To fuck up or not, that’s the question.

To fuck up or not, that’s the question.

I’ve made a million decisions that will never be acknowledged. I held back, slowed down, and stopped completely. Didn’t write or speak the toxic words. Didn’t openly blame, didn’t publicly judge, and shut the whole thing down. Turned the other cheek. And then another...
The word that never happened.

The word that never happened.

by Marnix Pauwels | Jul 30, 2022 | English, Insights, Personal, Purpose and Meaning, Relationships, Spirituality, Typically Me

Almost. What an incredibly versatile word. Powerful, exciting, and scary too! I almost got hit by a car. I almost drowned. I almost missed my plane. And not just that: it also captures disappointment. I almost made it to the top. I was almost asked to be the drummer...

This morning, when I was sitting in bed drinking my bulletproof coffee, I felt an unpleasant urge to move. There was an ominous pressure to start something, to work on something. To fucking DO something! As if I’m personally stopping the entire universe from...
Stupid perfection.

Stupid perfection.

by Marnix Pauwels | Jul 28, 2022 | Anxiety, Awakening, English, Insights, Love, Personal, Purpose and Meaning, Spirituality, Typically Me
