K – Kicking my butt in notebooks

This could be a post stuck in a loop. Let me explain. During the month, I read again some of my old notebooks, I found fun stuff, good ideas, uninteresting ones and some motivational speech to myself. It's cyclic. Once in a while, I talk to myself, telling me to be in action. I have…

J – Bringing JOY to writing

A few days ago, I heard someone talk about needing pain to create. I thought that was an old conversation. That we didn't say that anymore. I listened further and again, the whole point was about suffering to help you touch the deep core of your being, that place where true feelings arise. Really? What about the…

I – Ink your life

No it's not a post about tattoos. Even if I would like to talk about it. I couldn't talk about notebooks without talking about pens and ink.

Quiet streets

Quiet streets of broken dreams A cry stolen behind closed doors That no one heard That everyone ignored But, A whisper, a rumour Running underneath the shiny smiles Is it her? Was it him? I heard...
