Sweet dreams

 Some are forever optimists and they get hurt countless of times; their tears burn their cheeks, the fall hurts like hell every time, but, almost intantly, they somehow manage to get back on their feet and do everything all over again, as if the fall simply took their memories away and they can't remember how badly they were hurt. In a way, they remind me of me when I was a child: I was so clumsy that I managed to fall every other 5 minutes. It was really bad, I would irremediably damage at least one pair of pants every day. I was, as some would say, the girl with two left feet. ( or, in my case, the girl with two right feet - since I am a leftie.)   Some are pessimists and see the worst in every situation. They always expect for shit to happen, but make no mistake: this characteristic wasn't born out of too many disappointments, it is rather an inborn feature of these individuals, a protective attribute with which some were born. As odd as this might seem, pessimists are the

  I totally love, adore and worship Sundays. [ And now it's the moment when people who know me well are convinced I was being sarcastic and they refuse to believe me, no matter how much I try to persuade them. Has it ever happen to you too? I say one cute small phrase filled with joy and happiness and  my beloved ones simply refuse to believe that I can do "happiness", should I be worried that they don't believe I can be a regular girl who's in love with Teddy Bears and the color "pink"?]    But I do love Sundays, I feel this is one of life's pleasure: to be able to take things slow for a day, read a good book near the window, while the shy spring sun warms my hair. So - since I am a "list" girl, I will make a short list of reasons why I am irremediably in love with Sundays.   1. Don't have to be anywhere.   Except for when it happens to work, I usually don't have to leave the house. I can spend all day long in my cozy pajamas

   I was reading  this article , when this particular phrase hit me: You have to respect who you are, what you're capable of, and what you're not.   Not necessary the whole sentence, but rather the last part: You have to respect what you're not. To be honest, I never thought of it that way, though it makes perfect sense, in terms of having to accept yourself just the way you are and embrace the idea that real lifetime changes can be made only at a very slow, but steady pace, but then again, am I not the girl who wasn't familiar with moderation until recently?   It so happened that, exactly while I was reading this article, one sweaty, exhausted boyfriend texted me from the gym, telling me he feels tired. Brief history? Boyfriend and I used to have kind of really unhealthy eating pattern in general, but also some short periods when we would be extremely interested in fitness. This vicious circle of fluctuations  ended in September, when I started to actually study Nut

  Have you ever had one of those days when enough is no longer enough and you simply cannot find within yourself the patience to take another step?   People say life is all about strength - that only the strongest manage to succeed; I say that, at the end of the day, it all counts down to whether you were patient enough to go through all the routine or you got lost in it. Have you ever had one of those days when you dislike yourself beyond belief? Have you ever had one of those days when you hate everything about you: your damaged hair, your weight, the shitty way you speak English, your shiness, your stubborn  introversion, the stupid social anxiety, the incapability to finish things, your writing? Have you ever had one of those days when you just wish you were normal and you start speaking, like normal people do, instead of hiding behind the cold keyboard?   Have you ever had one of those days when someone will tell you there is nothing wrong with your way of being?

1. Each driver thinks they are the One and Only; best driver on Earth, a character from NFS and Vin Diesel altogether. 2. They will honk at you either for being a woman, a pedestrian or for daring to apply the correct rules while in roundabouts, on the very principle: "if you don't have balls, you simply shouldn't be allowed to drive and roundabouts have no rules other than only the strongest survive." 3. There are 15 degrees at the beginning of March. 4. You pay 25 euros for a 2 courses meal for 2 people and you think it's expensive. Because you know that if you had lived here, that 25 euros would have meant more than one tenth of your salary. 5. The simple state of being a pedestrian implies serious risks at every step you take. Every time you are planning to cross the street, you need to make sure your will is up to date, you have confessed to a priest recently, you don't hold any grudges against anyone and you have eaten a consistent portion of your fa
