The Leya Papers #11 | those who were watching me
You know I live in Utrecht, it’s where my home is. A beautiful home and I believe I will live here forever. The place is big enough for everything I need and the Lady who sublets the house will always keep an eye on it. We have contact weekly and sometimes we even go out for drinks, lunch or dinners. She’s a classy Lady and somehow she …
The Leya Papers #10 | a quiet observer
Somehow my life took a weird twist. My dancing took a turn of its own, getting in circles that were unknown to me until now. It’s up to me to decide how bad I want to be part of this. To be part of them. The power, the elite, the white collar bad guys.
The Leya Papers #9 | the question called Clinton
Now I've written a couple of articles and have no clue whether people read this stuff, I am willing to admit something. I am fascinated by the Clintons. No I am not an admirer of him, or her, but their phenomena in itself. The main reason is the modernization of their politics, but also the mystery with it. Why did everything explode be…
The Leya Papers #8 | persistent layers
At this moment I am doing my study philosophy reading. One of the things I notice is that I’m studying the works of male writers, male philosophers. No women. Not yet. Oh well, Descartes wrote with Princess Elizabeth. I am really curious about that and hoping I will read some of the writings of Princess Elizabeth as well.
The Leya Papers #7 | transform into trouble
One of the reasons I’m hesitant about relationships is they somehow influence everything you are. When I was in middle school there were a lot of classmates who were involved with someone. Being boyfriend and girlfriend somehow gave you a status at school. When I entered my fourth year, I had my first boyfriend. It wasn’t love, but we w…
The Leya Papers #6 | the possible question
Lately I’ve been questioning my choices in life more. Not that I doubt or want to quit anything, on the contrary. However, it doesn’t hurt to evaluate your way of life every once in a while. This is what a philosophy study does to your brain as is meeting other students and people in your world.
The Leya Papers #5 | into the night
Stan was afraid I got a little down and he took me to the Woo again where I met Hidde. He was there with his friends and was surprised to see me. This night I wasn’t up for show and sensation and somehow he noticed my mellow mood. Believe it or not, but we spent the whole night together in the city. While Stan hooked up with some girls,…
The Leya Papers #4 | the high of reality
According to Stan, my third blog is what he needed to make my website a sensation, but I don’t want to live to create a sensation. I live, I write and you read. That’s it. I don’t want to live for my blog, let’s make that clear. What happened at De Jaarbeurs wasn’t calculated or created, I lived in the moment and after that I decided to…
The Leya Papers #3 | a silver sensation
How can we hang on to a dream? For me a dream should feel untouchable, unattainable. That’s how it is now since I met Hidde. As I’m not in the city all the time, it’s impossible for me to see him often. I want to believe that is a good thing. When I’m back in my studio on Thursday I don’t hear from him and I don’t see him. I decide to l…
The Leya Papers #2 | wig of power
It’s funny how one day you can feel strong and powerful and the next day vulnerable and useless. The experiences couldn’t be further from each other, but each one of them are part of my reality. Strangely I can feel vulnerable on the inside and seem powerful on the outside. It seems like the wig of power remains on me through every chal…
The Leya Papers #1 | strange phenomenon
A new millennium means a new beginning. To start over with whatever you want to change in your life. As you can see I’ve changed the name of this blog into the Leya Papers. Since it’s not 1999 anymore I thought it was better to change the name and now the name is the Leya Papers. It’s a name that has so many opportunities and gives me t…
