About Us
Selected-Gems to promote your own journey.
Once you start pondering about life and where you're heading you might end up on my website. But who am I and why did I build this website? I am Mickey. And ever since I found out I was not capable of living an ordinary life, I started questioning my thoughts, habits and even the people surrounding me.
What was I doing and who was I doing it for? I had unconsciously turned myself into an unhappy person and it was about time for some change.
I burnt all my bridges, left every situation that was not serving me. Now, years later, I started collecting all my shower thoughts and I turned them into blog-style articles.
I Selected my Gems to share them with you in hopes of achieving happiness for like minded souls. Even though I write about spiritual themes, I try to keep it palpable for everyone to read. I’m a sober headed spiritualist and hope to reach other people who are struggling with conforming themselves to other people’s standards.
Inspiring creative work
“You know it’s hard to be yourself,
Free yourself, to see yourself.
When all around you there are lies just to get you.
Spies just to get you, to buy so they can get you.
There are cameras in the sky, lasers in our living rooms.
There are wolves watching, wearing sheep’s costumes.
It’s enough to make you go crazy.
It’s enough to make you mad.
It’s enough to make you go crazy.
And, I’m amazed I haven’t yet."
In a nutshell
After graduating from high school I followed my mother’s wishes and enrolled in university to study law. I thoroughly enjoyed the social aspect of student life but it was not taking me any further.
During my third year I decided to quit and luckily I was soon accepted to become a part of an event organizing company. I worked there for years and became the regional manager until my point of no return, my darkest hours.
No longer able to sleep or to quiet my mind, I finally caved. My whole world was turned upside down and I no longer knew who I was and what I wanted from life.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and it led me down the path of a pharmaceutical hell.
I decided then and there to make it my mission to better understand myself and reach a state of true authenticity. Now, years later my journey is still ongoing.
Approximately five years ago I quit all pharmaceutical medicine and I have been trying all sorts of alternatives for reasons further explained in my diary. Every day I am learning and I discover more about the person behind the masks. One by one I’m trying to take them all off to free you and me of these fake versions I created.
So this is me, and this is how I got here. By means of writing I try to keep my lessons alive in the active part of my mind — and hopefully inspire others along the way.
