I have been very absent from bloggertown. My focus shifted to finishing my bachelor at university after you last saw me appear on bloglovin', or in your comment sections. Now that I am nearing the end of this period, I wanted to reflect as well as look forward. Giving you another glance into my life. Hopefully, an interesting one. </p><p>Honestly, looking back on the past half year is difficult. It feels like a big blur of events. It helps to focus on an aspect of my life, to clearly see what happened. There was so much of nothing, but also a lot of everything at once. That's the best way of describing it. I feel like I've been running and at the same time I've been standing still. Of not knowing where to go and finding out how to listen to my gut. </p><p>For now, I will center around the big part of my life that is school, a part that influences me and my days the most. After I finished my bachelor thesis back in February, I got in a whirlwind of arranging my future. In that last semester at Utrecht University, I studied at the University of East Anglia. 'How?' you might ask. Yes, it was very much in covid-times. I didn't actually <em>go</em> there. I wasn't allowed to travel abroad and physically study there, so I followed my classes online. My laptop functioning as a window to the ~magical~ land across the sea. </p><p>It was both amazing and terrible. It was everything it shouldn't have been, nothing like I imagined. Still, in the state the world was and is in, it was pretty amazing that I got to do these courses, albeit from home. I learned about Jane Austen and the Brönte sisters, and about scriptwriting. I enjoyed it and was lucky enough to also follow courses at my home university in Utrecht as well. We even had some in-person classes and moments together with group mates because it was a very hands-on and practical course. We learned how to prepare for and carry out a short film and documentary, which was really cool. </p><p>In the second half of the last semester I followed Creative Writing and the courses in England came to an end quite quickly in those weeks. I loved Creative Writing. I love writing. And I think part of me coming back here is due to this course. I want to keep writing and keep sharing what I write. I might even show you some more fictional pieces of writing. For some reason I was really into Sirens and Greek mythology during the course, so that's what the writing is about. </p><p>Learning to listen to my gut has also been a pretty big part of the past year. Especially with making choices about my future. My idea was always to take a gap year in-between my bachelor and master, but in the way things turned out this wasn't the ideal option anymore. I had to shift my pretty steadfast expectations. </p><p>In the time I had, I looked up my new options. They were also very exciting ones and I have the privilege of still having so many options before me. Ultimately I wanted to choose between a master in Amsterdam and one in Groningen. Choosing Groningen would mean I had to move away from my parental home. A few years ago, maybe even a year ago, I would've been frightened by this idea. But there was this itch, this longing for something new. Something different. A new scenery, one where I could discover more about life and about me in it. It felt like an opportunity to be active, play an active role in a life that felt so passive during this crisis. To go down the rabbit hole and discover my Wonderland.</p><p>And so, you might've guessed it, I chose to study at the University of Groningen. I wanted to be Alice and follow this white rabbit, this feeling in my stomach. </p><p>And I want to take you with me where I can. </p><p>Love, Eva</p><p><br /></p><p></p>Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776091790661016684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506045797991433834.post-50382500383354207022020-06-14T16:38:00.000+02:002022-10-11T13:28:09.039+02:00i dressed like rachel green from friends<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgagILr-WfohF0G-YBlyWlmOteTf_ZVxrzdACGVKFLGbJRo7yceqj8LTIXKPCSCEiYNayp4pR2zVtAkGcQrhXOl7WBfJeafDWqcUgKLfbnQujT2ldJkmublJ8Mu2aTRuobjVXlwtGGavwFAo9tRLPro8MgKEeam-mAWdUfgNxskp9nyZW_7HM6z4A7LTQ/s1023/23bf3971-0eb7-4634-ace4-db76403e5073-d4bd44c5-3697-4e10-a310-d55f7399e6f9-1.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgagILr-WfohF0G-YBlyWlmOteTf_ZVxrzdACGVKFLGbJRo7yceqj8LTIXKPCSCEiYNayp4pR2zVtAkGcQrhXOl7WBfJeafDWqcUgKLfbnQujT2ldJkmublJ8Mu2aTRuobjVXlwtGGavwFAo9tRLPro8MgKEeam-mAWdUfgNxskp9nyZW_7HM6z4A7LTQ/w480-h640/23bf3971-0eb7-4634-ace4-db76403e5073-d4bd44c5-3697-4e10-a310-d55f7399e6f9-1.jpg.webp" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); margin-bottom: 1.75em; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Like probably 73% of the inhabitants of Earth, I have recently been obsessed with Friends again. My brother is watching it at the moment and I saw it popping up on my Netflix as well, speaking to me like an inner voice, saying: Watch me, watch me! I remember, the first time I watched season 1, being even more obsessed with Rachel’s outfits. And Monica’s. Now I fell back into that pattern again and ended up pinning all her outfits on Pinterest. I also came across <a href="https://avewill.wordpress.com/2016/10/25/i-dressed-like-rachel-green-for-a-week-and-heres-what-happened-2/" style="box-shadow: currentcolor 0px 1px 0px 0px; box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s; word-wrap: break-word;">this</a> post from Avewill.

We had a delicious piece of apple pie which I could barely finish and then we went off to visit Dille & Kamille and Groene Vingers. I bought a Pilea there in a really cute pot and I love it.

With this technique, you just write a word in any handwriting you like with lines the same width. Next, you add an extra line where with calligraphy you would be pressing hard on the paper, creating a thicker line. This line you can then fill in or leave empty for a nice effect. I usually interchange between these calligraphy styles. This ‘fake’ one is handy if you don’t yet really know where you want to put letters or don’t want to focus on the thick and thin lines.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwSmyJVHZ7zbhWVYIemRNnJmiTIBafEDFrL6AwBQH5goy1LQRDKdSNoKQ9fCYyzmKCNace5Uu3quSHI0Q--k47lhXZbvuyh0FFYCNUkZYLyB4WKZRbQ4SehrZmIytI5tr2Yui8uTeUYLenoORbeDlZwotB2u6mXqhilLK7Co5fApfsNB4_A8N2WpsLWQ/s1024/900a171e-2e2c-40b0-ad26-a1068368c28c.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="930" data-original-width="1024" height="582" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwSmyJVHZ7zbhWVYIemRNnJmiTIBafEDFrL6AwBQH5goy1LQRDKdSNoKQ9fCYyzmKCNace5Uu3quSHI0Q--k47lhXZbvuyh0FFYCNUkZYLyB4WKZRbQ4SehrZmIytI5tr2Yui8uTeUYLenoORbeDlZwotB2u6mXqhilLK7Co5fApfsNB4_A8N2WpsLWQ/w640-h582/900a171e-2e2c-40b0-ad26-a1068368c28c.jpg.webp" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">On the image above you can see the difference between my ‘fake’ lettering and calligraphy.

