Pozwól, że opowiem Ci moją historię.

No cześć.

Nie wiem, czy wiesz, ale nie jestem taka, jak Ty. Ani jak Twoja matka, brat, siostra, koleżanka. 
Nie wiem, czy zdajesz sobie sprawę, ze mówiąc "wszyscy Polacy są tacy sami" lub "a bo wszystkie kobiety to...",
"każdy facet powinien..." , że każdy jest popieprzony na swój własny sposób. Nikt nie jest normalny na tym świecie. 

Co to k w ogóle znaczy "być normalnym" ? 
Wstawać o 6 rano, jeść śniadanie, ubierać się, wychodzić do pracy, na która się będzie narzekać całe życie, wracać do domu, jeść kolacje, myć żeby, iść spać? Przepraszam, ale ja w tym normalności nie widzę. 

A może spać do południa, zwalić konia, zjeść obiad, wskoczyć na kanapę i do północy grać w PS4? Nie? Też nie? No to co to do cholery znaczy "być normalnym" i na czym ta pieprzona normalność polega, bo ja nic z tego nie rozumiem, a mam już tych lat trochę za sobą. Ale z normalnością chyba doświadczenia nie miałam.

Zaczynając moja historie muszę się przyznać do jednej rzeczy. Chyba przespałam ten dzień, w którym rozdawali normalność. Zamiast tego poszłam na rekrutacje po "wieczny głód" "ciągłe zagubienie" "nadmierne rozmyślanie" i "totalne popieprzenie". I jakoś tak nigdy w sumie nie żałowałam, bo na dobre mi to wyszło....w większości przypadków.

No dobrze, przejdźmy do konkretów.
Kim jestem? 
Jakież to złożone jest pytanie, nie sądzisz?
No bo można na to pytanie odpowiedzieć w dość prosty sposób. Jestem dziewczyna...no w sumie już kobieta. Jestem Polką. Brunetką, albo rudą (w zależności od światła i tego całego listonosza). Siostrą. Córką. Przyjaciółką. Wrogiem. Wariatką. Kretynką. Buntowniczką. Blah blah blah. Nazywaj mnie jak tylko sobie życzysz, mnie to i tak mało obejdzie. 

Ale jest też ta druga strona, ta inna historia, bardziej złożona. Jeżeli chcesz ją poznać, czytaj dalej. Jeżeli obchodzi Cię ona, jak mnie Twoja opinia na mój temat, zamknij tę stronę już teraz, bo tylko marnujesz swój czas. 

Nie chcę wracać za bardzo do początków, bo zbyt ciekawe to one nie są. Taka tam dziewczynka ze wsi pod Krakowem. No dobra dobra, Olkusz to nie taka wieś. Dość spore miasto z różnymi wariatami, których miałam przyjemność poznać w swoim dzieciństwie. Tak tak, taka ze mnie olkuska dziewczyna. Przynajmniej taka byłam gdzieś tak do 11 roku życia, bo potem moim rodzicom się znudziło i postanowili przenieść się pod Warszawę. A jako że byłam gówniarą, to raczej nie miałam za dużo do gadania, co? No bo kto pyta dzieciaka o zdanie w sprawach istotnych i istotniejszych? Zapytać można, ale posłuchać już gorzej. Co nie zmienia faktu, że było to nam wtedy wszystkim potrzebne. Zmiana otoczenia, nawyków i generalne rozpoczęcie nowego rozdziału w naszym życiu. Była to decyzja nie do uniknięcia i myśląc o tym uważam, że była to jedna z tych rzeczy, która otwiera nowe drzwi i kieruje na jeszcze lepszą drogą.

No i tak mała buntowniczka przeniosła się z miasta, by żyć na wsi.
I to na takiej wiejskiej wsi. Wiecie o co mi chodzi. Kury, jajka i biedronka. Nie żebym miała coś przeciwko. Chyba mi było to wtedy obojętnie. W sumie na czym może zależeć dziewczynce z 5tej klasy podstawówki? (Pamiętajcie, że mowa tutaj o osobie, która urodziła się w latach 90tych. Co ja tam wiedziałam o iPhone'ach, fluidach, a co dopiero mówić o całowaniu chłopaków. 

