Normally he wakes up early and is in bed around sunset. Not this day, he’s late today. After a fun night with friends he finds himself in a late train to home. It occurs to him that it’s such a different world late in the evening than early in the morning. People on their way to parties or going out, people that are clearly awake while he’s very tired. It’s interesting, it feels to him as being in...

I

Want to

Keep on writing

A story or poem

Every day in a row

Not skipping even one day

To show consistency in my writing

And to keep building this creative habit

It started easy just only a while ago

Now I have to put in effort to continue

But I do not want to give up just yet

So I try to keep coming up with something

A new post on every day that I write

Sometimes about my day, other days just ...

I’m sitting in the train to home. It was a long day and now I’m tired. But I’m also feeling proud. I can still do it, work long days. For a while I thought that my limits had shrunken, but that’s not the case. When needed I can still pull off long days. Realizing that actually gives me new energy. If needed I could put in a few more hours. But that’s not the plan. I think it’s time for a reward, s...

Carefully he tries to keep his balans. His feet moving up and down and make him move forward. “Keep going”, I shout to him. His hands are still shaking a bit, but he’s got a smile on his face. Who had thought that riding a bicycle could be so exciting. He’d never done it before, but since he was visiting me in the Netherlands, of course I had to let him ride a bike. So I put him on one of my old ...

The end of the day has arrived again

And I think back of how it began

I had a strong start of the day

And feeling a bit proud of that I may

Finally I went to the gym again and worked out

Of that I feel quite a bit proud

The rest of the day was just alright

I worked as much as I might

Enjoyed some cups of coffee

And went home just before three

I cooked dinner, called with grandma and went on a sh...

A cleaned up house is a cleaned up mind

That’s one the quotes on the internet you can find

Today I think there is truth in that

Because I did most of the chores that I had

Planned for this weekend to clean up my place

Doing the dishes and other things I had to face

Now I’m sitting on the couch to relax

And enjoying my house to the max

It’s nice to have things cleaned up

I did all my chores and...

Time is a topic that has been lately on my mind

The more I think and read about, the more I find

That we’re just here for a short while on earth

The clock starts ticking right from your birth

Today will never come back, what will you do with this day?

Since it’s weekend, perhaps it means that you can spend it in a fun way

To relax, go outside or spend it with people you love

You can be thankful ...

Just before the day comes to an end

I remember that I have one last task at hand

To pen down those 100 words I have comitted to write

So with my last energy I try coming up with some inspiration before I say goodnight

Long sentences like that will get me to the goal

And make todays word counter whole

Though I aspire to write something deeper than this

For now it’s the habit of writing what my foc...

When the day is ending and it’s getting dark outside

It’s back in my home where I will hide

To have some dinner and watch tv

That’s how most evenings look to me

Home can be your hiding place

Where there is no one you need to face

Just relaxing alone

Or talking with a loved one on the phone

A hiding place where you can walk around in sweatpants

And have no obligations at hands

Just relax and c...

What can one word be beautiful. Just reading this word a moment ago immediately sparked some hope in me. I’m not where I want to be… yet. I’m not as good as I’d like to be… yet. I’m not as successful as I’d like to be… yet. I’m not in a romantic relationship… yet. What’s not here can still come. It could definitely be that the best of my life is still ahead. We don’t know what the future holds and...
