I am a girl full of contradictions.
Fiercely independent, yet I still live with my parents.
Getting my first gray hairs, but I also still have pimples.
Craving for love, yet always afraid to make the first move.
A dreamer, but one that worries all the time.
Spontaneous, and at the same time overanalyzing everything. Especially -what else?- relationships with boys.
This is what I believe to be the biggest disease of our time: hiding. Especially feelings. More specifically, the bad ones. We hide feelings of stress, anxiety, insecurity, being uncomfortable etc. Why? Because in our society having these feelings is associated with being weak, or at least with being weaker than everyone else. This is a very important cause of our hiding: we all think we are weaker, more stressed and less confident than everybody else. The only way to keep up with the rest is by hiding how we truly feel. And we’re damn good at it too. Often better than we think.
het is grappig hoe ik me blijf verbazen over mijn verwarring, terwijl het ongetwijfeld de toestand is waarin ik het meest verkeer.
Ah, job expectations vs. reality. Once upon a naïve time, a few years ago, I thought finding a job with a good degree would be relatively easy. That’s what I had been told anyway. Fast-forward a few years: nope, it’s not. By now applying for jobs has become my main job experience (too bad it isn’t seen as a great asset on your cv).