No jednym słowem nic. Ale hej ! Fajnie się żyło.)


Wracamy do tematu, bo ja tak lubię skakać z kwiatka na kwiatek. Ale trzymajmy się jednego. Także jestem sobie na wsi. Kilka dni po moich urodzinach. 11tych ! Wchodziłam w dorosłość w niezłym stylu, co? Czerwone włosy, czarne ciuchy, telefon SIEMENS z pierwszej półki. Dało się grać w wężyka! W WĘŻYKA! Wow. Szalona. 
Pomijam już tę historię szkoły podstawowej. Jak nie jestem człowiekiem ludzi teraz, tak możecie sobie wyobrazić, że nigdy nim nie byłam. Miałam tam ze 2-3 koleżanki, czy kolegów, ale na przerwach z reguły siedziałam sama w koncie lub na podwórku czekając, aż to wszystko dobiegnie
końca. Jakoś mnie nie ciągnęło do kontaktów z ludźmi. Cóż zrobić.

Podstawówka jakoś dobiegła końca. Ja przeżyłam bez super telefonu, codziennego makijażu, czy chłopaka. I było mi dobrze. Przyszedł czas na gimnazjum. Językowe! Czujesz to?! Haha. Też jakoś za bardzo z ludźmi nie trzymałam, ale miałam więcej znajomych, niż w podstawówce. Jakieś tam wycieczki, nauka, imprezy. Coś tam było. Nie ma czego za bardzo wspominać. Wiadomo, takie tam życie gimnazjalistki. Były wzloty i upadki. Większe i mniejsze przyjaźnie. Wagarowanie i generalne buntowanie się. Nadal epoka czarna. W wieku 13 lat nałożyłam po raz pierwszy (i ostatni) w moim życiu takie coś, co się nazywa "fluid". Raz w życiu mnie do tego pociągnęło i już nigdy więcej. Do tej pory nie rozumiem, na co kobiety to nakładają na twarz. Ni to ładne, ni to wygodne. Ale to tylko moje zdanie. Ty się w tym lepiej czujesz, nakładaj. Tak mnie to obchodzi, jak zeszłoroczny śnieg w Rosji.

Hej! Dałam radę i przepuścili mnie do liceum. I się będę przechwalać i powiem, że byłam wzorową uczennicą. Nie, nie poszłam na bal maturalny. Ani nie miałam ochoty, ani partnera haha. Co nie zmienia faktu, że w miarę dobrze wspominam lata gimnazjalne. Z tego co przechodziłam.

Wakacje wakacjami i czas do liceum. Oczywiście najpierw padło na Warszawkę, ale po pół roku mi się znudziło i zmęczyłam się dojazdami, więc poszłam do miasteczka niedaleko miejsca zamieszkania. Co ja będę marnować czas i siły w pociągach i tramwajach. I jeszcze żebym musiała wcześniej wstawać? No chyba nie. Także po pół roku męczarni przeniosłam się do takiego jednego liceum, do którego też się za bardzo nie nachodziłam. 

Ale hej! W tym momencie moje życie się zaczyna trochę zmieniać. Nie, nadal należę do tych dziewczyn, które przez większą część swojej młodości przeszły jako singielki. I czy narzekam? Ha, jeszcze czego. Zawsze lubiłam poświęcać swój czas wolny na to, co mnie interesowało i nie lubiłam, gdy coś mnie rozpraszało. Miałam swoje zajęcia artystyczne, językowe, fotograficzne. Robiłam to, co kochałam.
I również w tym okresie rozpoczął się mój okres fascynacji fitnessem i generalnym "zdrowym" życiem
(przynajmniej takie, jakie wówczas było promowane). Potrafiłam spędzić trenując 4 godziny dziennie, obliczałam BMI nie BMI, zapotrzebowania itp. Nie obyło się bez większych upadków. Jak już wpadłam w okres odchudzania, to wyjść z tego nie mogłam. Wpadłam w różnego rodzaju choroby (w większości psychiczne) i jako że nikt z mojego otoczenia o tym nie wiedział, ciężko mi było się z tego wydostać. Waga spadała gwałtownie. W pewnym momencie ważyłam 43kg przy 160cm wzrostu. Jak za dużo zjadłam, szłam do toalety, by pozbyć się "zbędnego" jedzenia. Trzymałam kaloryczność całodziennych posiłków do MAXIMUM 600 kcal ! 600 pieprzonych kalorii w wieku 16 lat przy aktywnym trybie życia, treningach, nauce. Plus oczywiście dochodziło też oddychanie.


