Lately I've been feeling like my body's running on auto-pilot and I'm just floating inside of it, waiting for things to get better. Everything's happening in a haze around me, I can barely remember conversations or what day it is. My birthday's soon and even that I keep forgetting. I've since learned that that's called depersonalisation. Not that I have any idea what to do with that information. B... » Continue Reading
I feel like smartphones have ruined the way we look at pictures. It's made making and retaking pictures so easy, we all have thousands of photos on our phones at all times. Sometimes retaking the same picture 5 times to get the perfect snapshot, and yes, that's cool and convenient, but it has lost any meaning. I personally must have more than 10.000 pictures on my phone, yet I barely look at any o... » Continue Reading
My sister was over the moon with my present! She really genuinely liked it, so I'm super relieved haha. Rest of the day was pretty chill, just chilled with the fam as usual, stuffed myself with some free nosh and riled up the family dog. Back home now so it's jigsaw puzzle time babyyyyyy Might even watch a documentary while I'm puzzling, if I'm feeling extra adventurous » Continue Reading
I'm going over to my parents' house to celebrate in a few minutes, I'm just majorly stressed about the gift I'm giving her lmao. Honestly I never know what to give her since she's not really into that many things and she never wants anything. So what I did this year is recreate a little storage box from a movie we used to watch on LOOP when we were kids, sounds vague but it looks pretty cool. And ... » Continue Reading
Last weekend, I went to a festival for the first time ever at the ripe age of 23 ! The actual first one didn't feel like a traditional festival maybe? They still had some nice names, but I mainly went for one group that rarely plays anywhere else. I had a really great time though! But then, the Lokerse Feesten happened. That one really did feel like a real festival, and I felt it in my back as we... » Continue Reading
I've been stressing crazy hard the last few weeks because I cannot seem to get my hands on jobs! Since it's the summer, most theatres and concert venues are on summer break. Meaning the only tech jobs available are festivals (all booked up) and volunteer jobs at local events, meaning I'd get paid about 70 euros for usually 11+ hours of work. I've really been feeling like it's a me problem, and th... » Continue Reading
I just looked back at my old posts and realised I didn't even tell you guys I moved out of my parental home over 2 months ago lmao. I was scared shitless to actually take the step but it's been great honestly. I used to have a pretty difficult relationship with my parents, we couldn't be around each other without fighting anymore. Every little thing set us off, but that didn't mean it was easy for... » Continue Reading
The end of my final internship is approaching rapidly, and with it the end of the entire course. This internship started with a lot of frustrations, getting sick in the first week and being "stuck" for weeks in a theatre creation that was very interesting, but not that educational in technical terms. But in the last few weeks I've found myself growing as a technician, and as a person. I got the a... » Continue Reading
So last week I had my evaluation for my stage tech internships, and both went great! I basically had the best possible score for both, and my 'teacher' said I was doing really well, especially considering how little lessons we've had so far, and that I was definitely in the right place. Aside from that, during the evaluation one of my internships basically said they wanted me to be one of their t... » Continue Reading
First of all, a happy new year! Second of all, I want to post on here more often!!! But I have no idea what to post. I feel like I have nothing interesting to tell you! Nothing notable that's appropriate for a public blog, that is. (¬_¬") The past two weeks I had a bit of a 'vacation' from my internship, which would be nice if it wasn't so damn boring!! At least when I'm working I'm busy, if I hav... » Continue Reading
All my family has gone home for the night and I can finally crawl into bed myself. I actually had a genuinely mostly enjoyable Christmas (eve) this year! We, traditionally, had a giant cheese platter and charcuterie board for dinner which SUCKS because I hate most cheeses and I'm a vegetarian, so I mainly filled up on bread & grapes. My sister asked me to be the godmother of her baby, which I'm r... » Continue Reading
I finally deleted Tiktok off my phone, which sounds stupid and small but it's actually a pretty big deal to me. I've always realised how addicted I (and most people these days) are to their phone, and specifically short form content. Whenever I catch myself doomscrolling to procrastinate doing any real work I feel disgusted with myself. So I'm trying to (step by step) get off social media. » Continue Reading
