In the last days I had to slow down and rest my right wrist, because of a tendon issue. Nothing serious but of course quite irritating because I am a right-handed person. Today I could draw again and I thought this baby face could express my irritation...😁 In these moments you realize how many times you use your hand, and so it happened with little parts of the body, like the little toe: when once I bumped into it, it immediately became the most remarkable part of the body. I wonder why I need a tendinitis to remember how lucky I am to have a right arm, equipped with a great wrist!🤣-

“Your dream is the mole
behind your ear,
that chip in your
front tooth,
your freckles."

As every teenager I was obsessed with body perfection in my youth. I could find so many defects in myself and all the things I would have loved to change! Being taller, being skinny, having a different colour of eyes or hair... I bought the fashion magazines and looked at pictures of models with so many sighs!
And then you grow and you look at the big nose of your best friend, and you could not imagine him/her without it. Some people's faces stay in your memory because they are so special and unique, even though they are far from the allure of 'perfection'... So I saw a picture of beautiful @nikolaselezinko by @agataserge and thought to draw her because what really makes her wonderful is her freckles in my opinion. I wonder if she would have hated them as a teenager.
Hope we can all love our uniqueness, because that's what people who love us mostly remember when they think of us. -

Our heart is vulnerable, we can perceive love and joy but we can be hurt as well. And if we get hurt enough, we can put on a wall, hoping this will protect ourselves and let only the good reach us. Sometimes we put a wall to see who cares enough to break it down for us. However a wall is always a wall, we get protection at a very high cost: it's a cage, and the the most difficult one to open because it's our own "construction" based on fears and hard believes.

In 2012 I moved to Thailand with my husband. For 2 years I have been living in Bangkok and I have been teaching English in a school, before coming back to the Netherlands. Some classes had almost 50 students and I had my personal struggle in memorizing everybody's names, combining them with a face. She was always sitting in the first raw of the classroom, always smiling, always happy. She is @orrawan_meaya but for me, she is just May.
It's so nice to see how that curious, beautiful and intelligent girl is now a wonderful young woman and is finding her way to the world. I will never forget your beautiful smile May, enjoy the world! -

This drawing of a beautiful woman is inspired by an amazing photo by @seli_b. I love her intense look!
It happened yesterday, I felt somebody was looking at me, and when I turned my head back I saw there was actually a woman observing me. Does it happen to you as well?
It seems, there is a scientific reason, related to the ability of our brain to perceive what is outside our field of view. But I think we have our inner sensitivity that make us feel the presence of somebody in the dark or think about a friend and receive his/her unexpected call right after. We don't see only with eyes, we use all senses to feel and 'see' the world, through the invisible net that connects all of us, and make us feel each other at a deeper level. -