Jak dzisiaj myślę o tym, w jaki sposób mogło się to dla mnie skończyć, to ręce załamuję. Ale nigdy nie byłam dla siebie wystarczająca. Wystarczająco mądra, wystarczająca ładna, wystarczająco szczupła. Zawsze mi czegoś brakowało, a moja własna krytyka wobec mojej osoby przekraczała wszelkie granice. Teraz, mając lat 23, widzę błędy, jakie popełniałam. Widzę, jak głupia byłam. Co czasem wcale nie pomaga mi w zmianie podejścia do własnej osoby. Coś zawsze będzie nie tak. Coś zawsze będzie do poprawy. I to siedzi w mojej głowie i mam wrażenie, że już zawsze będzie.


Kurczę, trochę ciemno się zrobiło, co ? Jeżeli mnie znasz, zawsze widzisz mnie uśmiechniętą, silną i niezależną.
I taka jestem i staram się być, bo życie mnie tego nauczyło i staram się jak najmocniej być jak najlepszą wersją samej siebie. I taką mnie zobaczysz i zapamiętasz. I to się liczy. Zawsze uśmiechnięta i zawsze pozytywna. Najlepsze miejsce przeszłości jest właśnie tam. I nie ma sensu wygrzebywać niektórych rzeczy, bo tylko człowiek się zadręczy niepotrzebnie. 
Ruszamy dalej, co? Był sobie ten bal maturalny, który sobie ładnie olałam i przyszedł czas na tzw. najdłuższe wakacje ucznia. Czyli te przed studiami. Dostałam się na studia i wszystko było pięknie. Na początku studiów wyprowadziłam się od rodziców i zamieszkałam w Warszawie. Studiowałam, pracowałam, rozwijałam się. Nawet prowadziłam dość bogate, jak na siebie, życie społeczne. Tu impreza, tu domówka, sylwester. Takie pierdoły. Czasem trochę zbyt duże pierdoły i głupoty. A mówi się, że człowiek z wiekiem mądrzeje. No chyba nie w moim przypadku. Hah.

I wiecie ile wytrzymałam na studiach? Pół roku? Tak, myślę że coś koło tego. 
Moje studia nie były niczym szczególnym. Nie ma się czym chwalić. Taki tam TiR na AWFie. 

Jako że od wczesnych lat kochałam fitness, języki i podróże. To takie trzy rzeczy, na których naprawdę mi w życiu zależy i zawsze  myślałam, że studiując Turystykę i Rekreację będę w stanie spełniać swoje marzenia, zdobywać szczyty.
I pewnie by tak było, gdyby mnie tak coś w tyłek nie gryzło, bo przez to, lub dzięki temu, trochę się moje plany pozmieniały. Rzuciłam studia i postanowiłam...wyjechać na Cypr. Tak bez większego zastanowienia. Nadarzyła się okazja, to ją chwyciłam bez wahania i już mnie nie było.
Tak, w wieku lat 18tu rzuciłam wszystko, całe to moje Polskie życie, i zaczęłam swoją przygodę z podróżami. I od Cypru wszystko się zaczyna. I na Cyprze ma początek moje prawdziwe życie, o którym warto opowiadać. I właśnie tutaj zacznie się prawdziwa historia warta podzielenia się ze światem.





