2019 was, well... it was a rough ride. Filled with different challenges, change, promises of things that did not work out quite how I imagined it and revelations. People are going / have gone and others are coming back or new people are charging into my life. Time went by so fast in the last … Continue reading Reflections on 2019
So lately I have trouble sleeping... it is past 12 on Tuesday and after 2.5 hours of whirling around in my bed; trying breathing exercises or to generally stop thinking I have given up.

So it has been a while since my last 'rebel-against-the-negativity-of-the-world' post. A couple of things have changed. I was given the opportunity to join a new company on a permanent basis, which meant me having to resign from my fixed term contract... trust me, being in another country does not mean your Boss reacts any … Continue reading Question of time