That is what great weather does to me, it brings the bookworm out. My favourite spot was sitting on the balcony with Pip laying by my side. I read <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-style: italic;">Peter Pan</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-style: italic;">Uprooted</span> and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-style: italic;">the Hazel Wood</span>. It was great to read the classic Peter Pan and finally seeing the original words on paper! I really recommend it, J.M. Barrie has a great writing style. Uprooted took me a long-long time to finish and I did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked, but I did finish it. Plus, her writing was sometimes also very beautiful and inspiring. The Hazel Wood is also a recommendation if you like dark fairytales!</div></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi54SBwnr97HFtXeeX82v4rMKJ86-a8CNzRh0vIwYwkgeyRu1EiQjFbkJBor6aaCBjPK7QsTHRR9mjhCbouZfU18CM-1SR-Ev5vEqLSVMXm45AmrQ6X85Ar_DIyEENLzrm4pCBWSRJ22P8I3RYMmgA230AYv9kZYXtwk3kFFGhH8PCAiBdsuJiWf4nZLA/s1024/21a331aa-be1b-43f2-9d0a-5acd10810df3.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi54SBwnr97HFtXeeX82v4rMKJ86-a8CNzRh0vIwYwkgeyRu1EiQjFbkJBor6aaCBjPK7QsTHRR9mjhCbouZfU18CM-1SR-Ev5vEqLSVMXm45AmrQ6X85Ar_DIyEENLzrm4pCBWSRJ22P8I3RYMmgA230AYv9kZYXtwk3kFFGhH8PCAiBdsuJiWf4nZLA/w480-h640/21a331aa-be1b-43f2-9d0a-5acd10810df3.jpg.webp" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7VtxRGXxZkEXQn-6lIDr_c7JCr0Yvhlhclm14gIaq9J_pselqiFXklXT46HO4h4VR7bJQxzDG9A5URQkfEY5BJcqyVYkcyDWq0Lt963z-uCztjSv9Hp6MP0cIOQoKEyUfAjYgcJIipAESTec2MX9uKBe-jdOyJTPnuJsIhw7LKpHXiqb3yK7ul9eMaQ/s1024/068dee06-6623-4b92-a1c9-393d3c2a2826.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7VtxRGXxZkEXQn-6lIDr_c7JCr0Yvhlhclm14gIaq9J_pselqiFXklXT46HO4h4VR7bJQxzDG9A5URQkfEY5BJcqyVYkcyDWq0Lt963z-uCztjSv9Hp6MP0cIOQoKEyUfAjYgcJIipAESTec2MX9uKBe-jdOyJTPnuJsIhw7LKpHXiqb3yK7ul9eMaQ/w480-h640/068dee06-6623-4b92-a1c9-393d3c2a2826.jpg.webp" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: left;">I even used the balcony as a place to study or type assignments :D Or to re-watch Downton Abbey and Friends for the gazillionth time… Or write my book with Imagine Dragons blaring through my earbuds (my favourite way to spend time nowadays).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwaIxqoNxSchTWkJWPO2Es0_vD7-pkDqlUnPOMDou_B6pnQ6qPvfrfKKbEuRXKG8M6HkrGcNawhGlm-3PeYcf8lgRMy5IW9VssgYN5WWF9DK-rae63dHxdAa58_mHFcOpdKn6NhJr_QUdgdK9ivvjQ6TteyWPK3e4z-rhmKm_PwDOrJ7xdZs6aqgQh7A/s1024/cf0802f0-8107-4f3e-ab14-fcdfad02eed4.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwaIxqoNxSchTWkJWPO2Es0_vD7-pkDqlUnPOMDou_B6pnQ6qPvfrfKKbEuRXKG8M6HkrGcNawhGlm-3PeYcf8lgRMy5IW9VssgYN5WWF9DK-rae63dHxdAa58_mHFcOpdKn6NhJr_QUdgdK9ivvjQ6TteyWPK3e4z-rhmKm_PwDOrJ7xdZs6aqgQh7A/w480-h640/cf0802f0-8107-4f3e-ab14-fcdfad02eed4.jpg.webp" width="480" /></a></div></span></span><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); margin: 1em 0px;"><figcaption style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD_kIHeaTU2CvUUealF3rkvcxkqd-3or1uLSW6U5eyy9q37jjJnnuLQF6L-JZDLFHDjctnjsLEYfuoARrfPiG-A8lUmk1aHLi_q8z33sqYxf9qXsqtfaK5znWBprIfIrURMcXNAp0t3U_3Q-8_oF_Oi2MyreCT_ELMwbIRVDEu9AY809frJu73PXkj0w/s1024/6b9b7d8f-1870-4194-aa1a-b3a30346f21b.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD_kIHeaTU2CvUUealF3rkvcxkqd-3or1uLSW6U5eyy9q37jjJnnuLQF6L-JZDLFHDjctnjsLEYfuoARrfPiG-A8lUmk1aHLi_q8z33sqYxf9qXsqtfaK5znWBprIfIrURMcXNAp0t3U_3Q-8_oF_Oi2MyreCT_ELMwbIRVDEu9AY809frJu73PXkj0w/w480-h640/6b9b7d8f-1870-4194-aa1a-b3a30346f21b.jpg.webp" width="480" /></a></figcaption><figcaption style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">also a great month for testing purple eyeshadow apparently…</span></figcaption></figure><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I also heard that my exchange in the new school year has been cancelled by my university. I really understand this decision and I think it’s a good decision, since I was doubting going there anyways. Still, I feel sad that I can’t look forward to going to England and studying there next semester. They are trying to maybe find a spot for me in the second semester, which I hope will happen! So I have a little hope to still be going abroad, only a little delayed. In all these events I think I have found some sort of peace of mind. What come will come my way. It has made me more aware of how much I live in the future or the past, and I want to practice being more in the present, enjoying the now. I’m happy that even though things are not going how I (or anyone for that matter) planned them, I can still rely on myself and my family and the fact that there is time.

I guess I’ll start by telling you how much I hate you. I’m sorry if that hurt your feelings, but it’s the truth. I hate how you make me feel when I’m in a new situation. Telling me that it is probably not even going to work, to not even try. Even before failing, before gaining lessons. For putting doubts in my head that weigh me down, even when I most need you not to. You make me doubt my every move, whispering your silent, empty words, gnawing at my good thoughts. Eating away Carelessness and Confidence. “Will you ever have enough?” I sometimes ask you. No is your reply. “No and you couldn’t stop me even if you tried.” Because it’s not that I don’t try to get rid of you. I’ve read my share of books and quotes.

