The picture(s):

A dreamer, enjoying beauty, love and interesting people...



...but with some black holes in her life,
she tries to brighten,
but she sometimes feels like she lost the strength within.



The poem

How
if you could
surround yourself
with light-heartedness
and that would be
your space.

~Bert Schierbeek~



(The above poem is translated from the Dutch version by myself,
i hope the magic of it didn't get lost when translating it into English.)

The song or piece of music

This was a very difficult one, because as you all will agree,
there are too many gorgeous songs to name just one.
I had to make a choice.
I chose this song because her voice is just beyond words,
and it touches me every time i hear it.



Other favourite songs of mine are: Some devil by The Dave Matthews Band, Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen, Bridge over troubled water by Simon and Garfunkel, Staralfur by Sigur Ros, The girl you lost to cocaine by Sia, Nothing compares to you by Prince (Unfortunately i could only find the Sinead O'Connor version...), Glorybox by Portishead, Porcelain by Moby, 21 grams Theme by Gustavo Santaolalla and Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.

I really can't stop!
There are much more songs that make me happy, melancholic, sad, teary, smiling...
But all in such a good way!

The phrases or quotes

"How glorious it is, and also how painful, to be an exception."

~Alfred De Musset~



"You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall."

~Rainer Maria Rilke~



"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth."

~Fyodor Dostoevsky ~



Item of clothing

I can't live without my AA basic shirts.
Especially the Tri-blend Deep V necks.

This is quite boring, isn't it?

Other AA stuff, I'd LOVE to have!

The place

Well, that must be my own home.
Otherwise i should be some place else.
Of course i dream about other places...
in beautiful countries with breathtaking nature
and lots of sun and warmth.
But i am here.
This is my place.







Places i often dream about...





The Disney Princess

To me, there's no princess like Ariel.
I've always been a huge fan of The Little Mermaid.