Czy było łatwo?
Z porzuceniem mojego życia w Polsce nie miałam problemu. Nigdy nie byłam w żadnym związku, nie miałam większych planów związanych z tym krajem, a moja rodzina zawsze budowała w mojej głowie obraz, że tam gdzieś jest coś więcej. Że człowiek, który nie pyta, nie podróżuje, nie poznaje, nigdy nie będzie człowiekiem w pełni. Że warto jest odkrywać i drążyć dziury w skałach. I mieli rację i nigdy, ale to nigdy nie żałowałam i żałować nie będę decyzji podjętej na początku 2014 roku, by spakować to, co najważniejsze i kupić ten bilet w jedną stronę. Bilet, który jak się potem okazało, miał na zawsze zmienić moje życie.

8 May 2018

I am coming home.

I always wanted my life to be exciting, without any routine. I thought that was the only way to fall in love with it and to live. I never wanted my days to be the same and I was running away from the system wake up-eat-work-eat-sleep etc. I was scared that if my days weren't different one from another, I would never find the real happines. So what have I done? At age of 19 I left for my first adventure, Cyprus. I became an entertainer in the hotel, so as you can imagine, there was not a single day without surprises. We were enjoying out lives, each day, each night. Everything was exciting. Everyday we were meeting new people, as there were new guests in the hotel, new crazy stramgers on the bar streets, new ideas, new stupid decisions. And the life has been going this way for almost 4 years. Every few months I was changing the place I have been living in, I was meeting new people and making new stupid decisions, which made my life more...fun, I guess. I always thought that this was the way the humans should go through this world, that the people who live just to go to work, earn money and sleep are just wasting their lives. What's te point of living if you're stuck in one city, with the same people and places every single day. No one can be happy existing like this. At least that's what I thought.


I couldn't be more wrong.


Ok maybe not about "wake up work sleep" theory, because I still believe that this is not the way to do it, to live. But now I know there is no need to change every month the city, the people, the job. That won't make me happy, that wouldn't make you happy, I think. 



Walking down the streets of Prague with my best friend on my side and her boyfriend on her side with her puppy following our steps and seeing her being so so happy I realized something very important. 


It's not about the changes, it's not about the places, the people, the job. It's all in your head, it is not real, it is not important. Why would you like to move if you're happy? Why would you like to change if something brings you smile on your face? The deal is to find that ONE place, ONE person, ONE job, which will make you feel something different. Because when you do, when you finally find a place, which you will be able to call "home", because that is what you feel in your heart, you won't be seeking anything different. 

I don't say "keep it same keep it simple", because small changes are good. But don't think that your life depends on that. Sometimes old things are much better than something "improved" or "modified". If you want to change that old bed you've been sleeping on since years, move the kitchen table, put some plants on the window, cut your hair, stop eating vanilla ice-cream and try the banana ones, don't be scared to try new things, to change. But at the same time don't be afraid to settle. Don't be afraid of the routine in your life, because sometimes it may be the best thing that will happen to you in a day. 

You wake up with a bed hair day. You're late to work. You forgot to buy the coffee. Your car does't want to start. The bus didn't arrive on time. You made your suit dirty with this donut from the street seller. You lost your phone. You broke the heel. Your mom is still pushing on this wedding. 
Bum.




He's hugging you.

She's smiling at you.

He comes to listen.

They want to meet.

You
try to help.





She, He, They, You. That's what matter. Those are the people, who no matter what will bring your soul up, will cheer you up, will make a change. And that's the important difference you can be seeking for in your life. You don't need a flight ticket or a new job for that. Because life can be hard, can throw shit in front of you or give you lemons and no tequila. But that's ok. Nothing and no one is perfect. No one's life is perfect, even if they do say that online. Instagram, Facebook...that can fool you and you can feel like you deserve more. If she could go to Hawaii, why are you stuck in this small town with no KFC?! If he can purpose, why are you still wanking under the table dreaming of the perfect girlfriend? 

First of all, you don't have to. You can bring a difference if you want to. You can have it all if you try, if you do something about it. But just because she looks good in this blue dress it doesn't mean it'd be your colour. It could make you fat. So don't try to change your life, just because someone else's is different. Chase your own happiness, own dreams and goals. But don't depend on changes and don't make the same mistake as I did.

