12 Books, 12 Months – Part 4

Kai — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 09:11:00 +0000

12 books, book 10 to 12 The end is here! Well, I have to admit I read all these books quite a while ago and didn’t have time to write the post about it all this time. Luckily, I wrote notes occasionally while I was reading. I tend to write snippets and notes on anything from scraps of paper, notebooks …

Creativity and Pain

Kai — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 09:37:16 +0000

How some artists are able to sink deep into depression and be more creative than ever before I will never be able to understand. I am the absolute opposite. If I am sad, depressed or struggling I feel completely disconnected from all sense of creativity and I am barely able to produce the bare minimum of content. I am basically …

12 Books, 12 Months – Part 3

Kai — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 08:15:26 +0000

Almost at the end now. I have to say, I didn’t think this would really make a big difference after the first couple of books, but now I am starting to feel like maybe it might. It’s snowballing. It’s like the more I actively think about what can make me a better person, the more I also try to do …

Stages Of Grief

Kai — Sun, 01 Oct 2023 08:10:00 +0000

It’s funny, but I never considered myself someone who would be very much affected by grief. I always felt, because I have been through so much trauma and because I have faced death before, I was the kind of person who could handle losing people – I would be strong enough to deal with the process of grief. I would …

12 Books, 12 Months – A Better Me

Kai — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 08:39:22 +0000

I’ve been living a life very different from the life I always wanted and I have not been happy. It’s hardly surprising that I’ve struggled with stress and frustrations every single day. I miss writing and need to write to work through my thoughts and emotions and have, during these last years, felt increasingly lost. I knew I needed to …

Writing – A Lifelong Journey

Kai — Sun, 08 Jan 2023 08:23:55 +0000

I’ve been a storyteller, albeit not by that name, since I was about 6 years old. I had started school and hated it, so making me walk the long deserted road to the bus stop was probably quite a challenge for my mother. We lived close to the sea on a wonderful, small island, in a small house surrounded by …

Forging a New Path

Kai — Fri, 14 May 2021 12:39:00 +0000

Life is a journey, they say. I understand why people say it, but it doesn’t make me any less irritated by those words. What makes it even worse is that I myself say it occasionally. These days I feel completely lost. I don’t have any real skills, I haven’t accomplished anything of importance (or even accomplished something of no importance …
