About This Blog

Welcome to my blog!

I have been an avid freelance writer, blogger and author for many years. My focus has been on a variety of topics, ranging from mental health to sexuality and sex positivity, from using my photographic skills to composing fiction. But one thing that I have always shied away from is actually talking about myself in a raw, not always logical, but maybe emotional and true way. There are a lot of reasons for that. Primarily, it has been about my inability to be vulnerable: I either dissociate or generalize. But I feel that it is time for me to be real, to write about myself, about my unfiltered truth.

In a world where a lot of things are shaped to fit the norm, or emphasized to stick out, it can be difficult to show integrity, and to be authentic. If you want to become someone in this world, you need to show the side of you that most people would either follow or find intriguing. And sure, there are ways to talk about struggles in depth that lead to attention. There is a shock value to it.

But this is the first blog where my goal isn’t attention – not in the form of pity, or shock, or even aversion. I write this blog because I am challenging myself to not hold back. Because I realized that the only way for me to live, is to be true to myself. I could just post long social media posts – but that would evoke exactly what I am not seeking. I don’t want to evoke anything. I just want to be myself.

So this blog is about my struggles, about the life that I lead behind the shiny filters that I use just like everyone else. This blog is a journal. Reflective letters to myself.

If you have stumbled upon this blog, I hope that I can spark a fire in you: the one thing I really want to leave behind in this world are thoughts. So I want to make other people think and reflect. And that is really what this blog is about: reflections and thoughts.