I was so focused on making my life exciting, special, that I wasn't able to be happy about simple things, which were happening on a daily basis. I was chasing impossible, trying to run away from the routine. Don't get me wrong, as I do not dare to complain, I loved my life the way it was and I am happy about almost every decision I made in my life. It made me who I am, it built me. But it also made me realize that sometimes the most beautiful things and the most beautiful life is waiting just in front of you. I was blind thinking that the plane ticket would change my life, would make me happier. It has. Every time. But then when I was changing and had to start everything from the beginning...I was left with nothing. I had to start from the big zero. Every time when I was going "home" I had to look for myself over and over again. I have never had my own own place for a longer. I had apartments, rooms etc. but it was never for a long term, I was always prepared for something new, for a change.. Now I know everyone needs their base. The place you could call home and in which you could put this ugly picture on the wall, this fluffy rug next to your bed, the star wars' collection. Who cares if it's ugly, pointless, if it's a waste. It is YOURS. This one thing you don't ever have to change. And that's what matters. 


You don't need a crowd of people to feel happy and mostly you won't feel happy in a crowd of people. Too many is sometimes too much. Sometimes simplicity is the answer. Sometimes just one smile is all you need.

A rare creature- "happy person"

04 October 0
Some people are just a walking bomb of negativity. It doesn't matter how good things are they will always find a dark side of it. The sun is always too bright, water is too wet, others are too happy, etc. I think some people can moan about everything. And you know what is the worst part about hanging out with them? They are sucking your good energy, your vibe. It doesn't matter how happy you are or how good your day was, they will make you feel like a walking disaster, like a bag of trash. I am a kind of person who will try to give as much of a good energy as possible.
I love to be happy and I love to see other people smiling. I won't moan about simple failures or stupid details, I will try to find a good side in everything, something to squeeze out of everything. And there's nothing wrong with it, is there? The problem appears when I am giving it away, but I am not getting anything in return. And I am not trying to stay away from negative people. I try to keep them around to put my good vibes on them, try to help them. But sometimes it is impossible. Sometimes they are just too much. And then I have to push them away, because we all work on our own happiness and I can not let my good energy to be vacuum by some human warms.

Do you realize how many people are struggling to survive the day? How many of them is being left with nothing? And you know what? Most of them is still able to get more joy from life than you. You with the iPhone paid by your parents or you who just bought brand new shoes because the others got stained from this festival you went to last week.

You wake up in the morning, you're having your cap of coffee, you sit on the terrace and feel the sun on your face. But wait, coffee was too hot so now you will get angry at your boyfriend for no reason, just because you burnt your tongue. Anyway, you start to prepare to work. You can't find anything to wear in a pile of cloths thrown everywhere around your room with double bed. After a while of complaining you finally find this leather skirt and a nice cardigan. Put on some make-up, that brands I am not able to name, spray some Chanel perfumes on and leave the house. There you go. Terrible morning just begin, as your eyeliner wings aren't even. Let's get started. You arrive to work, bus was too crowded, street wasn't straight enough and this guy on the crossing was staring at you with this "weird" smile, what a creep. Ok, what's next. You've got nothing to do for first few hours, so you just scroll through facebook, tinder, instagram and complain about how other people lives are more interestng than yours. Look, she just went to Bali, she's getting married and he just bought a new car. And you? Fuck, your life sucks, doesn't it? You've got cloths to wear, food to eat, money to spend. But who cares, you always have to be a victim. Few hours later the boss comes to work and gives you too many tasks, you're too busy now. Why are you even still doing this job? Or nothing to do, or too much to do. Shit life, you should definitely quit. But how could you afford this steak in this lovely restaurant near the beach? How could you afford every night parties with your friends or this overpriced drinks? Yes, exactly. Better just complain how your life suck. You go back home, finally. 9h at work killed you. And 1h for lunch wasn't enough, because you had to walk over 10min to get some food. Anyway, you're at home now so be happy. You take off your shoes, your coat, your trousers, you sit down on the couch, open the bottle of wine and turn on TV. The wine is not sweet enough, the couch is not soft enough and they don't play good enough movies in TV. So you shut down everything and you go to take a shower. Fuck, the water is too hot, now it's too cold. Why they can't create a perfect water control system? You're done. You go to bed and you start scrolling through some social pages again. You will text some friends how shit your day was and expect them to agree with you, to tell you that their day was a failure too. You won't talk with happy people, why should you. How come they're happy and you're not. They should also be miserable, no?

