Bye electricity! I am sitting here behind my little computer, writing to you from a room covered in darkness using a headlight to be able to look around at least bit. Rain has been pouring down all day. Not rain like I know from Belgium, but rain like the end of days has arrived. Rain…
Well, I don’t like to admit it, but as many among my friends predicted, I kind of took up a bit too much work. It seems that working nearly 7 days a week and planning a trip around the world aren’t the best things to combine. So yes, all of you who are thinking, ‘told…
A hospital, a place where the extremes of life come together: birth, death, untameable happiness, uncontrollable screams filled with pain, relief, fear for the future, determination, tears and hope.
