Selectively Juggling

I do not regret allowing myself to break the mould – to step outside of my expected path. I don’t regret wanting more from life, breaking the social chains that try to firmly hold you within a social class.

I do not regret allowing myself to fall in love with a tourist. Fast forward a lifetime and we’ve got three children and full lives. He stayed in Australia, leaving The Netherlands and his parents behind. I never asked him to stay, it had to be his choice and his choice alone. Love is a risk, even more so when someone leaves their whole life behind for you. It’s something to really treasure and work hard at.

I regret not risking more, especially in a creative sense. I just need to go for it!
