Friday 5

This week, the Friday 5 are a day late. It happens. Life got a bit busier than expected. I didn’t forget it though. So… Let’s go.

Song

Paul Kalkbrenner x Stromae – que ce soit clair

At first glance this is an atypical song for me to share. On second glance, it makes a lot of sense. I am not bound to a genre, but to the feeling of a song. And this one is quite great, I’d say.
Here is the same song on Spotify.

Photo

Choosing a photo this week was a bit difficult. I took many great pictures and would share them all in a heartbeat, but the above is important too. Why? Because it shows all my publications in one photo and seeing the covers side by side is, at least for me, awesome. You see, I will never be a best-selling author and no matter which ways I try, I can’t seem to find an audience outside the blog. Most days that is completely okay, and it is enough to be able to hold my own words in print in my hands. Other days the dreamer in me fantasies about being discovered, going on a book tour and performing my poetry for an interested audience.

Post

After the curtain
After the Curtain is the epilogue of sorts, the last explanations after the play I wrote and shared all last week. The posts were all scheduled. I still cannot explain what drove me to write it and extend it to 7 acts, but for me, it somehow worked. The play is not different from my poems, it’s the same theme, but with this format, it breathes differently. We were love.

Visitors

USA 🇺🇸

India 🇮🇳

UK 🇬🇧

Spain 🇪🇸

Netherlands 🇳🇱

Thank you for being there. There seems to be a bit more balance these last weeks in who comes to visit. I am sure you are aware, but if you read something on this blog that has value to you, don’t be afraid to share it. It amazes me that my words and everything that lives in my head has readers all around the world. It makes me smile.

Thoughts

Here we are. Another week older. Another week under the belt. For me personally, it was a bit of a challenging week. I cannot explain why, but my mood was very rotten and not even sunshine warming my cheeks helped it. The truth is, I felt lonely this week. And while I could have remedied that by being active, I couldn’t. I was too tired and detached. I wanted/needed connection, but I couldn’t make it happen. It’s a vicious circle. I am not sure how to break it yet, but at the same time, I am never stuck in this loop for too long (two weeks tops).

Anyway… How to end this on a lighter note? Friday 5 also work as Saturday 5. While I am writing this, I see that that song won’t load… I’ll work on that after sharing the post. 🙂

Be kind to yourselves, forgive yourselves more, not everything needs to be perfection.

Have a nice weekend xx
