Calendar Notes — march

This year, I’m dedicating more time to consistency. My little desktop calendar helps me with that, while also hiding a quote for each month. I glance at March, and a strange, paradoxical feeling starts to rise inside me.

“The most difficult art is to live your life freely.”

This month, I’m noticing how much effort it takes to truly follow my own path. Everywhere I look, there are voices claiming to know the “right” way—how to work, how to live consciously, how to eat, manage time, household, or relationships better. Following them might feel intentional, but I don’t feel it’s freedom.

I also see the contradiction in my own life: being present, sharing, creating—while at the same time being influenced by the very same space. “I am here to help,” they say. And I believe them. But what this often creates is the opposite: self-doubt, loss of confidence, a constant sense that I’m somehow not enough. There are endless brands doing something better than me. Countless coaches pointing out at least one thing I could improve. Millions of opinions—one person swears by something, another calls it nonsense.

And in all of this, the question becomes unavoidable: do I want to become another voice shaping how others should see, choose, or create?

I don’t want to decide for anyone what is beautiful, or what the “right way” is. What I do with flowers is simply respond in my own way. Even that is constantly changing. There is no single right approach to design or to live. We are drawn to different parts of it, enjoy different processes, and that naturally shapes our routines. It’s easy to slip into thinking that my way is the right way—while knowing that even “my way” is just one of countless possibilities.

What I show here, and on my socials, is my approach. Take what resonates, and freely leave the rest.
