I Want to Grow
Every 1st of January, I take some time to myself and answer a whole series of questions to reflect on both the year that has passed and the one to come. These questions include “What was my biggest fear?” “What was my biggest challenge?” and of course, “What is your biggest goal for the new year?” which is a tough one, if not the toughest.

Bothered
“Catherine, stay close.” Catherine and Eliza followed the natural pace of the crowd, the one set by museum and travel tour guides, by tourists, by art fanatics, and by students doing their assignments. The two girls were all and none of those things. They loved art, were tourists, were students, but they were not there for assignments. They were there for jobs.
