it’s never more clear exactly how close you were to jack torranceing until you crack a window on that first fifty-degree day

Interesting 🤔

fun thing about learning a language is you learn the right way to say something and all the times you said it wrong come running into your skull at once

We've been showing the kids various early 2000s things (nu-metal, Donnie Darko, Interpol's video for "evil") and they're so annoyed with us now lollll

Truly truly need nothing else in this world besides someone to make me pancakes for dinner tonight

Finally time to use this 😌

Congratulations to Belgium for making it into the new season of White Lotus 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

carry on my awkward son

I divide the world into "big sweeties" and "blood enemies"

Someone just came into the doorway, took a picture with a disposable camera, and walked away 🥰🥰🥰

Working at Stroom today til 6pm come say halloooooo 🍻

One asked "how did you choose Belgium and what made you sure it was the right choice?" gurl??? I'm still not sure???

I've been getting a lot more messages lately from random Americans asking how they, too, can get EU citizenship and buddies I am not an example to follow

Biking to work in the morning and it's finally light out??? Wow, a renewed sense of joy, a reason to live, life is actually beautiful after all 🌅

Sometimes I'll advertise on social media and someone will comment like, "I ordered this and I'm so excited!" and they haven't? It has happened several times and it's real weird every single time :)

I saw this movie with a "boyfriend" in 9th grade and afterwards he said "actually, that was really good" and then when we "broke up" he told me he was lying and he thought it was terrible, and it always stuck with me what a stupid thing that was to lie about

Personally, I am too focused on biking to see anybody else's face, but several (several!) times people have sent me messages that they saw me and I looked mad. It's simply... my face.

I'm working part time at a school and it's really.... something... that my most valuable skills are things like, I can send an email, use excel, find the messages that people are sending us via our site's contact form, etc

My husband's therapist was talking about the evolutionary angst of winter and how humans need "enrichment time in their enclosures" to ward off depression, which of course isn't new, but the real zinger was when they said "you just have to ask yourself: what's my pumpkin full of ground beef?"

What is the etiquette for seeing someone you know while biking? Wave? Stop and chat? Send them a message later saying "hey, I saw you riding your bike today"? Ignore and go about your day?

yearning for nothing in particular

I LOVE MY COUNTRY PHILADELPHIA

anyone else have a really fuckin stupid cat? like genuinely dumb af

Jk jk, somehow it just doesn't feel... worth it to share much on social media anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

Getting my hair cut tomorrow and will promptly update every single profile photo (except LinkedIn)

Okay Flemings, my kid watched a movie at school today and can't remember the name and it's driving all of us crazy. She claims it takes place in Gent, was made last year, and has "zep" in the title. Huuuulp

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

My pharmacist suggested that I put my Vitamin D drops on my boterham and *that* is the most Flemish thing I've ever heard

the “should I apply to grad schools” ruminating is back

What if some of us are just haters? What if that's my god given skill?

Not to toot my own horn but I'm (finally) getting pretty good at pouring beer 🍻

Seven EUROS for pop tarts, absolutely not

I'm gonna be working more at Stroom so if anybody would like to witness me being very awkward while serving you beer then come by the brewery at 4pm today

Had to spend all day yesterday correcting a €14k mistake that my accountant made 🤠👍

Someone once interrupted a conversation I was having with a friend to tell me something like this and it has become a core memory for me

i’m making up some guys in my head and they’re actually pretty chill. i’m not even mad at them
