Project authenticity

This site is many things to many different people. It can be a blog about living authentically. A site about American politics. A blog about Slovak women. A blog about Slovak culture or Belgian culture or western culture. At times it's a blog about the economics of every day life. It's a site about parenting. A blog about literature. A blog about psychology. There are blogs about dating, blogs about travel, blogs about money, blogs about teaching, blogs about dating Slavic girls, blogs about Palestine. It's a site for leftists. It's a site for progressives. A site for femdom lovers. A site for vagitarians. A site for language teachers. A site for people with a huge libido and a big heart. A site for go-getters. In a way also a site for entrepreneurs. A site with erotic stories for women. Maybe it's easier to describe what the people who regularly visit have in common. The readers of this site tend to be seekers. They tend to be people who are a bit dissatisfied with life and are looking for more, not just for themselves but for humanity in general. It's a blog for people looking for peace, love, empathy, solidarity and yes, also a good dose of excitement. Whatever brought you here, know that you are welcome.

The destruction of my concentration span

Date: 17/09/2021Author: William Peynsaert 0 Comments

Maybe I like working so much because only then am I able to focus.

When am not working I take books from my shelves and I always put them back after reading less than half a page.

If I didn’t read newspaper articles with students I would never read any article from start to finish.

I have read 62 books this year, but that is counting audiobooks as well, which still seems like cheating to me.

How I have managed to read 20 ‘real’ books the old fashioned way is a bit of a mystery. Clearly some days I do concentrate on one thing for a considerable amount of time.

It’s not just my concentration span that’s been torn to shreds. It’s one of the diseases of our time.

I have young students who tell me a five minute video is a LONG video.

What do you think?

Treat us to a cup of coffee

It's a great joy and honor to be able to create content for our readers. It's nothing short of a calling and if it would not be rewarding we would of course not be doing it. That being said it's also true that it sure doesn't come easy. Thousands and thousands of hours go into providing this website for you. Countless hours of research, reading, studying, discussions, brainstorms, some heated arguments between the driving forces behind this site about the content offered. Honestly, this website costs blood, sweat and tears. Ok, maybe not blood, but plenty of sweat and tears. It’s not cheap either. It’s safe to say that this site is like a full-time job on top of our regular jobs. So what we are asking is this: If you’ve had some fun on our site, you could spread some joy of your own and support us. We are hell bent on improving the quality of this site. If you treat us to just one (hopefully more than one) cup of coffee (3€) we will feel energized to raise the bar. Every donation will strictly be used to improve this website. So no, we won’t actually buy coffee. Thank you very much! PS Yes, this is a picture of Zuzi.
