About me - and Mochi-

Apparently it wasn’t until the tender age of 37 where I really tried to accept myself for how I am. To an extend where I had many one-on-one therapy sessions with myself to explore the why and how. This resulted in a lot of interesting internal and external adventures that I’ve tried to write down, as light and funny as I could, in these blogs.

 

I’ve felt weird all my life for as early as I can remember. I got bullied at school and cast out in the workspaces, for asking the ‘wrong questions’ and for being too hands-on which made my co-workers look bad. I had no idea, I was just being me, until all these situations occurred and I wondered what I did wrong. But if being social meant I had to be like them, fuck it! No thank you..

 

This was one of the reasons why I wanted to start my own business and in 2018 I opened my own tattoo studio. Most important reasons were so I could welcome people in my vibe and hire people that I liked. ..And never having to get out of bed before 8AM..

I don’t need 20 friends anyway. It’s too much work and too social. A couple of friends, a couple of colleagues and a dog is all I need. Because I’m way too busy spending my time on my life and trying to be as successful as I can as this human. 

Mochi is my first dog, I was a bunny person, but being a traveler; a bunny isn’t the most ideal pet. Their lifespan is short and they don’t travel well. After my last bunny I decided to get a dog. A small one, an introverted one who doesn’t like dogs that much. She takes me places I wouldn’t go on my own and because of her I have a lot more adventures. I dare to explore more because it feels less silly to me to walk around with a dog than to wander on your own.  

 

I’m very confided in my tattooing skills, I’ve done it for over 10 years and absorbed info and learned along the way. And although I’ve traveled for over 10 years too, I’ve never had a steady confidence in how I handled myself and my adventures. But why does this curiosity stay? Why can’t I just accept how I am and that I get overwhelmed and just stick to a daily routine without stressful situations? This question led me to my quest to learn along the way of my travels with awareness. There is no end, because we’re ever evolving and changing, but I’m very content with what I could write down for you after 20 years of traveling of which 5 with a conscious hsp mind.
