OUT n About

PAINSHIP & has played a larger part throughout my whole adult life.

It started out in my early teenage stage.
I still remember the deep intense and burdened feelings that entered my life when I became a teenager.

At the time, I was unable to express my feelings verbally and the only way I knew how to communicate with them was through my writing.

Writing has been part of my whole life, on and off, ever since.

And if and when I did not write, I photographed or painted.

I got my first camera from my Dad when I was ten years old, and photography has played a major role in my life.

Both my family & friends grew accustomed to me photographing them time & again.

Entering an art class when I got lost in the woods just enrolling my university studies did me good & soothed my sacred body, tender soul, beautiful being & doing & lastly delicate senses.

Furthermore, trying to start a family with poor results, I then decided to do a photo exhibition and invite all my friends, family members and dear colleagues from work. It turned out to be a huge success when it came to my well-bering. Surprisingly enough, this is also when I got pregnant with my daughter, turning eight years old in 2025.

I am back into writing and I love it.
It gives me peace, solace. I understand, to this day, that I have a deep need to write.

Writing is in my core & bones. But I do understand, by now, having my needs met, soothing my senses & so on is crucial a prerequisite for pulling off a mesmerising writing journey.
