Three months, and I'm still sober.

"And I don't know, I could crash and burn but maybe.. At the end of this road, I might catch a glimpse of me. So I won't worry about my timing, I want to get it right. No comparing, second guessing. No, not this time. Three months and I'm still breathing. Been a long road since those hands, I left my tears in, but I know it's never really over. Three months, and I'm still sober. Picked all my weeds, but kept the flowers."

I love songs that can describe exactly how you feel, or describe what's going on in your life. That's what I think music is all about. When a song has lyrics that can touch you through the pit of your soul, that's when I think music is 'real'. To me, music has some kind of way to speak for me when I can't find the words. It makes me see things differently. It leads me on and allows me to escape from reality when I feel like it.

I can so relate to this song. This song fits my life right now so well. Line by line. The lyrics are amazing. Touching. Beautiful, with a sharp, painful edge carved around it. I can't help but love this amazing Kelly Clarkson song (:


With love,

The first step is always the hardest.

Hey there!

Let's begin with introducing myself. Yes, I know it's a lot of boring stuff but hey, don't you wanna know who's behind this blog? 

Anyways, my name's Claudia, I'm 17 years old &I live in the Netherlands. (For those of you who don't know; It's a small, cold, rainy country in Europe.)

I'm a laid back girl that doesn't mind being alone sometimes. I'm just the kind of girl that sometimes needs some alone-time to get her mind straight, to think things through or to just.. you know, power up. I always try to see the best in people, and I accept and respect everyone for who they are. I hate being judged for something that I'm not, and I hate prejudices. I'm not really outspoken, but I'll stand up for myself when needed. I'm a good listener, and as my friends tell me, a good advisor. I have a realistic point of view, and I'm determined. I know what I want, and I'll do whatever it takes to get it. I know who I am, and where I stand and I've learned to accept myself for the person that I am. Which means, I accepted the fact that I'm imperfect, and I like being imperfect.

My passions are writing, music, fashion and mediadesign.
I am now doing an education Mediadesign, so that hopefully I can become either a layout designer or film maker in the future. I love making videos or graphic stuff, so why not try to make my job out of it?
I love music and everything about it. My fave bands are The Pretty Reckless and Hey Monday, and my fave solo artists are Ashley Tisdale, Jesse McCartney, LIGHTS and Lesley Roy. My favourite composers are Isaac Shepard and Philip Wesley. Their music is seriously amazing! <3 I play the piano/keyboard a bit, and I love to sing. I joined this popchoir about a year ago, and I try to perform as much as possible, which is really fun to do (: Apart from singing, I do ballroom dancing, which I fell in love with the moment I had my first lesson.
I also love writing. It's my way to express myself and release my thoughts and feelings. When I feel bad or anything, the first thing I do is grab for my pen and paper and write it off. It just makes me see things from a different point of view and I love how I can put my feelings out of my head, down to the paper.

The main reason why I started this blog is because I'd like to combine my writing skills with mediadesign, by starting something that I hope I can be active with. On this blog I will post stuff that I wrote, updates on my life, some fashion, some music.. Just things that interest me, and things I want to share with others.

Alright, I think that's enough for now.
If there's anything else you want to know, then please leave a comment :)

I hope you'll enjoy my blog, and don't forget to follow! ;)


With love,
            Claudia.
