It’s that time of the year again, where I get very sentimental about last year. But I think it is an good thing to think back for a second. Even if it is only to move on a little bit better. (if you don't feel like reading, skip to the last paragraph, that's about blogging)

Last year was a very weird year. I learned a lot about myself but also about life.I got to know a side of myself that I never saw before. A very insecure and emotional side. 
And even though it was very hard to accept that I failed at something, it eventually made me feel like a better and stronger person. I’ve changed a lot last year and I feel like I’ve finally started growing towards adulthood. Still have a long way to go though. Although I still think the only person you really can rely on is yourself. I also learned that you sometimes have to accept help from others. And that brings me to the part where I am going to thank everyone who has been there for me the past year.
Unfortunately I can’t take everyone with me to 2014, but I know every goodbye means an new hello. I just hope that it will be the most beautiful hello you’ve every had.
I feel like I can call myself blessed with the people I’ve around me now. So dear new and especially old friends thank you form the bottom of my heart and hopefully we’ll have a wonderful 2014 together. In 2013 I learned what I feels like to love someone the moon and back. And how it’s to be loved like that. I also learned love is hard work and is not always easy but always worth it. I love you my dear! Forever.
I am great full for all the wonderful moments! From the that time I went back to the zoo I wandered through when I was five years old, to the first time I dyed my hair for the first time, or the amazing festivals and concert I went to. Saying goodbye to my first room in the city of my (old) dreams in Arnhem. Never thought I would be so emotional about leaving a place after moving five times. 

Next year won’t be my big year, I have had enough of that for a while. Next year will be just fine with all kind of wonderful small moments and some big ones. I want to see as many things as possible, just like every year. Keep in touch with my dear friends but also make loads and loads of new ones. Maybe start an new adventure in an other country. O right I said it wouldn’t be an big year. Well we’ll see, I just hope I can keep on growing as a person. And find happiness in all moments, happy ones but also the sad ones. 

As for blogging, I came up with the idea to post more personal stuff. I've not been blogging much lately, and I though maybe I should post something personal every month.(not always this dramatic, don't worry) Kind of like a diary, because that's what blogging has been for right? The inspirational posts are also here to stay so don't worry. Oh and school kind of made me also use it for events we're going to so also expect that. Have a very marry, happy new year!!!!!

I've been obsessed with the human body for some time now. I just find it so interesting, and to be honest I just don't get it. These pictures of the France photographer Olivier Valsecchi are amaaaazing.  
These images belong to a serie called 'Klecksography' and they look like kaleidoscopic images and optical illusions. Olivier Valsecchi also made an other serie called 'I Am Dust' you should als check that out on his site!

On 6 and 7 november my classmates and I went to Playgrounds Digital Arts Festival. Playgrounds is a festival for innovative and creative digital arts. It is actually three days, in Tilburg, Eindhoven and Amsterdam. It was a really amazing experience, very inspiring. I am glad they made us go both days even though it were really long days full of listening. The three presentations I liked most were Genevieve Gauckler, Marcus Wendt of FIELD and Polynoid. The last one was definitely my favorite. Polynoid. Not only their work, but also their presentation. They talked about how they started, from art school up until where they are at now. They showed us a lot of their progress but I still have no clue how they made their animations. It is just so amazing. Loom is their graduation project and represents their style amazingly. You should really check it out below:
