"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" ![]() Talk Tuesday! Do you have a catchphrase? Something you find yourself saying often, or are known for saying? How did it come to be? I find myself using the verb ‘need to, must, ought to’ very often in phrases. In Dutch, there is one verb to describe this and it sounds a bit harsh in everyday speech. As if something is obliged to. In my speech, I can sound a bit strict, but that’s not the intention. So I have to be aware to use another word. I think I caught it from the use of words my father and mother used to use. Especially my father was very strict and I think I copied this from him. Not good at all. ![]() I saw myself ![]() I am not a parent, but I worked a lot with troubled kids in the youth sector. It is very difficult to raise kids and to earn their trust. Although I always knew they had a lot of secrets they were hiding from the adults. My parents only saw what they wanted to see, I never could be myself around them. In my youth, there was little trust between us. That changed fortunately over the years. ![]() ![]() |
