Does Love equal Acceptance?

I feel empty inside. I feel like the world is a very unfair and unsafe place to be in, with or without love that is. Love changes people you know, on an internal basis I mean. It changes one's view of the things that happen around you, your friends, your family. A very important aspect of love, I feel, is acceptance. We ought to, even though we often do not, accept each others flaws and imperfections, as they make the one you love themselves. The greatest of gifts from whatever place you desire, be it God or Allah or your friends, is your own personality, and the way in which you make important choices that shape your life. I love my friends, and am very thankful for the things that they have pulled me through. Some have shown their worthiness of my love, others turned out to be merely shopping mates. According to some French socialist from the French Revolution, people are group animals, and we can simply not survive on our own. Trust me I've tried, but he was right. The love your receive from your friends should navigate you through difficult times, rather than seeming to be unfair. Find out what your true qualities are, and involve them in your life to the max. Do not ever allow anyone to take that freedom from you. Being different from the crowd is not a sin, it should be seen as something valuable and interesting. Find out what and who you love, apply it in your life, and be what and who you want to be.

Love always,

A friend.

Autumn photography

Autumn in the Netherlands. It's definitely not my favourite season, but it does have its charms! It's not yet freezing outside (although it does feel that way to me!) , and those beautiful coloured leaves are literally EVERYWHERE. Perfect time to take some pictures right?


-


I spend the afternoon working in the restaurant, serving 2 private parties (one of them being a Sinterklaas party!) so I'm tired as hell now. How did you spend your sunday? (:

Knock Knock


When trying to find the perfect birthday present for one of my best friends, I came across this great brand Knock Knock. I (And I'm sure I'm not the only one!) have this obsession with everything notebook and notepad-ish. If you think so too, this brand definitely comes close to heaven! (:



Knock Knock was founded in 2002 by Jen Bilik with the mission of creating witty, design-driven gift products and books, along with anything else that might strike the Knock Knock fancy.
Our products aspire to bring humor, function, organization, and aesthetics to everyday life. We believe that people are intelligent enough to appreciate wit, wordplay, and conceptual thought.


Their collection varies from just fun notepads;





to really helping and functional ones!



It's too bad there are no selling point in The Netherlands! However, I'm seriously thinking about buying this one; :D


What do you think?
Have a look at http://www.knockknockstuff.com !

Follow me on twitter!

I proudly present to you, my special designed social media buttons!



Aren't they just lovely? (:


I don't have a special facebook page yet, but I figured designing the logo wouldn't hurt. (;


I already had a private twitter account, but this one is accessible for EVERYONE. Since I feel a little awkward tweeting for 4 followers, I would really love it if you'd follow me! My timeline still looks a little abandoned, so I want to follow as many of you as possible! :D

What I've been up to?

177962622744797928_3vsipqsa_c_large


It has been a while, again... What I've been up to lately? For starters, I finally found the courage to apply for a job at the cutest restaurant in my village! It all turned out extremely good, so since a month you can officially call me  a waitress! (: Nothing REALLY embarrassing has happened to me yet, but i'm sure I'll get my portion of clumsiness haha.
Secondly, my friends and I managed to stand FRONT row at a concert of Tyler Hilton (OTH fans?!) in Bitterzoet - Amsterdam. We shook hands, he signed my CD and he gave my friend his plectrum, how amazing! Also, I'll be enjoying Ed Sheeran in the HMH - Amsterdam tomorrow, can't wait!


We're getting closer to the best winter-month of the year; december! Sinterklaas (THE hero for all dutch kids (; ) arrived this saturday, and temperatures are getting scary low. I'm in winter atmosphere all the way!


However, I have to get back to my math-lesson... Let me know how you guys are doing, I'll see you soon!


Take care lovely!

Wonkalicious

One of my best friends N went to the USA last summer. She promised to bring me something American, but I had no idea what to expect! When she came home after 2 months of travelling (how amazing!) she gave the other girls and me these 2 candy boxes from Wonka! Probably nothing amazing AT ALL for my american readers, but I was so excited about this small gift haha! They're the sweetest sort of candy I've ever tasted, Wonkalicious! (;


Happy weekend to you all!
