Hey there, let me reintroduce myself: my name is Eline, and I'm the one behind this blog. I haven't posted on here for almost two months though, so I thought it was only right to explain why I took a break. I took a creative break, not consciously at first, but one that I maintained...

The Quarter-Life Crisis.
I'm sure most of you have heard of the mid-life crisis. The cliché we often see in movies where a middle-aged person is lost in life, not knowing what to do next and overall just feeling stuck.

Let me start off this post by saying that I'm not a person that smiles a lot. It's not because I'm always sad, or always angry, it because of something I believe is called "resting bitch face".

Don’t Be So Quite.
The phrase "don't be so quite" is one I have heard countless times. Teachers used to love mentioning that I didn't really talk much in class, highlighting it in my report cards, at parent teacher conferences and to my face. In my friend groups, I'm usually known as the "shy, quite one". At both of... Continue Reading →