It’s something that has just always been there. I think it really started to kind of consume me when I went to high school and it never really went away. It was a breath of fresh air to talk about it with my mom and aunt and hear that they were still insecure too. About a lot of things. It made me realize that it’s not something that just leaves after you get out of puberty (do we ever?). </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I just wanted to write this letter to show how it made me feel and what my experience with insecurity is. I hope it might inspire to open up about it, because it is good to talk about it. I want it to be part of my blog, because it is a big part of me and a lot of my thought goes out to it. Recently I’ve been a lot of performance anxiety whilst working and I kept looking for ways to get rid of that fear. I couldn’t and it made me so angry at myself for being so insecure all the time. I would get nervous the morning before work started. And I don’t think that is just going to stop when I get back to work, it might even be worse. I want to accept that part of me and live with it. The overcaring, approval-searching, insecure part of me. Maybe this is a step towards doing that.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8l0KDIKydiCQDMiB62OGL5gIjfX378qGJnCWqjHzqHXMdGunCmVQwybjz_Adp3oPIWnxTUMV5c_-dh-7waW7rHrz8fWsWKaeg7FEB_wC_47uaEewwXBnr9v94oIzAKEk2VgSFUf5QDIvA-GGiX8kWaNlSzlYJVhbLSgtOLMdZl7X9OoKAn5FCVI1tg/s1023/eb668442-d07f-4cdc-9389-3cdc11cbea28.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="680" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8l0KDIKydiCQDMiB62OGL5gIjfX378qGJnCWqjHzqHXMdGunCmVQwybjz_Adp3oPIWnxTUMV5c_-dh-7waW7rHrz8fWsWKaeg7FEB_wC_47uaEewwXBnr9v94oIzAKEk2VgSFUf5QDIvA-GGiX8kWaNlSzlYJVhbLSgtOLMdZl7X9OoKAn5FCVI1tg/w426-h640/eb668442-d07f-4cdc-9389-3cdc11cbea28.jpg.webp" width="426" /></a></div></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="border: 0px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lots more love to you,</span></span></div><p class="has-text-align-center" style="border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(60, 67, 74); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Eva</span></span></p>Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776091790661016684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506045797991433834.post-22833874151180116202020-05-10T15:30:00.004+02:002021-07-13T19:34:43.745+02:00another six o'clock adventure<p> <img alt="" class="wp-image-6518" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/1fea82c5-fd4c-49ed-b1f9-d5ef0238f02d.jpg" /></p><p class="has-text-align-right" style="text-align: right;"><em>27 April '20</em></p><p>At the break of dawn. On King's Day 2020. A memory forever cherished. </p><p>The soft gushing of the wind, which left the leaves bristling. The cool air that brushed against our cheeks as we raced to see the sun come up. The sweet chittering of birds in the morning sky, still waking up from a night's sleep, but so alive. My mother and I, quietly in awe of nature's beating heart. In the early morning everything is different. Everything is bright. Everything is sleepy and okay and calm. </p><p>How I love that calmness.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><img alt="" class="wp-image-6520 has-shadow-none" data-id="6520" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a6-preset-2/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/1ab71fcc-f300-46e8-8e14-6b6064ec7b0b.jpg?w=768" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6522 has-shadow-none" data-id="6522" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a4-preset-3/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/2ae9b738-55a8-4063-ab2a-8a3744df8609.jpg?w=681" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6524 has-shadow-none" data-id="6524" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a4-preset-5/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/6e60ecaf-6b3c-498f-ae98-db56cd46f149-1.jpg?w=1024" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6526 has-shadow-none" data-id="6526" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a4-preset-7/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/78f77b24-b185-41fc-b2dd-7411d3dd48fb-1.jpg?w=681" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6529 has-shadow-none" data-id="6529" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a6-preset-4/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/18339489-6659-4632-a324-7dbe69cf8621-1.jpg?w=1024" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6531 has-shadow-none" data-id="6531" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a4-preset-9/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/82590960-83ea-47ab-9a42-09d0507a5abd-1.jpg?w=681" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6533 has-shadow-none" data-id="6533" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a6-preset-6/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/c5dc156c-da2f-42db-ab2b-d7d5c4a34277-1.jpg?w=1024" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6535 has-shadow-none" data-id="6535" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a6-preset-8/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/c300684e-6a27-4fcc-9c0c-fa2c23461e00-1.jpg?w=768" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6538 has-shadow-none" data-id="6538" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a6-preset-11/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/77e518d6-90ff-4156-9b1a-f8a80f429cc8-1.jpg?w=681" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6539 has-shadow-none" data-id="6539" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a6-preset-12/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/eb402427-1f5c-4b02-b25f-bcd0e4eed0a4-1.jpg?w=1024" /><img alt="" class="wp-image-6540 has-shadow-none" data-id="6540" data-link="https://ateacupofme.wordpress.com/processed-with-vsco-with-a6-preset-13/" src="https://ateacupofme.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/18339489-6659-4632-a324-7dbe69cf8621-2.jpg?w=1024" /></p><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">love,</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Eva ♡</em></p>Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00776091790661016684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506045797991433834.post-21294505222585483472020-04-30T09:46:00.003+02:002020-04-30T09:46:57.973+02:00oh april<div style="text-align: center;">

The first two weeks of April I had a little vacation. At home, but still nice to have free time (#staycation). All I did was take lots of time for myself, to write, to enjoy the sun, to practice watercoloring (very inspired by Andy Warhol's butterflies) and videochat with my friends. We had a lot of evenings where my family and me could sit in the garden and eat dinner, which was really fun. I hope for more evenings like that in May!<br />

At the beginning of this month, I was really into a creative do-it-yourself kind of practicing spree with all kinds of materials. We have three picture lists in the hall at home, which is now used as a "gallery wall" and I had the honor of creating art to put in one of them. I had the idea to make a collage of all our holidays from the past few years (in the end, most of the pictures I gathered were from our trip to England, but hey). I really did not like how it looked at first, but when I see it now I really do. Which is so weird, but fortunate.<br />
<br />
Something I also got into this month is making more little clips of my day. The movie <i>Chef</i> (2014) inspired me to download the 1 second a day-app and record more often, so at the end of the year I'll have a little overview of 2020 <strike>not that I have a lot going on right now, but hopefully that will change soon!</strike><br />

Easter also happened this month, and together with my brother I made delicious scones. We tried a new recipe, because we didn't have any self-raising flower, and it actually worked out really well. On easter morning we also did an easter egg hunt, which I always look forward to, and then we had brunch!<br />

That day my brother had a crazy idea: to sleep in the living room. The 'sleeping in the living room' part didn't really appeal to me to be honest, but when there were movies involved I was persuaded. We watched <i>Maleficent: Mistress of Evil</i> and <i>The Secret Life of Pets</i> and went to bed really late. I didn't get the best sleep, but it was a really fun experience.<br />

