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...

The truths I saw in the mirror

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.

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...

A Christmas wish

Cloudy November’s life lessons

There has been few months since I published my last post from Norway. Since that time, my life turned completely upside down in all senses. There were few important lessons that I have learnt and which probably will affect my path in the long-term. Lesson 1 Sometimes it's more difficult to be kind than to...
