Born in 1975, I live with my husband and dog in a wonderful place. I am highly sensitive, critical thinker, philosophical, chaotic, a feeling person, very sensitive to stimuli, perfectionist, focused on details, creative, opinionated and above all happily becoming more and more myself, the person I am.
In my life so far, I have had to deal with several challenging life situations, the main focus of which was in the first half of my life. Yes, I have suffered considerably, lived through and processed everything and now live with the remnants of it. No, this doesn't sound very happy; it isn't. But it is not all that I am. Fortunately, I am much more than my past.
Nowadays I am, more often than not, satisfied with myself, my life, the people around me and life itself. And I am increasingly able to realize a life in which I feel largely at ease, peaceful, content, accepting, happy and grateful.
Of course, there are still plenty of challenges that I find difficult. But I am increasingly able to make choices from the heart rather than from learned patterns and survival mechanisms.
Truly accepting is the essence of life
For a long time I have wondered why I want to do this: write. After all, I find it quite exciting to be visible. But after much thought, I have come to the conclusion: the positives outweigh the fear.I like languages and am always working on it. And I find it relaxing: writing things down. My head is so full and it's always busy there, that writing things down helps to create some peace.
I like to take you into my world, which includes a debatable role for PTSD, my non-visual disability. You will get an insight into who I am and how I experience things. I'll let you in on the chaos in my head and share my life experiences and life lessons. Not grand and compelling, but just as I am: this is me!
You will frequently find texts in English on my blog. Why, you may wonder. It's because I have an affinity with languages and especially with the English language. I often think in English, my knowledge of the English language is of the same level as my Dutch and I understand the dynamics of the English language. In addition, I can sometimes express myself better in English than in Dutch.
I wish that my blog informs, inspires and enthuses you; that it enriches you. And that I can create more knowledge and understanding of non-visual disabilities.
Happy reading!