What has really lifted my mood is reading in the sun on my balcony. Just enjoying the bird sounds, a slight breeze and the already hot spring sun, whilst holding pages of words in my hand. This month I finished reading The Dream Thieves (loved it!) and Normal People (which I enjoyed less). I started reading The Insecure Girl's Handbook by <a href="https://whatoliviadid.com/" target="_blank">Olivia Purvis</a>, which I like so far, it has some great tips and it's just so reassuring that <i>I'm not the only one who feels certain insecurities!!!! </i>She also as a great <a href="https://www.theinsecuregirlsclub.com/" target="_blank">website</a> filled with inspiring articles.<br />
<br />
I've also started reading a poetry book my grandmother gave to me. And after watching the Dead Poets Society I wanted to read it even more. It's filled with beautiful sentences and I just love picking it up at random and just reading one.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">If you ever wanted to find out what tv/movie character you are most like, </span><a href="https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">this</a><span style="text-align: start;"> is the ultimate quiz to take. It's as if you're taking 30 'Who am I most like'-quizzes on Buzzfeed. You get a set of questions and in the results you can see the characters from the Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, Friends, and many more (some of which I don't even know). It's really elaborate, so take your time, but it's a fun quiz to do! I'm most like Beth March, Peeta, Cho Chang and Ross, to name a few. </span></div>

Together with my mom I baked <a href="https://rutgerbakt.nl/brood-recepten/rutger-bakt-wilt-zeeuwse-bolussen/" target="_blank">Zeeuwse bolussen</a> and let me just say- WOW. They were delicious. I've always loved this Dutch delight when my grandmother used to give them to us when she'd visited Zeeland and I hadn't eaten them in a while. We never made them ourselves before, so this was very exciting. They turned out so well and I can't wait to bake them again. </div>
<br />
This month I've also started watching Friends again, from the beginning. It's such a nice and comfortable series to watch. I put them on in my lunch breaks and sing to 'I'll be there for you.'<br />
<br />
And now, at the end of the month, school has started again. The last two courses before summer vacation starts! And my first time following the courses online... Up till now it has been weird and I really need to get used to it still, but the online seminars have something funny about them. It's great we're using all this technology to still stay in contact and continue as before. I do hope we'll be able to look forward more optimistically in the next few weeks, but until then I'll just be online and trying to plan my day as good as possible.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last Sunday I cried my eyes out watching <i>Dead Poets Society</i>. It made me want to live my life to the fullest, read poetry, go to classes, go to a dark cave with my friends, study literature... Isn't it beautiful that movies can have this effect on humans? How we laugh and cry and feel for these characters as they go through an adventure or life-changing experience? How we empathize and think about these moving images on a screen? For school I've done a lot of research in emotions and the movies and the connection between the two. I find it fascinating how this works and how we, as spectators, can feel what characters feel, whilst we're just sitting in a cinema or at home. I just love it. I just love movies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And my love for movies just gets bigger and bigger. And that is mainly thanks to the movies on this list.</div>

A few years ago I showed you one of my art class projects in high school in <a href="https://and-eva.blogspot.com/2017/09/surrealisme-in-een-lijstje.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. I never actually shared my graduation art project on this blog and I still really want to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And so, I will share the story of how I made an empty shoebox slightly more interesting... </div>

<br />
I started of with gathering pictures and ideas and had a big brainstorm session to come up with concepts for my final project, which would be a big chunk of my final grade for Art History. I decided I wanted to do something with a shoebox. I came across one of the early cinematic experiences in a museum, a diorama, and was immediately inspired by it. By placing different elements of a scene behind each other, it created this amazing three-dimensional effect.<br />
<br />
At first it was my plan to create a scene like this myself, perhaps by looking through a window in the shoebox. But then I got a better idea: to make a box where you could look into at both sides and see something completely different.<br />

I wanted to create a big contrast between the two sides, so it had to be a difference of day and night. So I literally gave one side a dark, starry sky and the other a blue sky. Through the peeping hole of one side you could see the other (and the other way around). </div>

For the 'day' side I wanted to make it a happy scene with natural elements. I added mountains and waves, and later I would add a road, people and houses. Looking through the eye-shaped peephole you could then see a beautiful scene.<br />
<br />
The peephole from the other side would later be 'camouflaged' by making it into a sun. Both sides got a little flap which the viewer could open up, but when closed it would be either a sun, or on the 'night' side, a moon.<br />
<br />

Then here was an element I really struggled with. A lot. I had this idea to put a quote in the middle of the scene, hanging to the ceiling of the box. It took me such a long time to get it all glued to the right spot and occasionally they fell back down again. It says 'I see, I see' in the day scene and 'What you don't see...' in the night scene. This was done to exaggerate that nothing (or no-one) is what it seems...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also wanted to add holes in the ceiling so the scene wouldn't be too dark. I decided to cut and fold some pieces upward and downward so the inside would be somewhat more... visible. </div>

Here I added the rest of the scene. I actually took a long time until I placed everything inside, since it all had to be sturdy as well as visible from both sides. I added younger and older people so they would symbolize youth and old age. On these pictures you can also see the sun very clearly. </div>

The 'day' side was done! And unfortunately I do not have a good picture of the result on the other side... But on the pictures above you can see the elements I used for the night scene: Eucalyptus branches were placed at the back of the houses, so they were not visible from the 'day' side. I added glue strings to them to make it look like spider webs. A girl is sitting on one of them and looking at the moon. The moon is placed on the peephole on the other side. Then I added the clouds and octopus and whale on the other side of the waves. So in the night scene you were looking into a night sky. If you look closely at the day scene, you can see the mast of a boat. On the night sky you can still see the mast of the boat, but it is attached to a whale (nothing is what it seems!). </div>

These final pictures are from the day we had to present everything on a table. We had to lay out our final work, but also everything we did up until the finished product. So I added sketches and designs I made. Some made it into the final work and some didn't. I also had a paper where I explained what this work symbolized and how to use it. The theme I had chosen was called 'on the road'. I literally added a road in the scene, but it also had a different meaning to me: I interpreted it as in on the road of life. My first assignment for art at my high school had also been making a peep box, so this was a good example of how much I'd grown on this road and how my high school "road" had now come to an end.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Quarantine really brings the creativity craft monster in me to the surface. I feel like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B-aIfAPnXBG/" target="_blank">this lady over here</a>. I've been drawing more, experimenting with watercolors and now I even made my own stamps, something I've wanted to do for ages. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will give you some tips and tricks to make your own stamp, if you read the above and thought: well, I want to make my own stamps too now. It's a proper do it yourself! And a fun and simple way to decorate pages, cards and maybe even cloth (if you're really getting into it)!</div>

