PERSONAL | Sometimes, I just need to write stuff down.

PERSONAL | Sometimes, I just need to write stuff down.

Sometimes I get this really big urge to write. When I was a little girl, I wanted to become a writer. I’ve always been fascinated with creating stories. There’s something magical about the ability of expressing yourself through writing. When my thoughts become something others can read as well, it gives me the same feeling as if somebody’s staring into my eyes; terrifying, uncomfortable yet mesmerizing. Writing has always been one of my passions. It comes naturally with my character. I’m an extrovert. I’ve never been scared to talk about my feelings, thoughts and personal experiences – hence the blogging thing and such. I’m so open and brutally honest towards people. I do this to such an extent, I think it will become the end of me someday.

‘You only got a higher grade ’cause you’re a pretty girl.’

‘You only got a higher grade ’cause you’re a pretty girl.’

‘You only got a higher grade because you’re a pretty girl’. That sentence. That fucking sentence. If there’s something that instantly makes me feel sick, it has to be that. It’s like with everything I do, every achievement I earn and every step I take, there’s this little thought spooking through my head. It’s like a demon stuck to me and there’s nothing I can do about it. Let me explain. First of all, I want to clarify: I don’t see myself as this hot bombshell or something. I’m not insecure about my looks, but I’m not writing this piece out of arrogance or narcissism. No, I’m writing this because this is something I honestly have heard a lot during my law school carreer. And it makes me sad, angry and helpless at the same time.

PERSONAL | My Not So Cliché Life Goals for 2016

PERSONAL | My Not So Cliché Life Goals for 2016

At first I really didn’t want to do a ‘goals for 2016’ kind of post. Most of them are super cliché and they seem all pretty similar too. But because I got such an overwhelming positive response to my previous, very personal post, it felt right to also share this personal thing with you guys: my not so cliché life goals for 2016. I’d like to call them not so cliché, but I guess it’s just how you look at it of course. In 2016, I really want to do it right. Have my priorities straight, grow as a person and not focus as much on the bullshit. Having these goals all written down in one place definitely motivates me to stick to them too. And of course, at the end of 2016, it’s fun to see if I actually nailed them or nah. So I present to you: this is everything that I want to achieve in 2016.

PERSONAL | My Life Lessons of 2015 (That Will Help You in 2016)

PERSONAL | My Life Lessons of 2015 (That Will Help You in 2016)

Recently I’ve been trying to write shorter posts on my blog. Generally, people like reading shorter articles with more pictures, instead of really detailed blogposts with a lot of text. Same counts for me too. With that being said, I really started missing writing in my usual long, cryptical and personal way on my blog. A couple of things happened in my life recently (or not so recently and I’m still trying to figure them out). One of the ways I like to deal with that sort of stuff is by writing it down.

Dear Diary, this has been on my mind recently…

I actually planned on posting something completely different today, but the way I was feeling made me change my mind. I’ve always thought about my blog as my own personal diary. Writing shit down is very therapeutic for me, so that’s why I choose to share so many (yet still not even 1% of what’s really going on in my crazy mind) thoughts with you. Even when I know that hundreds (or maybe even thousands…) of people are going to read it. Sometimes I just don’t realize that my blog is a ‘public’ space and not my notebook that I keep in my bag to write weird stuff down. Well, today I really needed to write these thoughts down, because started feeling overwhelmed. Dear Diary, this has been on my mind recently…
