Hello March


Happy first day of March!
Finally! One of my favourite months has arrived! And I do not only love this month because my birthday is in March. No I love this month because spring begins in this month!

I can already sense the first signs of spring! The days are getting longer, birds start chirping songs to wake you up again and the flowers start growing. Today, I noticed these cute purple flowers that grow every March and to me, they indicate the beginning of spring and the ending of winter. And boy, am I glad that it will take at least 9 months before we will get another one.

I can't wait to see all the animals getting babies again, I mean who can resist baby sheep right? And oh in May there will be baby birds! And all the cute flowers that will bloom again, EEEEEK! I love it!

And, of course, my birthday is in two weeks. Although I am excited for my birthday, I don't look forward to getting older. Because getting 17 means that I will have to pay bills in just one year! And yes, I aleady am stressed out about the bills I will have to pay in a year, let me be okay.

Anyway, I can't wait until spring is finally upon us and I will be woken up by singing birds! Until then, I will just have to cope with this (still rather) cold weather.

See you soon!

The Recent Events in Orlando from the Eyes of a Dutch Girl

Dear sweet readers whom I am very thankful for, I felt the urge to write to you today after having processed the horrible things that happened in Orlando this weekend. As Tyler Oakley rightfully pointed out in his recent YouTube video , the people who were shot this weekend were all in places that should have felt and been safe and the fact that they actually weren't safe is so horrible I can't find the words to express. I hope that none of  you lost someone that was very dear to you, but if you did I am very sorry and my thoughts are with you. I know writing that doesn't solve anything, but I still hope it gives a little comfort. Neither Christina Grimmie, nor the 50 people in that gay bar deserved to die this weekend and I truly believe that the world has lost very wonderful people. These people died doing what they loved and/or celebrating whoever they loved and I sincerely hope that wherever they are, they can keep doing this. I hope that they still had a happy

Patrick Ness' "A Monster Calls"

Warning: spoilers ahead. Read this review on GoodReads here . I didn't know I dreaded re-reading this book until I read the first word. In fact, when I saw the book on the curriculum for my English Literature course I was very happy to have a good excuse to read this beautiful book again. When I turned to the first page, I was excited. While reading, however, I realized maybe I shouldn't have been quite as excited. I realized a lot had changed in the three years since I last read it. I remember feeling happy after I first read the book. Not only did it have a beautiful form with all those illustrations, but it also had a beautiful message. Then, the book felt like a story, nothing more than that. But in the meantime, before reading it the second time, I've had to let go, just like Conor. Well, maybe not JUST like Conor; I didn't have to let my mom go, but still, I had to let go. And, as you will learn while reading the book, letting go is not easy. Not easy at a

Today I got into a car and drove away

Even before I actually turned 18, I knew it would happen. I would have to learn how to drive. I don't know why, but I already felt that my parents would give me driving lessons for my birthday. After my exams I would start, I told them. Well.. I finished my exams last week. I never felt ready to actually drive, and I don't think I ever will be entirely comfortable in a car, but my apprehension towards driving has subdued a little today. This afternoon my mum told me to put on different shoes - I was wearing platform wedge heels - and guided me towards her car. She drove me to an almost empty parking lot and turned off the car: it was my turn to drive now. She explained a few things to me and before I knew it I was sitting behind the steering wheel. I had a few start-up problems, but as soon as I actually got the car to drive, it actually went okay. I even made turns and switched on to second and third gear. I was terrified, but also felt strangely powerful. It felt good to
