My cheeks were glowing because of my elation. People around me, everywhere. At the very moment when no one was looking at me, I made a dance of joy and I whispered my happiness, so softly that no one could have heard me. When I felt that someone was looking at me, I just stood there staring at the wall like nothing ever happened. I felt my hands were shaking and my cheeks were still glowing. More and more people came into the building and my elation became bigger and bigger. My eyes were looking in all directions and a smile appeared on my face. This was the moment. I started to run through all the corridors, through all the doors, along the walls... Slowmotion. Suddenly, I fell on the ground and I blamed gravity. I was laying down for minutes and hours, but with a big smile on my face and closed eyes. I took a deep breath and I enjoyed the moment that I was just there, surrounded by people who were looking at me. Taking a chance is just a feeling.
We never say out loud how we really feel, sometimes not because we don't know how to, but because we're paralyzed with fear of what words might do. We always underestimate the power of words. Monday was the first day of spring which means new days and new chances. The rain was pouring down, flooding the streets with streams of water. The rain was washing me away and washing away all of the worries that were trapped inside my head.
Do you know those music your parents used to play when you were younger? Those music your parents danced on in the living room and played during long trips in the car, year in and year out? I can still remember all the music we played during the holidays: The Beatles, John Denver, Neil Diamond, Pink Floyd... Looking outside with our windows open while we were driving in the middle of fucking nowhere on a hot summer day. This music is gold. The seasons have changed and so did we, but those memories will never fade away. Cheers to the weekend!
Hi guys! What's up with the weather today? The sun makes me want to sing, but now I'm singing in the rain while the sun is gone! However, yesterday me and my friends went to the red carpet premiere of 'Gooische Vrouwen'. Today I feel like doing nothing at all, but I collected my energy and went to school anyway. After school I tried to made some cookies but they burned, all of them. So now I'm eating nougat instead (which is like heaven) while listening to Selah Sue live at Lowlands Festival (CLICK HERE)!
It's such a sunny day, still cold, but sunny! Here's a little story that really expresses the way I see things...
'It’s all wrong, by rights we shouldn't even be here, but we are... It’s like in the great stories. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they where. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad things happened? There is only one bad thing, the shadow. Even darkness comes on your pad. But a new day will come, and when the sunshine shines on the world it changes. Those stories stay with you, it means something. Even if you are to small to understand why. But I think, that I do understand. I know now, in these stories are a lot of chances to turn back, but they didn't. They can't go, because they holding on to something. You can ask yourself, what we holding on to? Well, I believe there is something good in this world. And that's worth fighting for.'
1. I'm very loud and sometimes I drive people crazy with my non-stop talking
2. My biggest fear? ESCALATORS!
3. After my exams I'm moving to Utrecht, all by myself. It's like the other side of my country from where I live right now. I never moved to somewhere else before... I'm very, very, very excited!

4. I wrote a book when I was like 10 years old, but never published it.
5. I played in a cinema movie, which was one of the greatest experiences in my life.

7. Spring is definitively my favourite season.
8. My grandmother is Surinamese. Which is funny, because i'm pale-skinned.
9. When I was 7 years old, I almost drowned in a river. The funny thing about that, is that after my drowning incident swimming became one of my greatest passions. Meanwhile I have 16 swimming certificates.
10. I have an obsession with movies from the 18th century, I don't know why though?