STOP. STOP IT !

Sit down once in a while and just breath. Breath and think how lucky you are to be where you are, to be who you are. You woke up today. You breath. Be grateful for another day. Learn to appriciate little things. Can you, please? It's not as bas as it seems. And I told you that once and I will repeat myself milion times more.



Be happy. It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be alright.

Why Tenerife?

26 September 0
When someone tells me he or she doesn't like Tenerife, they are or laying or the only thing from the Island they've seen were walls of the hotel. I arrived here in November 2016, so it's been almost a year that I'm here. For that reason I can honestly say that I have seen enough to say that this Island is magical and everyone can find here their place. 

Tenerife is the island of a thousand experiences. You can get lost in nature, relax on the beach, climb Teide, go shopping, see a show, walk the old town cobbles, have fun at a theme park, play golf …




The largest of the seven Canary Islands, Tenerife sits in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of North Africa and enjoys eternal sunshine. Tenerife is a volcanic island that has been sculpted over time by several eruptions. It has a great mix of rugged terrain, dramatic landscapes and a sub-tropical climate with temperatures averaging 20°C – 22°C in the winter months and 26°C – 28°C in the summer. At 3,718 metres, Teide volcano is Spain's highest peak and its two ecosystems make the climb an experience full of contrasts. With local guides you get an in-depth experience and the mountain refuge is the spot for superb dawn views. 
Over the years Tenerife has become a popular holiday destination and it’s easy to see why with dozens of great resorts to choose from. A visit to Tenerife is not complete without taking the cable car to the summit of Mount Teide, Spain's highest mountain, for panoramic views of the island. Another favourite activity is to head to lovely Garachico to drink coffee in the prettiest plaza on the island and swim in the rock pools hewn from lava. For a taste of the real Tenerife visit La Laguna, the former capital and a Unesco World Heritage Centre, which has eclectic architecture spanning four centuries, great shopping and a thriving tapas scene. If you're a hiker, don't miss the ancient laurel forests and rugged ravines of the Anaga Mountains.


Playa de las Américas is the party capital of Tenerife, that’s the most important aspect to remember about this lively resort on the south coast of the island. Thousands of revellers live it up in this vibrant and colourful holiday destination that is renowned for its 24-hour festivities, making it one of the most popular plces to visit in all of Europe. 


Los Cristianos is situated west of the southern airport (Reina Sofía) and is one of the most popular and busy resorts on the Canary Islands. The beaches are beautiful and it has a harbour that offers fishing trips, pleasure cruises, outings on glass bottom boats, diving excursions and ferries to the neighbouring island of La Gomera.
It was once an old fishing town that over the years has experienced major expansion, making it a popular choice for an enjoyable day trip. Many holidaymakers stay in quieter resorts and visit Los Cristianos for the buzz before heading back to their retreat elsewhere on the island.





The south west coast of Tenerife is a spectacular spot for watching whales free in the ocean. Up to 26 species are found just off the coast, including baleen whales, killer whales, dolphins, pilot whales and even blue whales.


Connected to El Medano beach and within the Montaña Roja protected area we find this little treasure of Tenerife. The kilometre stretch of fine, toasted sand, well away from urban areas, is perfect for a relaxing day on the beach.





Los Gigantes in the west enjoys long sunshine hours and provides a quieter alternative to the south. In the north, Puerto de la Cruz is the greenest and most traditional resort with plazas, botanical gardens and easy access to historic centres while Santa Cruz combines beach time with shopping, plazas and art galleries.






But it's not only about places. Of course they're spectacular and make you fell like you've found heaven on earth. But it all comes together with people you meet here and things you do. We all come from different parts of the world, but we've got one thing in common. We want to live our life in 100% and don't waste any single day. We want to take on the world and make unforgettable memories. It all makes it special, it all makes it my life. And I love it.

