mind that it is fine to rethink values through the parenting process. We are all human beings after all.

Open Letter To Donald Trump
In the last ten years I considered going to the USA once in my life, because the country has beautiful areas to go to. I love seeing new surroundings. As I didn't have any money to go yet, I have reconsidered going to the USA. Not because I don't love nature in the USA, but because of one leader of the country: YOU, Mr. Trump.
