How nice of you to visit my site!
My name is Evelyn Bongers. Just someone who lives her life and is looking for the meaning of it. And like so many people, I experience things. Some are nice, others less fun, we don’t normally talk about that. ‘Don’t whine!’ was always my motto. I find language fascinating. How words can be helpful or hurtful, supportive, enlightening or restrictive. I haven’t studied any language, but I’m always busy with language. I’ve been working in IT all my life. I feel there also language is important. You need to make things clear, translate thoughts and ideas and strive to understand each other.
In 2022, one of my dogs, Diego, passed away. Just two years old. Man, I was so sad about that. I think the sadness that was released there was the sadness of many years. Of all things lost. Of all kinds of things that didn’t work out. Oh, and a lot of stuff did work out of course. But everyone already knew about that. A job, a house, another house. What goes well is easy to share.
Two months after Diego died, I had to stay at home from work for a month. My head didn’t work anymore. What about that. I needed a break. And during that break, I looked at my poems, which I already had. And I started writing new poems. And then the plan arose to want to see them printed. And from the contact with a publisher the idea to send in the “manuscript”. And now my book is here!
