Gretel Door

Hi, my name is Gretel, and I am a writer and an explorer in the realms of emotions, thought patterns, philosophy, and personal growth. I want to share my experience and research with you. I am sincere and sometimes quirky, and I appreciate the weird little twists we all have.

Gretel is not my everyday name. It is a name I have chosen to be able to express myself freely while protecting my anonymity. In my other life I have had a career, but also jobs that just kept me in toilet paper. I have produced videos for bands and developed screenplays. I have degrees and post graduate qualifications. This enables me to noodle with information, but my writing is anything but academic.

As Gretel, I want to speak directly from my mind to yours, and hopefully this will become a two-way conversation. I aim to gently pull back the skin of conformity and nestle the fragile beating heart within. As myself, I meditate daily, but I also watch art house movies and read edgy books and online content. I will be blogging about feelings and ‘thinkings’ – what I surmise about them, what experts say, and what the online community reports.
