My years have arrived, that’s how I see it. Someone told me about the internet and I am trying now. My own website. I am not sure if I will be able to write all the time as I am a busy girl juggling between studying Philosophy and my job as a gogo dancer. A boy named Stan built this page for me and taught me how to post my own articles and pictures. It’s like my own newspaper, only on the world wide web. I am not sure what to think about it, but according to Stan it’s the future. 

So my name is Leya. I am 19 years old and I'm a second year Philosophy student in the Dutch city Utrecht. I’ve decided to write this website in English, for my own practice and to build a larger audience in the world. According to Stan I am living a life that’s worth writing about. I believe he’s insane, but as always, I am keen to try the newest trends on the planet. Which now is the internet.
