Thoughts, feelings and sometimes more – original writings by Merel
Who am I
Welcome to My Rambling Shelves – a blog filled with thougths and feelings all wrapped in short stories or free-form poems. Because I mostly write from emotions and through emotions you can expect to find both light and hard-hitting stories on here.
Most of the stories I write are based on true events or experiences I’ve had. To branch out and try to push my writing into the next gear I’ve challenged myself to post either a non-fiction or fiction story every single day in September. You can now read them all below!
This is me
Hi there, I’m Merel and this is my safe place where I write out my feelings and thoughts, and sometimes more. I turn them into short stories or free-form poems. Come take a look around! You never know what you might find.
