Escapes

I'm a person who likes escaping. Escaping problems, fear, negative thoughts. Running away from them into myself and hiding in my shell. Are escapes always just a sign of weakness or they can helps us take a step towards our future?

Chapter number 12

I'm lying with my notebook in my IKEA apartment, alternately, I glide through the photo board and the wiping map of the world hanging next to the wall. Christmas is coming in few days and I still can't believe that 2018 is over.

East, West Home Is Best (Or not?)

Some people enjoy staying at the same place their whole life. They have their little cozy house in a little town or village, they go to work five days a week and in their free time, they spend time with their family, they care about the garden or go for walk.

I've never enjoyed this type of life.

I can't stay at one place for one time, I enjoy traveling from one place to another much more and I don't plan to settle in nearest future.

The Paper World (Pre-graduation Moment of Philosophy)

Tomorrow I'll have my last week at high school. My last high school exam is in one month and instead of studying all the time, I'm sitting here, staring at the wall and the voice in my head keep asking:

"Is it worth it?"

How To Awaken Your Creativity

I'm super anti-talented at art. I can't play any musical instrument well. I used to play the reccorder as a kid, I can play the basic kid songs on the piano and play few guitar chords. I can't draw. I'd love to learn that but I have no idea how. I'll probably never learn to draw portraits or nature oil paintings. In terms of dance .. my moves are often pretty tragic. If I don't know the exact steps, I can't follow the rhytm most of the time ... However I love all of those activites so much.

I could tell myself "Give up. You're not good enough. Stop that." ... But I don't do that. I create. I draw, pain, do music, dance, sing and write. I do it my way. I create my own techniques. I don't need anyone to rate me, I don't need to compare my work with anyone else ... At that moment, it's just me and my little art.

What's next?

I'm alive. Living more in the real life than the virtual one for past couple of weeks.

New Year - New Me

I tried to enjoy Christmas in a bit different way this year. I was drawing and writing a lot. I read a lot of books. I spent a lot of time watching Christmas movies on TV with the lightened tree in the background. I was just trying to spend more time in the real world, than in the virtual one ...

And so that's why I'm coming to this blog just now - the last day of this year and I'm coming to talk to you a little bit about New Year's resolutions, goals and about the reasons why we often don't follow them at all.

2017 Year Overview

This year is coming to its end nad it's time to make a little recap of the past few months again. When you feel like your life is completely messed up and you experience only negative things all the time ... It's great to find some old photos and realize that there were so many amazing times as well. At the end of the year, I always realize that no matter how hard times I experiences, I got also many beautiful memories, that I will never forgive.

Fairytale Wisdom

I've always loved fairytales - when I was a kid and even now when I'm literally an "adult". Fairytales hide so much wisdom, we need in our life. Sometimes we actually understand their real hidden ideas when we grow older. So now, make a cup of tea or coffee and give yourself a little moment to think about all the beautiful thoughts, hidden between the lines of my favourite fairytales.

Journaling therapy

I've loved writing since I was a kid. I used to buy ne journals and notebooks all the time, I used to write and draw into them, I was adding photos, pictures from magazines ... I was writting about my memroeis, my feelings, fears and goals, I was making thousands of different lists and I was making up crazy scenarios about my future.

Journaling is a well know therapy method, that can help you to organize your thoughts and get rid of feelings which you don't want to talk about aloud. That's why I keep several journals even these days. But what do I actually write into them?

The Happy Life Tutorial

I am a person who's absolutely obsessed with making lists. Shopping lists, bucket lists, New year resolution lists, lists of books to read, lists of memories ... written on paper, in my phone, in a diary or saved in a computer. I especially love writting goals of any kind - short term or long term goals and dreams I want to turn into reality. My last list is a bit different. The goals here and not reallz goals but rather some thoughts and ideas. Things, I'd like to include in my daily life to make my life happier, more relaxed and fullfilled ♥

Things I Do When I Feel Low

This year, I was looking forward to the summer holiday more than any other year. Finally I had a chance to say goodbye to school, studying, driving lessons, the same faces I used to see every day ... and also I could finally leave all my stress and worries behind. In this post, you're gonna find my personal tips which help me in the moments when I have too many things to do but at the same time I don't feel like doing anything at all. Sometimes I experience these feelings altough I don't really have work to do, but I just feel emotionally and mentally tired. Except the tips and ideas for relaxing your mind, I'm also adding some of my hand drawn mandalas, which you can print and color on your own :)

Ikigai - Find Your Purpose

According to japanese philosophy, in everyone's life, there's something called Ikigai. It's the purpose of our life, the reason why we wake up in the morning, something that motivates us to stay alive and keep going forward ... and it's also a thing that is pretty hard to find out sometimes. 

Ikigai connects our strenghts, our hobbies and things which are beneficial to the world around us ... If we find the activity (or activities) which connects all of these aspects, we are able to find our Ikigai. 

My inspiration

There are two ways to look at the social media. Either you may think that all the photos and videos and posts on instagram, facebook and youtube create fake idea of how people should look, dress, talk and behave ... Social media created the idea of "perfect body" which increased the number of people who suffer from eating disorders ... But on the other hand, I believe that you can always choose how the things and people influence you and your life. For me, social media helped me to find several people who inspire my in my life, give me motivation to change the things I'm not satisfied with and teach me to accept and love myself for who I truly am ... Even though I know these people just from photos and videos on the internet, I feel like if I knew them in real life. These girls I'd like to talk about today are beautiful souls who changed my life in many beautiful ways ♥

How To Create a Motivational Journal

Are your bored? Do you have many things to do but instead you spend the time scrolling facebook and watching TV? Motivation is the driving force of our lives. We need it every day to work effectively, to learn and to feel that what we're doing makes sense. We all have those days sometimes, when we don't want to do anything, we feel exhausted physically and mentally and we need something to boost our life energy on all levels.  And that's exactly the reason to start your own motivational journal!

Why Did I Need To Gain Weight

I believe that Evey in our life has meaning. We chose where we want to be born and every single situations in our life happens from a reason. Coincidences don't exist. All the complicated situations
in relationships, at school, work and personal life happen in a moment when we're supposed to realize something and we need a signal from the outside to do it. It always works like this.
