  • Unveiling the illusion of eternal love with the goddess of love herself

    I recently spent a week on Europe’s sunniest island, Cyprus. There are a lot of interesting places to visit there, delicious food to try and local customs to explore, but all I wanted was to visit Aphrodite. To meet her, to sense that undescribable feeling I usually get on mythological places. Aphrodite’s rock, the place… Continue reading

  • To move on you need to move inwards

    Is there a worse thing when you are going through a heartbreak than people telling you ‘you need to move on’? It all feels pointless and personally I got really annoyed with hearing this. When you feel like your whole world came crushing down, the last thing you want to hear is that you have… Continue reading

  • Life’s too long

    I used to believe in the common ”life is too short” narrative until I actually sat and thought about it one day. What does that mean? Life is too short. Too short for what? Life is too short to stay in a bad relationship. Or at the bad job. Or to do things that don’t… Continue reading

  • Paris of the East

    Warsaw has a lot to offer; unique buildings, interesting museums, delicious food and exciting nightlife. Probably the most famous place in the city is the Wilanow Palace also known as the Versailles of Poland. The Old Town being the UNESCO World Heritage site has many beautiful buildings. Taking a walk there was a delight. Most… Continue reading

  • Nobody is coming to save me

    My whole life I thought I need someone to make me happy. To make me complete. And that clearly showed in all of my relationships. I just didn’t see it then. I was clinging so hard in every relationship I had that with time people started to feel suffocated. I became a burden that was… Continue reading

  • I believed you

    I believed you. I believed when you said I was beautiful. I believed when you said I am interesting. And I believed when you said you wanted to give it a shot. I believed everything – the I love you, the I want you, the I’ll never leave you. I believed your ‘I am ready… Continue reading

  • Sintra showed me I should let go of you

    When I entered the complex of The Pena Park and Palace, I started wandering around the gardens. There were fountains, ponds, beautiful water lilies, chalets…it was magical and romantic. The whole place is full of exoticism. Almost as the romantic easthetic is expressed in the untamed wildness of nature. There are tree species from every… Continue reading

  • Can we just rewrite the stars?

    We both knew we can’t make it last. We both knew it from the start, yet it didn’t stop us from jumping right into it, head first. I genuinly loved you, but it seems that you just can’t beat fate. We were never meant to be. The harder I tried to hold on, the more… Continue reading

  • When you just aren’t enough

    There are people you will never be enough for. They will never say it though and you will just keep giving more and more. More love, more attention, more affection, more everything. The more you give, the more they want.The more they want, the more you give.More time. More energy. More effort. The more you… Continue reading

  • The sound of music

    I hopped on a train to Salzburg with no real plans what to do once I get there. I booked my accommodation on my way there without even checking the reviews and it turned out great. The view from a rainy window at the Hohensalzburg Fortress and Salzach river was enough to make my trip… Continue reading
