As 2023 is over, let's see what were the 12 major events and lessons of my year: Name Change A year has gone by since I've got my new name identity papers. The most interesting thing about the process was that they had to reissue my birth certificate also. It felt very empowering to know I've got a birth certificate with…

Here's bellow a week-by-hour schedule to incorporate protective measures for all aspects of life - a general guideline on how you can allocate your time to address protective measures for critical risks that could have th…

I was watching a tv series I've been following for 20 years on and off.  I thought it all ended when she married him.  But after many years of marriage he died. And she was single again. She met an old love. And it just baffled me how a story I once thought ended, suddenly restarted. Cause what seemed like a definitive end was n…

The title of this movie intrigued me since I first heard of it.  How can you love a bomb? But after much Byron Katie work and amounts on reading on how to accept what is, I find the exercise of loving the bomb to be quite effective. Because we all have to accept the negative parts of life if we are to endure it.  And one could even …

There are so many expressions in each language that refer to the fact that people cannot change: "A leopard can't change its spots." "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." "Once a cheater, always a cheater." "People don't change, they just reveal who they really are." I don't…

In the depths of the internet, on an old forgotten reddit page about cool websites that no one knows about, I discovered a game that changed the way I will ever interact with people. Sounds like a big promise but just like every basic thing that once discovered starts to make sense forever, the little pieces of wisdom that the game …

In my experience there are three kinds of people in relationships, and we might go through a couple or all of the stages in our lifetime: 1. The really bad ones. So bad they don't even deserve to be in relationships. They yell, they hit, they cheat, they lie, manipulate and/or all sorts of other things.  They probably have deep…

It's a general advice we get not to compare. I for one do not agree with this. Sure, don't dwell on the differences between you and people who have more .. of whatever, or do better at .. whatever. We're all on our own journeys. Don't make anyone feel as if they're not good enough compared with ..  Like, don'…

I have read something interesting that said "there are no stressful situations, only stressful ways of perceiving situations". Kind of left me perplexed a little when I read it, but I thought about it and they're right. I see it in different situation with other people. They get really nervous let's say if they don…

Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere Looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and they snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's…

I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest we…

S-au intamplat multe lucruri frumoase in luna mai. Am ajuns iar la cursurile de dans popular si din fericire mi le-am amintit pe toate pe care le-am invatat anul trecut: Geamparaua, Floricica, Ghimpele, Jiana, Balaceana, Alunelul, Ciuleandra.. Ma bucur mult si ca am rezistat fizic sa le dansez pe toate dupa o pauza asa mare. Noroc c…

In the last year I became hyper-vigilent and more negative. I remember one time my mother not being able to find the cat and me immediately thinking the cat has died and planning on how to bury it and hide it's death (while the cat was just sleeping under a table), or my mother not picking up my calls and me being so sure she mi…

Mi-e greu sa pun o eticheta anului care a trecut, a fost insa cu siguranta un an al emotiilor si al deciziilor. Se incheie anul in care am avut norocul sa cunosc persoana minunata cu care m-am casatorit, dar si anul in care am suferit cele mai multe pierderi. Am avut sansa unui serviciu foarte bun, la care am putut lucra de acasa, s…
