I'm doing this for me

Today is the start of a new chapter, a new life year -it's my birthday-, the end of an old job and the beginning of a new adventure. It took me quite some years to get to this point, but I need to do this and I need to do this for me, to be happy and because I frankly have no choice if I want to improve this part of my life. It is time to create my own world, a world where all my creativity and passions will come together. A world where I get to choose, where the stress will be mine, the failures will be mine and the victories will be mine. 

I decided to jump into the unknown and to not let fear, insecurity, other people's opinions, and negative feelings hold me back anymore. 

I noticed that all these years of working for other people left me unfulfilled and empty in a way, because I could never commit with my heart. I could not work based on my instinct and my way of seeing things. I was tired of writing in a font that other people chose for me. Working towards goals that weren't mine. Being pigeonholed where I did not necessarily feel at ease. Suffering from the social pressure of 'having a career' when I did not need a 'status' to form my identity. 

So this next step has been brewing in my head for some years and some months ago it felt like the stars were aligning - no more excuses! Jump, girl! Get your big girl panties on! 

And if I fail, I'll fail and it will be a bruise in the course of my life (like I have other ones), not a tattoo and there will be a Plan C waiting for me & if it works, I will so make it happen every single day, until another dream comes along.

 

So, today I'm very excited to share my project with you!

I'm going to open a place that I created:

The 3L Buurtkantine 

A day-canteen for coffee, co-working and healthy food!

I will share more about my journey into entrepreneurship soon!

Stay tuned!!
