"No stop dreaming, be realistic."

That's what I always thought. And it made sense back then...

Yeah that is right I don't think like that anymore, and you know why? Because being "realistic" was so boring and it didn't make me happy. And for a long time I thought why can't I just be realistic and happy? Why do I have to be so complicated. But listening to others, and letting others make your future may look save but it is not realistic at all, and honestly? It's the stupidest thing I've ever done. 

Let me tell you a little story:

When I graduated from High School I sort of really started stressing out, it was time for the real deal. I gotta choose a course which will eventually become my future. But I had no clue what I wanted to do, so I decided to play it save and did the course "International Business Studies". And it was my worst decision. I hated it, I hated every little piece of my course. 

Looking back then I realized where I went wrong, I shouldn't have looked at courses that I would see myself find work for later because I need to work for a business. But I should have kept it way more personal and ask myself, what do I enjoy in life? What are things I actually enjoy to do and for me it was simple. I love media and communication. So I started studying it, and it was the best choice I've made. 

Do I regret the year I spend in International Business Studies? No absolutely not, I learned from it, like I learned from every mistake I made. And I am thankful for my mistakes because how else are you supposed to learn stuff?

But what I'm trying to say is:

Do what makes you happy, because that will be something you'll be good at. Because you enjoy doing it! makes sense, right? Even if people don't believe you can achieve whatever you want to achieve.

I mean the people with the biggest succes are the ones who are crazy enough to believe in their dreams. 

Just look for yourself!

I found these on Tumblr and it's so inspirational right? It's crazy how many times these people got turned down, but they kept believing that their idea would be successful. And I'm pretty sure you know what Starbucks is, and you know where and what Disney Land is, and you know who Harry Potter is. These people had some crazy success, because they believed in their own idea more then anyone else, and that's why they eventually became successful! 

So believe in yourself! And go for your dreams.

The City and its beauty.

When I don't feel okay I tend to do weird stuff, a couple weeks ago I felt sort of bad and decided to walk around in Amsterdam at 7 in the morning before school started. Why? I have absolutely no idea, did it work? yeah!

I died at this, isn't it gorgeous?

through the day it's actually hard to walk fast through these streets.

It was so quiet, and so calming. And admit it, Amsterdam looks pretty amazing when it's that empty.

I cleared my head, walking around that early, and seeing the sun come up. And this comes from someone who appreciates her sleep more then anything. So I was a bit in chock of my weird idea, but it made me realize something.

Walking around, all alone is good from time to time. Just walking around, clearing your head. And appreciate the city, or village you live in. It took me two early, quiet mornings to realize how beautiful the city is I live in.

I live in Amsterdam, but this isn't just meant for anyone that lives in Amsterdam, it doesn't matter where you live. Go walk. On your own, or with a close friend. Walk quietly or talk as much as you want. But don't take the usual way, take another one. And look around, put your phone away and really look at everything and everyone around you. You'll be surprised. At least I was! You start noticing things you would've never noticed. It's kind of a meditation.

So when I discovered all this small interesting streets and all these beautiful canals I started looking in a different way to everywhere I went even places like dam square where I walked around daily, and believe it or not, I discovered Amsterdam's beauty all over again. So I made a video to show you pretty Amsterdam, and I liked to see even more and film it so you could enjoy the view with me.

"The bad news? Everything ends. The good news? Everything ends."

This quote is straight up honest, and so freaking true. It doesn't matter how bad life gets, it doesn't stop so you could feel better again. It goes on, it always will and it always have. So when something bad is happening, I always keep in mind to that it isn't forever. And weirdly enough it helps.

But it doesn't mean you need to wait for life to get better, because every minute you didn't spend being happy is 60 seconds of lost happiness that you won't ever get back.

The thing is, life goes on. How stupid it may sound, it is true. And it took me actually a couple years to realize.

And since then I realized something else, if something bad is going on in your life, stay strong, because it isn't going to be forever. And if life looks good for you, enjoy it as much as possible and appreciate it. It won't be forever. Good and Bad things are a part of living, if there are no ups and downs you're dead (think about it).

Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow, without a little rain.
