It’s back. I don’t know for how long it will stay, but it’s 23:55h and 4 weeks later and it’s back. The craving, the rush, the fine feeling of wanting to write. Tonight, about a penny that just dropped. Do you know that feeling that comes with it? When something finally hits you and your … Continue reading The Best Penny Dropper
[WID0018] Guest Post by Maartje: Thank God Throughout Everything
I've always liked to write. I have kept some of the diaries from way back in the day and they are full of cute spelling mistakes. Despite the major transformations I've gone through like everyone else, I've remained myself at heart: imaginative, creative, passionate and... a chatty person. But what if you can't always speak … Continue reading [WID0018] Guest Post by Maartje: Thank God Throughout Everything
Banana Pancakes
Do you also prefer eating your bananas slightly or even barely ripe? When a banana is too ripe or very ripe I don't enjoy it as much. And when it's overripe I can't eat it without forcing myself to chew or trying not to think of the gooey texture. So, to not throw them away … Continue reading Banana Pancakes
[WID0017] Guest Post by Mwenecho: Things I Never Said
It might have seemed that at times I'm disturbed, despite how I always make people laugh. How I manage to walk away from bad situations with my smile intact. These are my locked away stories. Here I am putting them on display like a circle's play. These days I have become more silent, self alienated. … Continue reading [WID0017] Guest Post by Mwenecho: Things I Never Said
[WID0016] Guest Post by Mwenecho: Untitled
I met Mwenecho in Malawi at the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Malawi. I don't remember how precisely, I think I went to pay for my registration and he was there, as the IT guy, talking to the guy that would assist me. Or they were just chatting and someone else helped me, I don't … Continue reading [WID0016] Guest Post by Mwenecho: Untitled
[WID0015] Guest Post by Maartje & Anthony: How We Met
John 4:48 - “So Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” We can say that miracles were only taking place in the Bible. We can say that miracles are only for dreamers or ignorants. We can say a lot, but what we know is that miracles are there, … Continue reading [WID0015] Guest Post by Maartje & Anthony: How We Met
Papa di Aros (Rice Porridge)
I don't often cook nor eat rice, so when I do I always make too much and so end up with leftover rice. And you know I know what to do with leftover food. Make something new with it! And then eat it of course. 'Papa di aros' means rice porridge in Papiamentu and is … Continue reading Papa di Aros (Rice Porridge)
African Ocean Blue
As you may have noticed, last week I didn't share any blogposts. I took a bit of a break during my break being here on Curaçao to celebrate my father's wedding. So today I'll show a bit more of myself and my family by means of sharing some pictures. After 21 years my father decided … Continue reading African Ocean Blue
[WID0014] Guest Post by Tarynn: What Are You Living For?
Whether it's love, money, fame, experiences, adrenaline, the validation of people, purpose, yourself, regardless of what it is... we are all living for something. If we stand still on this thought, we'll realize that what we're living for is actually what our heart is governed by. Perhaps it's not something we consciously choose; to control … Continue reading [WID0014] Guest Post by Tarynn: What Are You Living For?