The message in the bottle

21 September 0
Hey You! Yes, You! I want to tell you something. I want you to be happy. I want you to take each day as it was your last one, I want you to fight for what you want and what you love. You want to travel? Go! Pack your suitcase and just go. You want to eat this chocolate cake? Fucking eat this chocolate cake? You're scared of this 2 extra kg? That's a bullshit. Stop thinking about stupid things that humanity makes so "important". You're afraid that if you will go on this trip you might lose your job? And? So what?! Think about things that this experience will bring you, think about possibilities, memories. Those are things which can not be measured. You like this girl from the cafe you go to every single day just to see her? Invite her for a meal, walk, a movie, make a step. And you girl, you like this boy from across the street, but it is so inappriopriate for a girl to approach a guy. Another social BULLSHIT. Do it, why should you wait? Have you seen how many tragedies have been happening around the world? It's time for us to realize that there are things worth fighting for. I think people forget what's really important. We chase to get the best job, more money, better equipment, more expensive gadgets, but we forget about real values and things which really matter in life. You work 24/7 to earn money to get the new iPhone, but you forget about birthday of your aunt, performance of your daughter and finally, you forget about you. You chase after something which will bring you 5s of happiness, but then you sit down alone in your expensive villa, turn on your huge TV and realize you're all by yourself, there's no one around and it's too late now, because the girl you liked is married to this guy who took her for a trip to some, as you said that before, stupid village to ride horses. And you can not call your mum, because she passed away few months ago and you forget to bring new lillas to her grave. 

But wait, I forgot. You got stuck at work, which you probably hate, to get some money, which you probably won't spend, because it's good to have, isn't it? 

We get bored with childhood, rush to grow up and then long to be children again. We lose our health to make money and then lose our money to restore our health. We think anxiously about the future and forget the present so that we life in neither the present nor the future. We live as if we will never die and die as though we had never lived. Think about it. Think about if you were about to die tomorrow, would you be happy about the way you were living? Would you be able to say "I did it, I was happy"? Or would you die with regrets? Don't let that happen to you. Just live to be happy. 
If you want to be happy, be. They may call you crazy, psycho...but who cares. You're not being born to live someone else's expectations. 

Let me tell you a story

21 September 0
Do you know the saying that night shift workers don't see the sun? Which basically mean that we don't have a life.

Most of the you probably think that people, who work during the night, don't live during the day, because they sleep all the time. That's why, theoretically, relationships between night and daytime workers are impossible. Isn't it true ? Do you know why it wouldn't work out? I will try to show you on a simple example. Listen closly.

It's 6pm, you just finished working and guess what, I am preparing myself to start my night shift and work when you'll be sleeping. I will come back home around 4am, probably wake you up for a possible sex or something hoping you're not too tired or sleepy. After we will be laying next to each other, you will kiss my neck and I will pull you closer to me to feel the warmth of your body. Then we will fall asleep holding each other. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Ok, now it's 9am and you have to wake up to go to work. You will try to do it quietly not to wake me up, but I will probably do just to make you a coffee and spend few minutes with you before you leave. And you do. It's 9:30am. I go back to sleep to wake up 2h later. It's 12 o'clock now and I am getting ready to grab a fast dinner with you. We go to some nice place or just sit on the beach eating pizza and drinking beer. 
2pm
You're going back to work and I am living my life till 6pm. 
It's 6pm....and we're back to the beginning of this story.

There are no evenings together. We usually don't sit on the couch at 8pm eating some take away, cuddling and watching movies. We don't have time for that, we've got different lives, different schedules. 

Of course there is also this one day a week when we've got time for each other. Then we do all kind of stuff together. Stuff we don't have time for during the week when we're working. We are forgetting about the world. 
There's just you and me. 

How does it look for you? Did you like this little story about these two people being together? 
Honestly, I did. When I started writing it I thought I wouldn't, but it doesn't look that bad, you know? I was trying to prove a point that relationships between night shift and day shift workers or in general people with different live schedules are impossible. But how wrong I was. It seems difficult when you think about it, but you can work out evrything If only you want to.

I do realize this post is a total mess. So are my thoughts in my head. I am trying to clean up my mind, to organize everything what's cluttering inside. So don't mind me and take as much as you can from this story. We all hear what we want to hear and we all understand what our mind is capable to understand.