<br />
I first drew the design I liked on the eraser. I went for a little rainbow. It's a really simple shape, but the carving out a figure does take some practice. I suggest making a simpler design first, one that doesn't take too much carving. These are also the ones that look better as a pattern in my opinion!<br />
<br />
Then, carefully, carve the eraser. You have to carve what you don't want to see on the paper. For example: I carved around the three bows so these would show in the final stamp on paper, and I wanted the rest of the square not to be visible. You could also swap it and carve out the three bows, so you see the outlines of the rainbow but not the inside on the stamp.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
⭐︎ always cut in a direction away from your hands and body!</div>
<br />
If you did all that, you have your own stamp and are ready to dip it in ink and stamp it on <i>everything</i>. If you're still not happy with the end result or some things are showing on the paper you don't want to see, simply carve out those bits (or carve them out deeper) and try the stamp again. (All my ink was dried out, so that's why the rainbow is a bit grainy...)<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">De Muren van Dironve</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Proloog</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Een flits verlicht de kamer. De kleine kamer. Met een klein bureautje. Aangevreten door de tijd. Een spiegel, waarvan de randen zijn verroest en hier en daar een stukje uit is, waardoor de houten wand erachter zichtbaar is. Een nachtkastje, met enkel een kaarshouder erop en een boek. "Wonderen van de Oude Wereld" leest de voorkant onder een laagje vers stof. Uit het boek steekt een krantenknipsel, dienend als boekenlegger. Een donderslag. Naast het kastje staat een krakend oud bed, dat al ruim 19 jaar zijn werk doet. En op dat bed zit een meisje. In kleermakerszit. Met haar dunne deken opgetrokken tot aan haar kin. Haar witte nachtjapon lijkt op te lichten in het woeste natuurgeweld dat zich buiten afspeelt. Bijna net zo woest als haar haren. Klaarwakker. Het gezicht van het meisje straalt... Een paar verdwaalde sproetjes en gebruinde huid onthullen dat ze veel uren in de zon doorbrengt. Haar mondhoeken krullen om zodra de hemel openbreekt. Als deze buien niet zo zeldzaam waren geweest, had ze nooit rechtop in bed gezeten. Maar dat waren ze wel. Grote spetters water vallen uit de lucht. Ze vallen op de korstige, droge grond. Je kunt de aarde bijna horen zuchten van de dorst die nu zo plots wordt gelest. De bomen bedanken de hemel en laten zich lachend kietelen door het water. De uitgedroogde gewassen knisperen onder het gewicht van de druppels en de wind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Volg die wind, ruisend over de aarde. Verder naar het Noorden, niet heel veel verder, daar raakt een enorm bouwwerk doorweekt. De druppels lopen als tranen langs de stenen muren en laten een donker spoor achter. Gegraveerd in de bogen staan oorlog en verdriet. De luiken dicht. Verborgen, verscholen van het licht. Mos en blauweregen bekruipen de wanden en piepen tussen alle kieren en gaten. Wat ooit een groots huis was, zag nu o zo somber. Wat ooit was… Al die glorie nu vergaan. Zal het ooit weer in zijn oude staat hersteld worden? De man voor het raam op de tweede verdieping kijkt uit over zijn landgoed. Een twinkel wordt in zijn ogen onthuld wanneer in de verte een donderslag klinkt. Een sprankje hoop die hij sinds kort heeft weten op te leven. Een zucht van verlangen. Niet lang meer. Niet lang meer wachten. Nooit lang meer wachten. Ja. Met ogen smachtend naar de toekomst blijft zijn blik rusten op de horizon.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In het Verre Noorden, op diezelfde horizon, verder verder verder weg. Daar ligt een kasteel. Met kamers, niet op een hand te tellen. Zelfs niet op twee. Wel te tellen zijn de gevulde kamers. Vijf om precies te zijn. Eén: Die van een gebroken koning. Ondanks alles nog steeds aan het hoofd, maar zijn hart verloren. Kwijtgeraakt toen zijn vrouw hem stal en meenam in haar graf. Koning van een kapot land. Dienaar van de pijn. Het land is verscheurd door armoede en rijkdom. Door een verlangen naar verandering. Hij is er niet meer. Hij is er al lang niet meer. Het tweede gevulde vertrek? Elf ministers. Elf meningen. Elf problemen. De vergaderzaal, het lijkt er nooit stil te staan. Maar ook nooit vooruit te komen. Oude regels. Hun stemmen galmen door de gangen en overheersen zelfs het geluid van donder. De andere kamers behoren tot het resterende personeel van de koning. Een ober, een dienstmeid, een kok. Niet in staat om naar huis terug te keren, nog steeds bereid te blijven om voor de koning te zorgen. Of wat er van hem over is. Ze ruimen de volle borden op die hij laat staan. Hard aan het werk om het kasteel niet tussen hun vingers te laten glippen. Ze zijn enige machine die nog draait. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Laat me je voorstellen aan een land genaamd Dironve. Al werd het land niet altijd zo genoemd. Sterker nog, het was niet altijd één land. Nadat de aarde geteisterd werd met de Derde Oorlog veranderde alles. Dironve werd geboren op de sterfdag van Europa. De Muren zouden hen beschermen tegen al wat kwaad is. Maar wat als al het kwade zich tussen de Muren bevindt?</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Het is een onwijs gek idee dat ik aan het begin van de maand nog in Keulen zat. Gek hoe alles in een maand tijd zo kan veranderen. Maar wat hier wel het mooie van is, is dat ik de tripjes en vakanties die ik heb kunnen maken nu meer begin te waarderen. Nu alles wordt afgelast zie ik in hoe bijzonder het is om wel die uitstapjes te kunnen doen.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;">Thuisblijven is voor een huismus zoals ik geen grote opgave. Wel vind ik het eng en schokkend en bijzonder hoe veel impact dit alles uitoefent op de wereld en op mijn wereldje. Ik kan het niet goed onder woorden brengen. Maar vooralsnog was maart een maand om op terug te blikken. En daarom een kleine notitie over mijn maart in deze post :)</span></div>

In de eerste week van maart ging ik samen met een uni vriendin naar Amsterdam, waar we Little Women voor het eerst zagen! Ik had net die dag ervoor het boek uitgelezen en was onwijs benieuwd naar de film. Wie weet komt er nog een postje over ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'Naar de film gaan' voelt nu ook al zo gek om te zeggen. Oh wat mis ik dat! Nu geniet ik wel extra veel van de filmavondjes die we nu thuis op de bank houden. Zo keek ik samen met mijn familie Frozen II en Breakfast at Tiffany's.</div>

En toen volgden de strengere maatregelen. Plots kon ik niet meer naar school en naar mijn werk. Toch gaat het "uni-leven" nog gewoon door, maar dan online. Ik schreef voor school een artikel over de film <i>Sobibor</i> en de overlevenden van de ontsnapping. Een heftig, maar interessant onderwerp om te onderzoeken. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Daarnaast is een klein lichtpuntje in deze situatie toch wel alle online lessen, video's en instagram live's die nu worden gedaan door creatives om iedereen een hart onder de riem te steken. En iets te doen te geven. Nu heb ik genoeg te doen, maar pikte ik toch een lesje schattige dieren tekenen van <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hyshil/?hl=en" target="_blank">Hyshil</a> mee op instagram. </div>

<br />
Ook heb ik (eindelijk) mijn kamer eens goed opgeruimd. Ik verzamel altijd van alles en nog wat en vind het moeilijk om dingen weg te gooien. Nu heb ik mezelf toch even streng toegesproken en bij elk item afgevraagd: "Does this spark joy?" Zo niet, hup, naar de kringloop. (Al moet ik nog wel wachten tot de kringloop weer open gaat...)<br />

