Things I want to do before I die: #1 learn how to longboard

A few months ago, I saw a little Vimeo-movie on a tumblr blog. That Vimeo-movie, was a movie of a group of girls who cross a beautiful landscape/forest with their longboard. Since I saw that movie, I want nothing more than to longboard myself! I will have to learn it, of course, because I have never done it before. But I would give anything to do/learn it! Even if I fall a thousand times. I just have to do it! It seems wonderful to skim over the deserted roads with your longboard. Freedom is what I call it! Let's do this sh*t. Now I just have to buy a longboard. "Moooooooooooooom?"

I wanna see you be Brave!

I know it's been a while (ok, not a while, a week) And I just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive and that I'm doing ok. And yeah, I just have a song to offer you guys. Not much, I know, but it is something. Well, it's Brave by the lovely Sara Bareilles. You know, the girl from Lovesong? Remember: I'm not gonna write you a love song cause you ask for it, cause you need one, you see... Yeah, I knew you would remember :) Nicely done, proud of you! Well, that song, Brave, has been playing on repeat these last few days. The lyrics are just so inspirational and well written and aaargh, it's just a very wonderful song that will lift your spirits up. It helped me anyway! So, if you listen well enough, I'm sure it will help you too! Also, the video of the song is pre-tty HIGHlarious, so you should def give it a watch! I promise that you won't regret it. Trust me on this one. Instant happiness assured!

Much love,

In need for some silence & peace of mind

Lately, my life has been an absolute mess! I lost my way in life, a little though, and therefore my head and my heart were completely filled with too many feelings and thoughts and I didn't see a way out. I just needed a quiet place to order my thoughts and feelings, because it was becoming a little too much for me. I had panic attacks and sometimes I just couldn't breathe. So, I went to the forest. My quiet place where I can come to rest. The only place that can get me completely calm. A place where I just need to breathe, relax, listen to the different sounds and inhale the most delicious smells. I took a book with my so that I didn't need to think about my life, but had to concentrate on the book that I was reading. A good book by the way (Waiting on Wednesday by Nicci French). It was a good day, or actually, a few hours. I just sat there, thought of nothing and tried to enjoy myself with reading. I can't say that the forest "cured" me of my messy head & heart, and I still haven't my life back on the rails. But it was at least a start! I just need to stay calm and trust that everything is going to be okay. So that's what I'm going to do. And when I feel that I'm panicking again, I just go to that quiet and absolutely wonderful place: the forest. 

SO SO BADLY! 

A trip to the movies

So the day before yesterday, I went to the movies with my family. When we arrived, there was a little discussion about which film we wanted to see. My sister desperately wanted to see "Now you see me" while my mom, my dad & I desperately wanted to see "Elysium", because we are huge fans of Matt Damon (Hero - Dah!) So, because it was three against one, we went to see "Elysium". The movie was not great, but also not bad, something in the middle. But that is not why I am writing this blogpost. You know, each time we go to the movies, or better, when I go to the movies, something (crazy) happens. This time it was no different. So the movie starts and each time something gross happens, like when the face of a man gets blown off or when a man sticks his head between an automatic door that got stuck (I guess we all see the picture of what could have happened, but nothing did!) or when the character of Matt Damon is about to die, ... A too enthusiastic man behind us is screaming like a crazy person. Things like: "DON'T DO THAT (for the door) or "SHIIIIIIIIT, GROSS!" (for the face) and "AAAAAH NO, GET UP!" (for the about-to-die part). Yep, this really happened! And each time the man was yelling, faces were turning and people started laughing. It was a little irritating, because we all want to watch a movie in silence (right?!?) But is was mostly hilarious, and I couldn't stop laughing! Best day at the movies so far!