The story is nice, can't hide it. But after taking some things under the consideration I got to the conclusion that it would be very hard or even impossible to have a relationship like this. Ok, maybe if both of you are two people who like their own space more than anything and don't need to spend time one with another, then maybe yes. But relationships are about spending time together, being there for each other. If you are working 9am-6pm and me from 7pm-3am or the opposite, there's no way it could work. Just a recent thought ;)

Did you now that if you're 22 years old and you've got no idea what to do in your life you're basically screwed?I knew that. Well done clever girl. But you know what's even worse ? When you're 22 years old and you want too much. You've got so many plans for your life, so many ideas that you are not capable of making your mind or deciding on one thing. I know it might sound stupid, but it's not. So many people are asking me what I want to do in my life, what are my goals, my dreams, my plans, my hobbies and passions. And I feel so stupid when I am not able to answer this, at a glance, simple questions. BULLSHIT !

I am 22 years old girl.
I can speak 5 languages fluently, I can communicate in 7. I love travelling so I've been thinking of making a living from being some kind of travel agent or creating my own travel organization. As I've been travelling whole my life, at the beginning with family and with getting older I got more independent, I know a lot about other countries and cultures and I really love learnig through travelling. I think no school will give you as much experience as getting lost between little alleys in Portugal or eating Arabic bread somewhere on the desert with the natives.
Or maybe I should get into real estate business? You also need to know languages, be organized person and capable of dealing with people and use your skills of persuasion, which I believe to have. (told you it's not that easy).

I am very interested in photography, that's why since few years I've been focusing on becoming better photographer. I spent hours working with my cameras in different enviroments and after that working on them on my computer. I am not a professional photographer yet, but I am on my way to become one.

I love fitness, that's why I took some courses, I went to the PE school and for few years I have been very focused on my healthy fit lifestyle. I still love it and I see myself as a personal trainer in the future. I do not put it as a priority at the moment, but I know I would be really good in this job.
Making people's lifes better, that would be definitely something for me.


I can not forget about an art of being a bartender. And I am not talking about working in All Inclusive bar, and making "whisky coke" or "a pint". I am talking about a real bartending. Don't get me wrong, every job is a job and I am not trying to put anyone down, but there's nothing special if you work in a bar where measurements don't matter and who cares if you put lemon instead of lime. Most of the clients are probably too drunk to realize that anyway. But for me being a bartender is same as being an artist and to create a perfect coctail is same as creating a work of art, if you know what you're doing. That's what I want to do, that's who I want to be. And I don't like judgmental looks at people's faces when I say I see myself as a bartender in the future. As I said, for me bartender=an artist. If you're good at what you're doing you can really achieve a lot.

Few times I got this thought of being a wedding planner. I do not think about having my own, but I can definitely imagine myself orgaizing someone else's wedding. Chosing the perfect dress, music, decorations, place. And everything to create the most beautiful day of one's life. We come back here again to my obsession- organization. I love to have everything under control, perfectly planned, I am a master in making lists, notes, etc. And yes, I know I am good at it.

So, here you can see my few ideas where do I see myself in the future. The most important? I see myself happy, with no regrets, living my life in 100%. Some of you might laugh. I don't mind. You might be thinking that I am irresponsible, that I should think about earning money and making a future and maybe even family and I won't go too far if I will keep living the way "don't worry be happy". And I am not saying you're wrong. I might wake up in 10 years doing what I am doing now. Laying on the beach with my drink, maybe next to my love one, thinking about all the ideas I've got in my head and trying to figure out my life. Who knows. Or maybe I will become one of the above? Or maybe I will change my mind completely in few year? Who knows. At the moment I don't, so if any of you got any idea what should I do with my life, don't tell me. I will figure it out one day. For now I just want to be happy and nothing will stand on my way to achieve my goal.

See, as I told you, having too many ideas is almost as bad as not having any. But if really you're in your 20's and you still don't know what to do with your life, honestly, get your shit together. Pack a backpack and go to Thailand, Cyprus, Australia. Wherever. Change something, take chances, take that risk because you don't know what is waiting for you behind the corner.
