[2024and40]

I took a screenshot of this quote and have had it on my photoroll since I’ve read @alittlelifebook. I was able to meet a lot of friends I have not seen in a long while over the holidays and recently and doing reflections for this #turning40project, I consider myself lucky to still have them in my life.

I’m not an extrovert which makes it a little difficult to make friends because I am not exactly proactive in social situations. I do not go out of my way to seek interactions. I do not initiate conversations unless I am left without choice. So to know them and to have built connections that have weathered time, distance, and all the inevitable changes in life, I’d say, has been a gift.

Also, if there’s anything they all share in common, it would be that, as far as I’m concerned, they are all good hearted people. And that’s always gonna be something because this world is filled with manipulative, self-centered, jealous, and toxic people. Others might enjoy that sort of mess but it’s not the energy I want in my life. My friends are not perfect but they are not the type who would actively plan or do something that would hurt others whether for personal gain or just for the heck of it. And to me, that’s important because essentially you become the company you keep.

So yes, I hold this text in my heart cos it’s true for me. At the end of the day you don’t need people who are super cool or rich or smart but count yourself lucky if you find people who are kind and generous and forgiving and who show up for you, who teach you things, and who are able to speak openly and truthfully to you when it’s difficult, but also listen without judgment and instead offer support and compassion when you most need it. ❤️ Of course, it won’t hurt too if they are funny and interesting and as pretty as you lol. 🤷🏻‍♀️

PS If any of you ever read this, love you, friends! 🥰😘

I did it. It took me two months and a lot of stamina. And I'm not sure the pain was worth it. Cause it hurt a lot. 📚 #alittlelife #alittlelifebook #hanyayanagihara #bibliophile #bookstagram #instabooks #bookstagramfeature #bookswormfeature #bookishtag #bookish #bookaddict #bookporn #booklove #coverlove #coverporn #bookworm #bookdragon #igreads #bücherwurm #büchereule #buchstagram #instabuch #buchblogger #buchliebe #büchersucht #bookblogger #bookmad #booknerd

Some of you may know that a few years ago, the visionary #IvovanHove directed a stage version of @alittlelifebook with his company, @itaensemble, in Amsterdam (the adaptation was written by Koen Tachelet). I have only seen this production once, and it was completely stressful: It was opening night, and all the Dutch and Belgian theater critics were sitting in the row in front of me, and kept looking back at me to see how I was reacting at certain moments. But/and I have thought about it countless times since, and how Ivo was able to bring different sensory dimensions to the theatrical experience (smell, for example). Everyone in it is wonderful, but @ramseynasr, as Jude; @hans_kesting, as Brother Luke/Caleb/Dr. Traylor; and @MariekeHeebink, as Ana, are downright astonishing. (Ramsey's is the most physically demanding performance I think I've ever seen an actor give onstage: the play is four hours, and he's on for almost all of it.) I'm happy to say that the play will be livestreamed on October 1 in certain markets (though not any English-language ones) as part of the theater's ITALive series, with subtitles in French or English. Go to ita.nl for more information and to sign up, and thank you to the cast, crew, and everyone at #InternationaalTheaterAmsterdam. Photos by Jan Versweyveld.
