Spring’s First Intermission

Hey there everyone! Happy Friday! Just came from speaking with some crazy friends of mine on Skype. Do you have any plans for over the weekend? I do not have so much of a plan but instead I am going to try studying and continuing to write my thesis.

Since it is March and Spring is just practically around the corner I wanted to write a blog post related to that. Lately I have been seeing a lot of signs of the the Spring season and I wanted to post a poem I wrote a while back about (my first) Spring in the Netherlands. This poem (as you probably can tell) can be found in my published poetry book I’m Only Human which you can buy on Amazon, Kobobooks, Barnes and Noble and Bol.com etc. I hope you like it and have a nice day.

Wine & dine

Hey there. Happy Friday! I am in a nice mood today, if I do say so myself. Today I wine and dined all by my lonesome as I watched anime and I L.O.V.E.D it! Now I am feeling like a stuffed pig and can barely move because of how stuffed I am. However, I am satisfied and that is all that matters to me right now. Although I do not need to drink myself silly and fill my gut to be happy today I still did it anyway because I can, 😛 Lol. Sometimes it feels so good to be able to do as I please. Continue reading

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 girl who wanted to be white…

Hey there. It’s finally Friday (well almost early Saturday morning)! Hurray! Well, anyway… Though the year had just started is pretty much already mid-February. Time flies! No kidding. Before we turn around and blink it will be the end of the year again. Gosh!

Anyway, I can imagine that almost everyone knows that the month of February is Black History Month, right?  Today is my Writing Related Fridays and I wanted to share a poem to commemorate that, although it ends somewhat sadly. I believe it also resonates well with my post from yesterday where I wrote that black people should also be proud of their blackness. You have nothing to be ashamed about. You were (and all humans were) made beautifully regardless of what anyone else says and we should stand proud. 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!
