We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

My name is Jelske, and I'm 18 years old. I live in the south of Holland, and I've lived there since I was born, but I know I won't be staying here. I'm planning on traveling around the world when I turn 22, buying a cheap motorcycle and see every place I heard stories about, taking picture of every single inch of the world, meeting new people, making new memories. I wasn't born to live at the same place for the rest of my life. Since September 2009 I started studying photography, that gives me the chance to live up my dream and do what I like the most everyday. I've always loved photography, I had my own camera when I was a little girl, spending all my money on film rolls. When I look at the pictures I made back than, I can't help but smile. I'm addicted when it comes to reading, I have that from my mom. Since a few years I started writing myself as well, getting rid of the eternal thoughts in my head. I'm someone with too much fantasy and thoughts to fit in her head, so I have a massive headache, all the time. Besides writing, reading and photography I also enjoy watching the stars, drawing, singing, hanging out with friend, watching movies and spend my weekends with my best friend. I've been a vegetarian since I was seven years old, and don't do drugs nor drink alcohol. I hate more than I love and there is no place in the world for me to call home, and doubt there ever will be. I've never been happy and I do not understand the word happiness. Although I just wrote a whole bunch of words to describe myself, I still feel indescribable.

Everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
