13 Balloons

                        13 balloons  I had a bouquet made of 13 balloons. I got them because I wanted to make you feel how you made me feel when we shared our first honeymoon. I tried to hold onto them, like how you held onto me when I needed someone to be there. When I went out to fill them with air, I kept thinking about how I had found the spark that we would come to share. When I am with you, I feel like I have no care.  I could reach for the sky, and you would still hold onto a part of me. I believed that our love had to come from mastery. How else could your eyes keep me in captivity without undressing me? Your mind sparked a fire within my soul that I could not douse. In front of you, I felt as shy as a mouse. In my mind, I’d build an imaginary house.  As my thoughts carried me away, I’d dream of a future that maybe wouldn’t last. They say that when ...

 Midnight Creeps: Haunted Plantation

"Illustration of Surinamese slaves working on a sugar plantation"



Hello friends, how have you been? We're already in October! Gasp, time does go by fast.😏 It's the month of Halloween and I've finally got to posting this episode of Midnight Creeps on my blog. As you know we're counting down Halloween with a creepy story each Friday night at Midnight! Welcome to episode 5 called " Haunted Plantation". This Story Time episode is inspired by my visit to plantation Frederiksdorp in Commewijne. On this plantation, many cruel things happened, and the history tour I took only inspired my creativity. I already launched episode 6 of Midnight Creeps, but unfortunately, my audio didn't come out correctly during that livestream. I'll have to redo that one, and it's a real pity because that one was the best so far. It takes us on an adventure to the realm of the King of Halloween Town. But at least you guys get to enjoy episode 5 of Midnight Creeps. If you are new to my Story Time blog, make sure to subscribe or follow my blog! That way you'll be the first to receive my exclusive content in your inbox. Today is Marroon Day in Suriname. On this day we celebrate our Marroon brothers and sisters. Eons ago they fled the plantations to look for freedom deep in the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest. They didn't have an easy life and had to hide from the Redi Musu's and other armies sent to hunt them down. It was a risk that they were willing to take to be free from the reign of their cruel plantation masters. In the eyes of the rich plantation owners, they were nothing but stock. Now their descendants are still living in Suriname thanks to the bravery of their ancestors. I wish all Surinamese people a happy Marroon day! May you guys experience happienis and abundance in building up your community.

This illustration was inspired by my time spent in the Marroon Villages of Suriname. I got to learn their culture, traditions and their lifestyle. The best thing about being in Suriname is that each time I travel to another part of the country it's like visiting a whole new world. Different people, cultures and traditions sharing love under one vlag. But that might be for another Story Time episode!
👽👾🛸 Have fun watching my video and see you at next week's episode of Midnight Creeps. I'll be waiting for you with more stories from right here in tropical Suriname.💓
