Another Maya Angelou poem that’s a favourite of mine.

/ Angie's Inspiration / Leave a comment
Hello All. How is everyone? Some time back I wrote a post about Maya Angelou being one of my favourite poets even though to be honest I know only but a few poets. That time I posted a poem from Maya Angelou called ‘Phenomenal Woman’ which is a personal favourite of mine.
Today I just wanted to share another of her poems that is also a favourite of mine. This is because some of the poems that Maya Angelou wrote I can somewhat relate to on a personal level if I may say so. Not to mention they are both confident and sassy but at the same time mellow. I especially like poems like that.

Such a great poem!

Hello yet again everyone! There wasn’t that much time that passed between the last blog post I published last night and this one.

Also, it’s finally Friday which means time to relax and unwind… not. I have quite some work I have cut out for me to do over the weekend.

Anyway, today is my Writing Related Fridays and I just wanted to post something I came across a few days ago. It is a video of a poem being read by poet, Kayla Q, and I have to say what a powerful message and intense poem that was! I was so surprised myself. I can sometimes be a little critical when it comes to poetry and writing related work when I start to really get serious. Even more so with my own writing. But she was great, I have to admit.

The Perks of Having a Little Sister

/ Angie's Inspiration / Leave a comment

Hello everyone. Happy Saturday! My favourite day of the week. Sorry I was unable to make a post yesterday because I was a little tired and fell asleep. So today I’m making up for it with this post. Also, today I have been busy packing my stuff and relocating to a new place and that is my reason for posting late. Sorry for the late post and hope you still enjoy this post nonetheless.

I wanted to post the partial first chapter of a third novel idea I was working on some time back and still am working on. It is about an older teenage sister who hates her adored and coddled little sister. This is because of how much attention her baby sister is showered with and how she is not given any personal space to focus on herself and hang out with her friends etc. because of it. Until her little sister develops an illness that the medical doctors cannot pinpoint what exactly it is and this illness has her frequenting the hospital and on the edge between life and death. I hope you enjoy the first chapter of The Perks of Having a Little Sister. Continue reading →

I’ve REALLY started to love K-pop music…

Hello everyone. Did you enjoy your New Years Day on Friday? I enjoyed it with a friend of mine. We went to a Dutch equivalent to Disney World known as the Efteling. We spent practically the entire day there and this all happens after celebrating New Years the night before with our friends/ family and only functioning on 2.5 to 5 hours sleep. 😀 So you can imagine how haggard and tired we were. I hope you all had just as much fun.

Anyway, I wanted to write about my love and admiration for K-pop music. K-pop is so upbeat most of the time. I absolutely love it. I started getting into K-pop about a year and a half ago. Maybe even almost 2 years, if I’m truly honest. Continue reading →

Happy New Year! And may your dreams come true this year!

Hello, everyone TGIF! It seriously feels like the weeks are going by in no time. It´s almost scary…

Anyway, I wish for all of you out there to live well and dream big because that´s what I´ll certainly be doing this coming year. Regardless of what happens this year I will still strive to better myself and continue dreaming and trying to reach my goals.

So dare to dream! And while you are at it dream big. Life is too short to be standing still . Life is too precious to not have dreams. Make your own dreams come true and don´t depend on others to make your dreams a reality. Just as you should not depend on others to make you happy. You should start by making yourself happy first and realise your dreams and have the motivation to back it up!

Merry Christmas everyone and here’s a poem from me to you…

Hello everyone. It is Friday again and also Christmas. I hope you are enjoying your day to the fullest today! My day has been quietly hanging out and relaxing with family while eating and watching movies on the television, lol. I also spoke with my parents on Skype for the first time during the holiday season since coming to the Netherlands because we always spoke on the phone. So, it was nice being able to see them this time around. 🙂

I just wanted to say that though the year 2015 may have not been the best year for everyone, life is still as beautiful at the end of the day because of the simple fact that we are alive to see it and get the chance to hopefully see a better tomorrow.   Continue reading →