De zon scheen volop deze maand ☼ De tinten die de lucht kleuren tijdens een zonsondergang zijn mijn favorieten. Ik wandelde ook met mijn familie door de buurt, gewoon om even een frisse neus te halen en niet binnen te zitten en dat was fijn. Ook zwaaiden we nog even naar mijn opa en oma, vanachter het raam. Dat was wel gek, maar alles om hen veilig te houden. <br />

<br /></div>Ik nam eindelijk tijd om te schrijven. Vier jaar lang heeft dit verhaal in mijn hoofd gewoond en ik durfde nooit echt te beginnen met schrijven. En nu heb ik al zeker vier hoofdstukken af en ik ben ook daadwerkelijk blij met wat ik heb geschreven! Duss misschien leuk om een keertje iets met jullie te delen?? Misschien ooit ergens... <br />

Did someone say Disney?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are spending a lot of time at home these days, maybe binging a few Disney movies may bring joy to your daily routine! And since I'm baffled with all the options every time I open up the app, I thought I'd make a list of disney movies I'd definitely watch again. To make my life easier, and to give you some tips on what movies to maybe add to your own list!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I also had a little too much fun pasting my head on all of these images. I hope it doesn't freak you out. <strike>It certainly has that effect on me.</strike></span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
the princess diaries (I & II)</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anne Hathaway & Julie Andrews. Need I say more? This coming of age movie from 2001 is one of my all-time favorites. It's romantic and sappy, but in a good way. It teaches some great lessons about life (and being queen) and at the end I just really want to live in Genovia and have Julie Andrews as my grandmother. A must see for everyone who loves to watch genuine friendships and the struggles of teenage life.</div>

<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
narnia</h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have such good memories of this movie, because every time I was home alone, one of the Narnia movies would be on the television to give me comfort. It's about family and also filled with adventure and humor. And if you've watched them all you'll probably end up looking behind all the clothes in your closet and dreaming of your own Narnia. The movie allows you to use your own imagination whilst also tackling some important issues. A must watch for everyone who loves magic!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
cinderella</h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
This movie is old-fashioned disney magic. I don't feel like cinderella is really the modern feminist hero in this adaptation, but the movie has such a beautiful message: be kind. It's about kindness and finding a new family and forgiveness and it's powerful. A great adaptation with also a beautiful musical score & cinematography. And Lily James is just a real life Disney princess.</div>

<h4>
beauty and the beast</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking of real life Disney princesses! Emma Watson. She is my hero, and the perfect heroine in Beauty and the Beast. The role of Belle was made for her in my opinion. The music's great, the costumes, the characters, cast and the whole aesthetic of the film gives me all the French vibes. Whether you watch the classic or the adaptation, it doesn't matter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
tangled</h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course I had to include one of my favourite animated disney movies. Since i have already watched this film about 472 times and it still is not boring I'm allowed to say it's the best movie ever. It's got eve-ry-thing: action, adventure, romance and a not so typical one. Tangled is such a great twist on one of the old fairytales, with the most beautiful artwork and animation. She has a dream, and that kind of makes me dream every time I watch the movie.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">walking along the rhein, catching a few sunrays in the park, cheesecake at schmitz, the starry ceilings in the dom, hiding from the rain, eating the biggest schnitzel, the feeling of vacation... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And all of this just 3 hours away from home! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My mom & I took a trip to Köln (Cologne) in Germany! It may sound really random, which it kind of was, but I really wanted to go to the OneRepublic concert & we decided to add a few extra days to explore the city. This felt like the best mini-vacation to just get out of my normal routine. </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you ever decide to visit Cologne, maybe this post will give you some ideas on what to see and what to do whilst you’re there!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After a morning in the 'college benches' I went back to the train station to meet up with my mom! At 3 our train to Cologne would depart and we had some time to kill. So at Utrecht Centraal we decided to get a cup of coffee (I had a caramel macchiato, which is one of the first coffees I actually really enjoyed!). After that we bought umbrellas, a key item when visiting any place in Germany during winter/spring, but I had totally forgotten to bring one. We also bought lunch to eat on the train and then went to the platform! In almost three hours we arrived, which flew by, and the train ride was very comfortable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we stepped out of the station we could already see the beautiful dom towers that characterize the city. I was in awe. The building so tall and so extravagant. Cologne was bombed during the second World War, but most of the dom remained standing. After that it was renovated. I couldn't wait to see it up close, but we decided to drop off our suitcases at our hotel first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stayed at the <i>Classic Hotel Harmonie</i>, which is pretty much in the centre. The room was very lovely and we were especially excited about the Rituals shower gels they had :)</div>

<br />
Then we went to explore the city! All the highlights are in close proximity to each other, so we were able to see them on foot. We went to the dom and looked around inside the building (which was free). then we walked richting the river Rhine, where a bridge with hundreds of locks stretched across the river. The sun slowly went down and from the bridge we had a lovely view of the old centre of the city. We walked by several restaurants when it started to rain. In a cute cobbled street we decided to step inside a restaurant. It was called <i>B</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>rauhaus Sünner im Walfisch </i>if you are interested! They served the best schnitzel and I was completely content with the warm meal.</span><br />

The next day we woke up to another beautiful sunny morning. I was chuffed with the breakfast options they had and especially loved the <i>kaiserbrötchen</i>. Then we started another touristy day, this time deciding to visit the Belgian Quarter. We went there by metro and had a lot of difficulty finding the right tickets to do so. In the end we discovered that you can buy tickets <i>on</i> the platform and that they didn't accept our cards. So, before you visit Cologne, I would highly recommend looking a bit more into the public transport options and tariffs. But we made it!<br />
<br />
The Belgian Quarter (<i>Belgischen Viertel</i> in German) is a neighborhood with lots of cool concept stores and places to eat. We strolled around and were a little early (all the shops opened at 11 or 12 o'clock on Wednesday) but that gave us the chance to get familiar. At one point we stumbled across a little park in the middle of the city and enjoyed the sun on a bench.<br />

After the pauze in the park we walked back, in the direction of the metro, and got seated at a little café called Schmitz we came across on our way there. We ordered cake and tea/coffee. They have the most delicious cheesecake!<br />

That night we went to the Palladium by bus to see the concert. When we arrived at the venue the queue in front of the Palladium was incredibly long, so we had to walk all the way to the end of the street. Not long after that we could take a spot and it surprised me how close to the stage we still could stand. The evening was incredibly tiring, but so worth it. OneRepublic was amazing and also did a few of my favourite songs of theirs.</div>

The last day was the most relaxed. We had almost seen everything from our list, so we could act like locals and revisited the Belgische Viertel. We sat down for lunch at Herr Pimock on Aachener Strasse, which I highly recommend. They had a really delicious falafel burger!! <strike>Actually still craving another bite of that burger right now...</strike> Anyways, after that we walked to the <i>4711</i> building where 'Eau de Cologne' was founded and I bought a little bottle as souvenir. We explored a few more shops and when our feet were tired we decided to drink a cup of tea. We had our ereaders with us so we spent some time reading. I actually finished reading <i>Little Women</i> that day! After that we picked up our suitcases and went to the train station, where our little trip officially ended. On the way home we ate pretzels for dinner and I watched <i>Locke & Key</i>, a series on Netflix I really enjoyed. </div>

