Ik zat ergens waar ik niet behoor. Waar 't me beviel, maar ik niet behoor. Waar het leven zijn gangetje gaat of ik er wel of niet ben. Er zijn veel mensen. Ik hoor en zie ze wel, maar ken ze niet.

After staying in the 3rd world (Zambia) for more than half a year it didn't only become clear how unfair resources are divided, shared, etc - I experienced it day after day. But this short post is not about my personal single experience, about how naive I was and still am. It's about how naive all o…

"It's when people say..." Deze halve zin hangt er al ruime tijd in mijn gedachten. Ik kom er nog vanaf, nog maak ik hem af. Ik bedoel...als die schijnbaar zin-loze halve zin toch in mijn hoofd blijft haken...misschien is ie juist helemaal niet zinloos?! Misschien is ie juist heel belangrijk. Missch…

So you see: I'm soooo poor and need your support! ^^ P.S.: My brother had more or less the sa…

I settled down here just about 4 month ago. It took me just a week or two until I felt a bit like home. How come? It's just as one can read everywhere if people are writing about the ipernity community: They are kind and friendly people that make a virtual - a non-existing place feel like home just…
