Hi! This is my about page.

I am Rob.

I am 36.

I live in the Netherlands.

I love cats.

I adore my cat Gus.

Although his actual name is "Guus".

He's orange.

So, no braincells.

Like, none at all.

But he's made only out of love. 🥹

I love him more than anything.

Be gentle with your pets.

You are their whole world.

I'm an introvert.

I'm neurodivergent.

I have lived with C-PTSD and Clinical Depression my entire life.

I would say I'm close to making a full recovery.

I love to teach!

I advocate for a better world.

I don't think anything will come from it.

But I believe setting a good example is important.

Maybe I'll change one life.

That's enough.

Maybe I'll only save my own.

That's good enough too.

I am training for a marathon.

I spend most of my time focused on developing skill.

I meditate about 30 minutes a day.

It helps a lot.

Sarah Blondin's work has changed my life.

I love therapy, but it's a pain to get the right therapist.

I have a big group of friends!

I made new friends in my mid thirties.

If you're struggling to make friends, you can do it!

Believe in yourself.

I also have two best friends.

They mean the world to me.

My family is pretty cool too.

Lots of love.

Grandparents are still alive, but I don't think they are long for this world.

I spend a lot of time on self-care every day.

I have an amazing skin care routine.

And regularly go for pedicures.

This blog is my life's work.

I hope I get to work on it for forty more years.

It makes me happy when it grows a little bit.

I'm hyper focused on creating, not consuming.

If there is anything you should learn how to do.

It's how to be compassionate towards your fellow human beings.

We need it like we need clean air to breathe.

Tell your friends you love them.

Memento mori.

You could die any day.

Let that determine what you say and do.

Choose to be kind in a cruel world.

Lots of love,

Rob.
