Michael.

Michael is a guy who I fell in love with when I was 14. He was the only person who made me feel amazing. He helped me through cutting myself, he helped me learn how to like myself, but after him I knew he was lying and I gave up on myself. Michael destroyed me piece by piece. He could bring me up from my lowest points, but he could also put me there. I loved him more than life itself. I still love him, but Im not in love with him. We don’t talk as much, but he can still bring me up from my lowest points.

He makes me Happy.

20. Going to church. It was really fun, a famous Dutch singer came to sing and she has such an amazing voice, it almost made me cry.
21. Going to Taize, it is such a wonderful place; I can’t wait to go back. Everyone is really nice and there is a real genuine community-feeling. I love going to church and meeting with God in a totally different way. I really love the silence in church, it really helps me.
22. Meeting Maurits. He is such an amazing boy, who is going to study exactly the same and also at the same university. We could be like twins and I really miss him already…
23. Learning a few Swedish words.
24. Getting a nice tan.
25. taize-english. It’s so funny. The disciples of Jesus are called his left-overs. Another famous sentence is:” I need one more people for the dishes.” How funny.

27. Going to concerts

36. Dancing in the rain. I love being all happy and smiling when most people are looking sad because they are getting wet.
37. Smiling at random people. I love it when I smile at people (especially elderly people) and they smile back. It makes me feel that I might have changed their life. I know what difference a smile can make.
38. Wearing heels. It makes me feel very sexy.
39. Snow. I really like snow, it makes everything seem so pure and fresh. It’s like a new start every time it snows. It’s so lovely to see a big field, all covered in snow, and being the first one the walk in it. It makes me feel so great and important for some reason.
40. Strip. That’s how me and my new college friends call ourselves. We’re the craziest group of people ever:P For example, for my friend’s Birthday we stole her door and pimped it and then gave it back to her.
41. Thomas. I keep amazing myself how much alike we are. We could be the same person. We have exactly the same passions. We can talk all day about culture and go to the most random places. We both love old Dutch music and put it on really loud and sing:P
42. Rob. I don’t know what it is about us, but we have something going on. It’s great knowing that I can always ask him for a hug and he’ll always be there for me. He listens to me and cares for me and vice versa.

47. Niels. Great having a friend that I can just open up to. I really love him for the fact he forgave me for what I did to him, I wouldn’t be able to do the same I guess,
48. Skating. I’ve been doing this since I was a little child and I just love going skating and night, just going to random places and having time to think.
49. Spring. I can’t wait for spring, to hear the bees buzzing the birds singing and all that again.
50. Home. Even though it wasn’t always a nice place to grow up I really like it, because I can be myself and don’t have to pretend to be something that I am not.
51. De muffins. Even though we aren’t as close as we were a long time ago we still are good friends:)
52. A, A, B and M. I really like them, we had so much fun together and I know we still will, even though we live apart now, that doesn’t mean we can’t still be close. I really miss them now, I miss talking about boys and shopping and drinking coffee in the HEMA :P
53. Flowers. I love the way they smell, they are so colorful and just bring around joy!
