On Sometimes Love Is This:

‘Daan Borrel is on a mission: to get women familiar with their sexuality’ – DE VOLKSKRANT


Excerpt from interview in Elle:

The aim of her search was to find a new narrative, one that would enable her to make a deep connection, a connection she could not find in her relationship. Daan broke up with her lover and spent a year looking for another kind of love, for herself and for others. She also looked at the role her menstrual cycle played in all of this.

Elle: Why did you choose to have your menstruation play such a prominent part in the book?
Daan: I thought, my cycle is very important to how I feel, yet that’s something I supress. In every phase, I am another version of myself and not every version is allowed to be here. That then influences how I experience intimacy. If you think that you and your body have no right to be here, can you truly connect with another person?
