Imagine running in the middle of the night….

Three years ago, the world drastically changed for what will probably be forever. In a moment of shared suffering, and shared uncertainty, the world both came together and became horribly and selfishly divided at the same time. People were eager to help those less fortunate than themselves - until they decided they should fear those…

Lucky Flowers in Time for Spring

Ik ben altijd al geïnteresseerd geweest in astrologie omdat het meestal over mij klopt. Ik ben Steenbok en Os, en ik werk als hem ook! I have always been interested in astrology, mainly because it is usually pretty accurate concering my personality. I am a Capricorn and an Ox, and I work like them too!…

Wat is voor jou een ultiem geluksmomentje? Voor mij, ben ik het meest gelukkig met een drankje op het terras in de zon met leuke mensen. Dat vind ik heel gezellig.

Education in the 90s

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally as she was all flustered when King Philip Came Over From Great Spain.

Sure going by an alias is good when working with kids, so they can't find you on social media, but my profiles are private anyways. My name wasn't considered authentic…

Multi-lingual Song Collage #3

Πέντε, τέσσερα...τρία, δύο, έναTu l'sais dans la vie on s'est tous plantés,Personne n'est parfait, On est tous sortis du chemin.Y'a des Jean Valjeans qui mangent leur peine*.Soms zit het even tegen,Geen zonneschijn maar regen.Quando il sole chiede alla luna dov'andro?Een dromendans op wolken... Five, four...three, two, one...You know that in life we all fall down,no…