I feel very lucky I was able to make this trip with my mom and of course especially when keeping recent events in mind. I hope you are not feeling too anxious about the virus that is spreading and that you all stay safe and healthy. Optimism is key! We will get through this <3 I must say I'm not too worried, but only for the people whom the virus is a danger to. I think it's good to keep in mind that most of us are strong enough to battle this virus.</div>

this past month was a nice month. but if you had asked me that at the start, i would have sighed at the prospect of this busy february. i really struggled to find a good routine and felt insecure about my abilities. i was a little down, but didn't want to be down. now i'm glad i felt sad, because it made me appreciate the small, good moments more and i became aware of my feelings and why i was feeling them. moreover, february gave me a lot of those happy moments.</div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">week 1</span> - as i said before, my month started off busy and time flew by. looking back at the pictures i took, i did manage to find some quiet time for myself. i babysitted at my neighbors', where they had a tony's bar for me :) and watched kiki's delivery service (really got into hayao miyazaki's movies, which are now on netflix!) also, the cat in the movie made me think of my own cat, pip, who strategically placed herself on top of my chair. </div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">week 4 -</span> more festivities in the last week of february! i had all sorts of deadlines and a test which stressed me out, but at the end of that week we did manage to go on a little getaway to belgium. it was my dad's birthday, so i made a little card for him. we celebrated his bday in ghent, which is such a lovely city. it has the cutest shops and a lot of great architecture. this was the second time we visited ghent and i definitely want to go back when it's summer.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">on the last thursday of january my mom & i spent the day in amsterdam. i had my eye on an exposition about audrey hepburn i wanted to go to in the beurs van berlage and so we went together! it was called 'intimate audrey'. it was as if we were flipping though family photo albums of audrey hepburn. i cannot describe how much that woman inspires me. because of who she was, so classy and so pure. she just understood. i wish i could have met her once, but this exposition felt like a meeting in a different way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
her gracefulness, the way she held herself. how she looked at the world and at the possibilities she could bring. she inspires me more than i can say.<br />
<br />
we then (of course) bought a dvd set with a few of audrey's movies, which we'll probably all watch very soon!<br />
<br />
the remains of the day we spent shopping in the 9 straatjes. we had lunch at pluk amsterdam and ate dinner at the food hallen. it was so much fun to be out and about with my mom. i definitely want to make more little trips like this this year!<br />

although some stories tell us to 'never look back', i find it quite nice to take a step back once in a while. and so, with the first days of february slowly dawning upon this new year, i wanted to look back at my january. the things i loved, read, felt and did. i collected a few pictures from my camera roll that perfectly captured the first month of 2020. will you tag along?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>what i did</u></div>
this month was the second month at my new job. i still feel like i have a lot to learn, which is okay, but it bothers me to feel insecure about the things i do at work. i'm still looking for my own acceptance in this period of learning and newness, but it's hard and tiring. i do feel like it will all be worth it though, i really like this job.<br />

<br />
the last weeks of january i didn't have any classes, but we got time to write on our papers. i was a lot at home in front of my laptop, typing away about movement in 4d cinema and in another paper i did research on a conflict between two big cinema organizations after the second world war. the days seemed to blend into one another, but at the 27th i finished writing and handed the assignments in! i treated myself to a relaxed afternoon: walking through utrecht, visiting my favourite spot; the domgarden, and had nice lunch. it was weird to sit by myself. i always go to cafes <i>with</i> someone. it was a strange experience, but i did like it. it felt really independent haha.<br />

<br />
<u>what i read</u><br />

i finished reading <i>brooklyn</i> and <i>little</i> <i>women</i><br />
<br />

<br />
<u>what i created</u><br />
i started to experiment more with procreate, which i have on my phone. drawing on a small screen is not ideal, but i did love to practice digital drawing. and i had a lot of fun creating collages, like the one at the top of this page and down here!<br />
<br />
<u>what i listened to</u><br />
i'm listening to kensington lots. their music speaks to my soul. i love it.<br />
<br />
<u>on the planning for february:</u><br />
i really really really want to see little women in theaters. it's so annoying that we have to wait until the 6th of february in the netherlands, when everyone seems to have already seen it!! i do think it will all be worth the wait ;)<br />

first we went to the voorlinden museum. quite a little trip from den haag centraal and a little walk, but the beauty of nature welcoming us there made it worth it. the museum lies in a big park with a lake and trees and walking paths. it has a restaurant where we had lunch. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">the museum has three expositions which you can visit. we saw louise bourgeois and anselm kiefer's work. what we were most excited about were the permanent exhibitions.</span></div>

i don't think i would visit voorlinden museum again, but it was a really lovely place to be for one day. it felt relaxed & i loved the kind of more 'interactive' type art, like the swimming pool and the tiny elevators. part of the fun, for me, was taking pictures of the art and the people looking at the art. but my preference in museums might be the more impressionist and classical paintings. i love monet, rubens and van gogh. </div>

when the sun was starting to set we went back to the city centre by bus. we walked and walked (my shoes were killing me) until we reached the mauritshuis and the binnenhof, where the sky was painted a beautiful baby blue and pink and the lowering sun set a golden hue to the buildings. it was all like a painting. </div>

there we wandered around for a bit. the air was cold. when we were starting to feel hungry we went looking for a place to eat and ended up by an italian place called burrata very close to the train station. when our bellies were filled with pizza & iced tea, we went back home. </div>

First of all, happy new year! I hope you all had a lovely first two weeks (already!) of the year 2020. I certainly did, but last monday the uni-life kind of exploded in my face and I was reminded of the fact how much I still needed to do before the end of the week. But everything went well and I'm feeling this great energy to start this new year!</div>

Over the two weeks of my holiday I took a few snaps of what I was doing & loving. I always love to read weeklogs, but if I were to do them they wouldn't be very interesting. ("So... I went to school. Again.") That's why this recap could be a bit more interesting, since I had the time to do some things else than school ;)</div>

<i>21 december</i> - I took this random selfie on the 21st of December. I had probably just finished the take home exam for one of my courses. Still haven't got the grade back, but I have a good feeling about it. That evening I had to work at my new job, which was very exciting. Up till now I've been really enjoying it, but I still get a bit anxious before every shift. I hope that'll go away soon.</div>

<i>22 december</i> - That week I had a little project: designing my first ixxi! This is a really fun poster that consists of different parts. My mom and I wanted to have one from our Malaysia trip in the summer vacation, so I scrolled through all my pictures and came up with this design. A week later it came in the mail and we hung it on the wall! </div>

