Hi! I’m Femke!

Failure is not a setback but an opportunity for growth, and I have experienced my fair share of failures (and continue to do so). But it's these very challenges that make life fascinating.

Too often, I found myself trapped in the whirlwind of what some call the ‘daily grind’, where I lost my drive and my once-vibrant creativity became stifled. I soon realized I wasn't the only one. Many of us yearn for a life of substance, focusing on quality over quantity, and cherishing valuable time to navigate the weight of our responsibilities. In the midst of this chaos, we frequently forget to ask ourselves the fundamental questions: What do I genuinely desire deep within? With whom do I wish to connect? What ignites the fire within me?

While I used to freeze moments solely through the lens of a camera, I've now embarked on a creative journey of self-exploration, reevaluating my approach to life. It became clear that without a thoughtful plan for our own lives, we allow others to dictate the course we follow. As someone who used to believe in an "all or nothing" mentality, I embrace ‘slow growth’ which is about understanding that meaningful change takes time and that progress is best achieved through small, consistent steps rather than seeking instant transformations. It encourages patience, persistence, and a mindful approach to personal development, which can avoid burnout, cultivate sustainable habits, and find greater satisfaction in our progress. Consciously consuming time wisely and purposefully is a challenge we face, recognizing that less truly is (a lot) more.

Join me on my quest for living a more full life, where we will delve into the depths of self-discovery and creativity. Through thought-provoking content, shared knowledge, and inspiration, I aim to take you on an adventure that embraces imperfection and authenticity, reminding us that the true value lies not in perfection but in genuine expression. There's so much world to see, so let's go out there & explore intentionally!
