This is my mom, Caroline.
This year, she’s twice my age — and somehow, that fact has stirred something deep inside me.

Our relationship has been complicated for many years. But over the past few months, through a lot of reflection, I came to one clear realization:
it’s time to be free with her — to let her truly see who I am, deep in my mind and in my soul.

She’s been there for me countless times, always trying to help. But I was never completely honest. You know how it is — with your mom, you hold back. You don’t want to hurt her, you don’t want to make her sad. So you hide parts of yourself, pretend everything’s fine.

But when you do that, you also block yourself from being fully you.

After 37 years, I finally found the courage to have a real, open, and honest conversation with her — about everything: sadness, anxiety, happiness, all of it.
We cried.
But we also felt free. And more connected than ever.

I don’t want to live with regrets when it comes to my parents. They simply didn’t have the tools to deal with emotions the way we do today — and that’s okay.
What matters is that now, I’ve made it a priority.
Because it’s never too late to begin something real.
Love u Mom

Today is a special day.
Two years ago, on June 25th, I admitted—to myself, my parents, and my friends—that I was a drug addict.

That word can sound harsh, but it was real. Addiction doesn’t always look like the stereotype.
From my first joint at 12 to pills and cocaine later on, drugs were always around. I wasn’t always buying, but I constantly put myself in situations where they were easy to find.

I was the “funny guy,” always down to take something, always going too far. Maybe it was self-destruction, or just me trying to feel like I belonged.

The kitchen industry didn’t help—it normalizes drug use. Getting clean meant leaving that world behind, which was tough. It always starts with, “just this once.” But once becomes always.

I’ve lied about my use, trying to make life feel “fun.” At one point, drugs ran my life. I was working high, partying all weekend, totally lost.

But today marks two years of therapy.
Two years of facing myself. Being alone. Sitting in discomfort.
And slowly finding the version of me I truly love—not the one others expected.

I speak up now because we need to talk about “friendly” drug use.
The moment you say “I’ve got it under control”—you’ve already lost control.

That craving never fully leaves. I remember how it felt.
But I also remember what it cost.

To my family, my friends, and my therapist—thank you.
Today, I’m out. And I’m finally, fully happy.

A happy kidult, living life with love—family, friends, work, and myself.
Peace.

The marathon blocks are done ! Coming back from two broken legs this past year.
Started to coach some runners @crossfit1815 ! Making everyday running more than just a hobby but sharing the joys of it with others.

Thought running was a solitary sport. Through this prep with all my friends at the Tsp and with the @momoteamcsf was something.

I’ll try to respect them all in Eindhoven and the Belgian championship !!!! See you in Berlin in 2027 with a qualification A LA RÉGULIÈRE !!! by @chef.3000

This is how we treat our planet !

Just going for one day at the Belgian coast, in the poshest neighbourhood you can find and the place is full of trash.
You walk on mini sidewalk only invades by cars. Where you can’t even walk properly cause people have no respect. Everyone is parking theirs bikes like they own the place.

So many trash on the floor and on the coast.
I took this pictures in the dune on 5sqm I found 17 cigarettes, candies, bottles top and candies. Didn’t had to dig or anything. Everything was there.

They say it’s from the people that are coming from the capital & co. Unfortunately it’s mostly wealthy people that left those trash there and keep doing exactly the same so ! It’s unfair to point on one category of the population when all of them don’t really care of keeping it clean.

By the way we found before 4 beer bottles and a bottle of Aperol !

Almost 10 years now that my life is mixed with running.
I wanted to transform into something that I’ll be able to share with people and not alone. So I decided to take this course few months ago. There it is now I’m officially a running coach. This is quite a achievement cause I never thought of doing this but I kind thinks that I’ll have a lot of fun of doing it !!

Of course it’s still fresh and need to be structured but I’ll be happy to give constructive training schedule to anyone who’s interested !

Otherwise see you on the track, in the forest, on the road or on he next race !!!!
