Hi, I’m Pieter Gelderman.

Normally, I’d keep it simple, just my name and a handshake. But today, I’d like to share a bit more about who I am, what drives me, and why I’m here.

My Passion for Writing

For years, I worked as a graphic designer, crafting visuals to bring ideas to life. Over time, though, I discovered that my true passion lies in writing. I may not be a web development whiz, but I’ve always had a knack for generating ideas and presenting them in ways that connect with people. Nowadays, I pour that creativity into writing, exploring thoughts, sharing stories, and building bridges with words.

A Journey of Self-Discovery

My path hasn’t been a straight line. I’ve explored various educational pursuits, faced personal challenges, and embarked on a healing journey, especially regarding my experiences with psychotic sensitivity. While I didn’t complete the training I originally set out to do, those detours taught me profound lessons about resilience, growth, and the strength it takes to rise after a fall.

Why This Blog Matters

This blog is my way of sharing those insights, not as a roadmap, but as a companion for your own journey. It’s a space for reflection, growth, and connection. Whether you’re grappling with mental health struggles, searching for inspiration, or just curious, I hope my story offers a sense of solidarity and hope.

Let’s walk this road together.

It's important to approach recovery with an open mind and be willing to grow and learn new things. It's a personal journey, and each individual's experience and understanding of recovery will be different.
