This is me, unfiltered

My name is Anneke.
A lover of what's real, what's raw, what's soft.
Endlessly curious about the way people work
and how we sometimes have to break to become whole again.

I live slowly.
For the rebellious part of me,
that refuses to keep up with a world that’s always fast and loud.
For the rhythm of my body. For what’s true. For what feels right.

I’m a seeker.
Not of perfection,
but of truth,
connection,
and breathing space.

Always on a journey — within myself, through the world, across the map.
You’ll find me on a mountain, in a forest, on the road,
or in a quiet room, writing with a blanket over my feet.

I thrive on connection, freedom, adventure, and enthusiasm.
Nature is my sacred space — being outside brings me back to myself.
Belgium is my home base, but my heart also lives across the ocean,
in the wide-open landscapes of the United States.

I can feel the energy of people, places and stories from miles away.
Highly sensitive and a high sensation seeker.
Always looking for balance:
between thrill and repose,
between solitude and connection.

Software developer by weekday,
forest nymph by weekend.
Between code, miles, and trees,
I search for meaning, rest, and purpose.

My blogs are fragments of that journey.
No big theories.
Just: real.
As it is.
