Be The Best You You Can Be.

I'm back! A lot has happened the past 2 years. So here's just a little update.

In 2018 I reached my lowest point in life, a lot of abuse happened. So I crashed in march 2019. I didn't know who I was or what I wanted to do with my life. I felt stuck, nothing I was doing felt right anymore. I was studying criminology, but that didn't go too well, my relationship was crumbling (even tho I didn't accept it) and my situation at home was as awful as ever. I had horrible panic attacks daily and was suicidal.

So I decided to quit school and admit myself to a psychiatric hospital. I stayed there for about 10 months, from september 2019 - july 2020. A lot has changed since then. I broke up with my then boyfriend, my parents got divorced, I made a lot of amazing new friends, and I decided to go to school again. I live with my mom now, so my biological father's negativity is out of my life. I have a new boyfriend, who is respectful, sweet, and a very good listener. I chose to study something for ME, not for anyone else. I'm actually doing something I'm very passionate about: art history and archaeology. I've always wanted to study something with lots of history, and I'm finally doing it.

To be honest, even though my mental issues are still horribly difficult to deal with, I'm feeling better then ever. I feel free, free to choose what I want to do with my life. I've never experienced this before.

This is the reason I don't want to fuck up, and I'll do everything I can to succeed. That's why I'm back! The studyblr community has always given me healthy motivation to plan, study, stay organised and be healthier in general. This community is one of the healthiest influences I've ever had in my life. So why not keep this blog and continue motivating myself to do what's good for me?

So, that's my update. I know no one will probably care or read this whole thing. I'm doing this for myself, this blog is for me, and in the future I'll be able to read this post and motivate myself again.

Lots of love!

To anyone who still thinks climate change isn't real, I have a message for you.

The past three days my country, Belgium, has been suffering. It rained for 48 hours straight. Villages and cities were flooded. Homes were destroyed. People lost their lives. Not only Belgium has suffered under this extreme weather, Germany and the Netherlands as well.

I am sad, devastated even, but most importantly I am angry. I am lucky enough to be safe. I haven't lost my home or anyone close to me, but too many of my friends and family, too many people in general, have.

I've always known Belgium as a country that has stable weather. The past years we've suffered from heatwaves and now this. The weather is no longer stable. Climate change is affecting all of us, yet there are still so many people that can do something about it, but don't.