<i>23 december</i> - Speaking of projects: remember me talking about polymer clay earrings a post ago? I'd gotten clay as a present and really wanted to make my own earrings, so that is what these little dusty pink flowers are supposed to become. I still need to bake them :)<br />

<i>24 december</i> - Christmas day was approaching. My brother and I were making the dessert: a raspberry cheesecake with a brownie base. It was absolutely delicious. The first time trying it I didn't even really taste it, because I was anxious what the others thought about it. My grandpas and grandma came over that night and the whole dinner was better than I anticipated.</div>

<i>new year's eve</i> - And then twas the last eve of 2019! Is it just me, or did 2019 really fly by? At 12 o'clock we went outside and I held some starlets. Firework isn't really my thing, I just like watching them. From afar. But I loved the evening and the games I did with my family. </div>

<i>3 january</i> - It was my mother's birthday on this date, so we had a fun-filled day! In the morning we gave her presents and then we had to be off, because my father, brother and I went to see Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker, and my mother and other brother went to see Frozen 2. I've kind of fallen in love with Star Wars over the past couple of weeks (at first I didn't really understand it, but now I do) (kind of) because of The Mandalorian (and baby yoda). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
... and forward to 2020!</div>
<br />
We're entering a new decade! Which feels so weird and cool to say at the same time. I don't remember entering the last decade in 2010, but I do remember entering 2019 with a sigh of relief 2018 had come to an end. I did value that year and everything I'd learned from the experiences I had. But it felt like the end of a stressful year and that was just what I needed.<br />
<br />
2019 went very differently for me. I felt like I could take control of my life and change things for the better. This year I loved studying, the road ahead school-wise. And I watched a loooott of movies. Of course there is always the fear of 'getting a job' or the question 'what I will be able to do after I graduate', but I like what I'm doing now. I'll see what opportunities come on my path in two years.<br />
<br />
I got a taste of what love might feel like. And it unfortunately disappeared quickly, by forces I couldn't control.<br />
<br />
I made the trip of a lifetime. Went to Malaysia with my family and good friends of ours, which I look back on with so much joy and wonder filled memories. Even now I get reminded of the things we did and saw and get a big smile on my face.<br />
<br />
I turned twenty years old and was surprised by my friends, whom I now see even more than last year. (Which I looove & brings so much more laughter in my life)<br />
<br />
I got a new job at a theatre at the end of this year. It's still all so new, but I'm so glad I made that step. I also (finally) got my driver's license after taking the exam 4 times. And it feels like such a relief.<br />
<br />
For 2020 I wish lots more trips and wonderful moments. With or without my family. Since I will be studying abroad next school year, being away from my family will happen more often. I hope I'll be able to find peace with that and grow in the ability to take care of myself. I hope I'll be able to be at peace with the doubts and fears I sometimes feel when people expect something from me. And I expect too much of myself. I hope I fail and make mistakes. That will be my resolution for 2020: make mistakes. Lots of 'em. Learn to fix the problems, but also know that it is okay when something feels uncomfortable. Not everything has to be perfect. Really.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And most of all: I wish you all a lovely last evening of 2019. And to see lots of you in 2020!</div>

The most festive, coziest, food-and-family filled holiday is almost upon us! And whilst there is a Christmas playlist melody playing I am typing up this blogpost. For a lot of people Christmas is the equivalent of gift-giving to the ones we hold most dear. In my family we don't celebrate Christmas with presents, but in Holland we have a tradition at the beginning of December called Sinterklaas. That's when we give presents to each other (& the littles get presents from Sinterklaas), so Christmas is basically about food & fam. But!! That doesn't mean that I don't need ideas for presents...<br />

for the artist </h4>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">jewelry diy</span> - a trend I've spotted on Pinterest the past weeks are the Polymer Clay earrings. I love them. And why not make them yourself? If you like diy-ing give a personalized set of handcrafted earrings, or give the clay as a present for the crea his/herself!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">aquarel set </span>- A travel kit with watercolors is always a good idea. If the gift receiver already has a set, maybe you can find out what colors they would like to add to their collection. In lots of art shops you can buy the little palettes separately!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">washi tape</span> - an artist can never have too much washi tape. Enough said, right? At Hema they have beautiful star themed tape which I've been using non-stop since I got them.<br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
for the booklover</h4>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">brooklyn by colm tóibín</span> - I got this book from a friend and I found it a great and thoughtful gift. It's about an Irish girl traveling to the US to start a new job. A book full of new beginnings. Since I'm having some of those myself, I find such comfort in the book.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><a href="https://www.donner.nl/little-women/alcott-louisa-m/9781912714292" target="_blank">little women </a>by louisa may alcott</span> - A classic in a new coat. And more classics have a beautiful cover like this special edition. Beautiful flowers pop up from the front on other books like Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">the raven cycle by maggie stiefvater</span> - As you might know I love this series. So I highly recommend giving it to your YA, fantasy-loving friend or family member.<br />

for the interior designer</h4>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">starry starry banner</span> - If you love stars and banners: this is the perfect gift to ask or to give to someone who loves it just as much. I must say you can't go wrong with this one ;)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">poster / art prints</span> - This christmas, maybe consider shopping small. Take a look on Etsy to find an art print from your favourite artist on instagram to give as a gift to yourself or others! Or look for a vintage movie poster of their favourite film!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">calendar</span> - Every year I buy a new calendar, even though I don't really use it a lot. It's a nice thing to decorate some white walls with! The calendar on the picture is my 2020 calendar, from Sostrene Grene.<br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ring</span> - Jewelry is something I always forget is a great gift for friends or family. My mom gifted me this ring from Artesia and I can't stop looking at my hand (with the ring on it).<br />

Ahhh I still remember that sweet winters day in 2015 when I started my blog... How time flies (when you're having fun but also some hard times)!<br />
<br />
I remember doubting every step I took at the beginning of this adventure. And look at us now! So much has happened. And even in these busy weeks (especially this one, school deadlines...) I wanted to dedicate a post to this amazing anniversary. Partly because I never ever would have thought I'd still be doing this now, but I love it.<br />
<br />
I feel like I was kind of original at the beginning of this journey. I came up with new ideas to post and things to write about. I've kind of lost that over the years due to lack of time or energy. But now I feel like I'm slowly regaining my voice and just filling my blog with my interests. In the upcoming year I'd like to do this even more. I already have some ideas to incorporate my art in my blog and the exchange abroad which I'm going to make at the beginning of September next year will be another highlight that I can't wait to share.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And for anyone who reads this: Thank you for your support, kind words and the fact that you're reading this. It means more to me than you know. I hope you have a lovely sunday & will stick with me for another year <3</div>

Hi again! If you remember <i><a href="https://and-eva.blogspot.com/2019/09/stay-magical.html#more" target="_blank">this</a></i> post, you're in for something quite similar with this post... I created three new phone wallpapers for free! If you see something you like, please feel free to download them & use them on your screens! It's a bit different than my usual drawing style and it was fun to create more abstract looking pieces. I'd love to hear what you think...<br />
