Why do I feel like a savage ?

I have neglected the art of writing for far too long and I realized how dearly I missed it just today. Especially in the times where my schedule is packed or being overloaded become a daily routine, I understand how much of a hectic life I enrolled myself in. I keep reminding myself that this...

Don’t put a period where God puts the comma- the summer in a nutshell.

I have neglected the art of writing and the power of words for the last couple of months, which was frankly said, easily noticeable here. Not that I am trying to justify myself anyhow, but especially last four months were very intense and filled with many unexpected events and situations. Some of them indeed left...

Why are happiness, connection and adventure the pillars of my life?- 2015 scribbles from my diary

(...) It stroked me recently how often I stopped enjoying things . How, instead of delighting in sunrise I was plunging myself into this self-pity mode complaining and moaning about the weather, the place I am in, the unfulfilled dreams and ambitions that I had and the people I have met, relationships that got broken...

O wolności w miłości – i o tym dlaczego rzucanie się na hamburgera szkodzi zdrowiu

Prawdopodobnie poniższy tekst będzie jednym z niewielu w języku polskim. Czasem zapytana, dlaczego piszę zazwyczaj w obcym języku, odpowiadam, że to dlatego,  że jest mi łatwiej. Częściowo jest to uwarunkowane tym, że stosunkowo długo nie napisałam niczego w języku polskim , a język angielski stał się moją główną formą ekspresji. Istnieje jednak inny powód. Pisanie...

Sunday catharsis off the beaten track

This weekend was exclusively enriching out of two reasons. First, because I finally decided to wake up out of the winter lethargy and move my butt to start discovering places and do more creative things with my life. Second, it was quite purifying emotionally.  I think we all have been in those places of our...

The truths I saw in the mirror

Have you ever wondered why the human being is construed in such a way  that we cannot perceive ourselves in full shape. We cannot see our facial mimics when we speak, cannot see our reactions when we talk to other people, we cannot see how our body is behaving from a a distant perspective. Mirrors give this opportunity, that's why they're so tempting.

Where is my ‘hug box’?

Last night was an incredibly touching time. I had the opportunity to watch a beautiful and thought-provoking movie about a phenomenal autistic professor, who started her career as a livestock consultant and became one of the first autistic spokeswoman sharing insights about her disease. In order to combat her anxiety and panic attacks Temple Grandin,...

Stepping into mid- twenties

Emotions are not always the best comforter and majority of people do know that, still however looking at myself and friends around me, our crazy 20s lifestyles revolve around emotions, passions, senses, calf crushes and infatuations. I am not sure if this is me becoming slightly more mature than I have been, but recently I...

The culture of rest

As much as I enjoy planning my journeys and arranging travels, I am hopeless when it comes to scheduling things and structuring my spare time. I am unfortunately usually late, promising myself that I will be on time next time and I am normally up for everything that pops up when looking to organize my...

Emotionless silence

There were certain moments during my lifetime where I used to face emotionless silence, usually preceded by some extended periods of emotion filled days or months. Usually, moments of silence happen when I feel so drained that the only thing that may cause relief is just feeling nothing, thinking nothing and going with the flow...
