Ageing

                                  "We'll never be as young as we are now."  
                                                     ~ Never be - 5sos
The concept of ageing quite scares me, because you'll not only get older, but you will also look different and you might not be able to do things you used to do. Of course getting older and gaining life experience can be beautiful and a lot of beautiful things will happen, but I'm afraid that I will wake up one day and think: "I'm  old!"

But that is not the only thing that scares me about getting older, not at all. I'm also terrified that I will not be content with my life and with the choices I made when I was younger! I'm afraid of being unhappy and not being able to fix that, because I'm not physically or mentally able to fix major mistakes any more. 

I'm also afraid of 'wasting' my time by making wrong decisions and that I will hate myself for wasting that time when I'm older, because I could have used that time for something else. But then I realize that whenever I do something I like, I will never waste time, because I was happy doing it! And of course I'll have to do things I don't like to do, but that doesn't matter if it will bring me a better future or if it will make someone else very happy! 

Maybe I should be less afraid of things like these and just live my life, but I feel like it's okay to feel afraid for things like these, because if you aren't afraid you don't think about them when you have to make important decisions. So be afraid, but don't let your fear take over your life! Live in the moment and remember, life isn't measured by the breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!

Have fun guys!

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...

With honour

Hi everyone, Time for a weird story: how I got a fake diploma.Or well, not really, but still sort of. On Thursday June 16th, I got a call that I passed all my exams and would therefore graduate from my secondary school. Awesome! And I got great marks as well, just not enough to graduate cum laude (with honour). Well, whatever, my grades were still great. On Monday June 23rd however, I got another call from school. If I still wanted to graduate cum laude ? Yeah sure. All I had to do was redo my arithmetic exam and score at least 85% for that.  So, I redid that test on July 5th. The only problem was: the graduation ceremony was planned on July 6th, but ,y school would receive the scores of my test on Thursday July 7th. Whoops.. what do we do now? Well, I still got to go to my graduation ceremony, but I wouldn't receive my diploma until the next day. What did they hand me instead? A list of my grades at that point, printed on the same kind of paper as the other d...
