Because I am not me. And I miss being my authentic self. I miss being happy and content with certain things. I miss the prospect of another day being better than the moment I am stuck in. But then again, life’s been pretty shit since birth, why would I expect it to be any different…

For as long as I can remember, I have seen everybody around me moving forward, having a life, and progressing. I don’t know how you all do it. Clearly, I do not belong here. Imagine that, participating in life for ‘spek en bonen’. I’ve felt like that before I was a teen, as a teen,…

Running on fumes.

As someone who struggles with stress, I was on a mission to improve specifically the start of my day, and find ways to incorporate mindfulness into my mornings. I wanted to share my personal journey towards a mindful morning routine that’s been helping me start with a more relaxed and centered mindset. It’s taken me…

Maintaining an apartment can be a daunting task, especially when you’re not sure where to start or how to address certain issues. I know this feeling all too well. For the past five years, my apartment has had a high-priority list of obstacles that I didn’t know how to tackle. I struggled with mental blocks…

As the owner of our now twelve-year-old Minecraft community, I have to say, I am beyond thrilled to still be going strong all these years later.

Who doesn’t like shiny new things? Right? Well, I certainly do. And I can’t really afford it all. On top of that, I am also not really the person that renews their iPhone each year or has to get the latest of the latest. It’s nice if it was possible, but I am very much…

Oof, it would be much easier if you could just take a little looksy inside my brain – read my thoughts – to understand better what I wish I could all write down. We cannot do this, however, I can journal a bit, share a bit, and blog. About the last five years, and why…

Lowering stress in life is important, and being efficient at being a product can help you achieve that. And it’s not just for techy geeks or smarty pants developers. Everybody can improve the way they use their Mac system to save a bit of time, keep the focus on what’s in front of you. And…

In the last five years real life friends have left my life, in 2017 I worked so hard to fight my depression, and made plans to improve my life, my finances, my health, my social life. In 2018 my cat passed away, in 2019 my father passed away, 2020 has been a global pandemic, and…

A thought, just one. A microsecond, not even. But it contained everything. And it wasn’t even the first time. That blue in the sky, I’ve always appreciated it. The few times in life where my disability was conquered. No pain. Just void. And yet, the moment would pass and you grow up and learn that…

On the older iPhones with Touch ID you’d have to hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. On the newer Face ID devices this can be a bit different. You might notice if you try Volume + Sleep, that it wants to shut down or even call emergency services. So that’s not…
