The Leya Papers #1 | strange phenomenon
starting the millennium questioning life and chances
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 the freedom to develop my writings any way I want.
The blogs will stay, but I’m getting more and more inspired by the study assignments for writing several essays about interesting topics like life, loyalties, love and happiness. Even ethics and law. I’m so happy I’ve chosen to study philosophy, because I’m learning so much about the foundations of our existence. That was what I was looking for.Â
As long as I can remember I've been questioning my life and myself in this world. Wondering why I was one of the many babies adopted to grow up in the Netherlands.
Life is such a strange phenomenon. Something that I try to comprehend every morning when I witness the sunlight in my new studio. Even though I live on a mattress between books and computer, I feel happy and free. At this moment I don’t have any reason to ask for anything more other than to show what I have to my biological family. Asking them if they are proud, if this is what they had in mind when they sent me away hoping for a better future.
Although I’m wondering if this is the better future they had in mind. Somehow I don’t think dancing around in silver wigs is what Indonesian parents wish for their child. It would be one of many fights for the freedom I wish for. Knowledge, writing and dancing are my ways to wander and conquer this world, it’s my way of surviving in a world I haven’t asked for.
So I wander, I dance and read just to strengthen myself for the unkind. Â
Love & kisses,
