  • Love Story or Life Story

    During tough times, I often turn to Esther Perel for wisdom. Recently, I heard an episode where she shared the difference between a love story and a life story, which resonated with me. She explained that not every love story becomes a life story. I hadn’t considered this distinction before, and it has made me…

  • Adult Friendships

    Recently I read a book by Mel Robbins called “The Let Them Theory”. The chapter that really got me was on adult friendships and how difficult it is to make them and even more to maintain them. From my previous posts, maybe you will notice how much I cherish and value my friend village. For…

  • The 2025

    If I ask people in my personal village, how would you describe 2025? The response would be somewhere along the lines of: life-changing, unstable and unpredictable, shedding the old and rebirth, shattering, etc. Whether you believe in astrology and planetary movements or not, I am sure you have someone in your life who made a…

  • Celebrating Love Day

    Today is my favourite non-holiday holiday, Valentine’s Day. It is a day celebrating and honouring love in our lives. Many will say it has been commercialised and created a lot of pressure around it, and there is no dispute there. It is only for the strongest hearts to endure the overwhelm of hearts and cheesiness.…

  • One for Love

    I have been asked by my 2 devoted readers when the next post is coming, and life lately has been pure immersion into experiencing and feeling. So I thought, most of the time, we create out of sadness or hard times. Writing and all forms of art come in as a lifeline, as a healing…

  • Happy Enough?

    Majority of our lives and most of the time during our life, we are chasing the phantom called: happiness. It is such a powerful word with so many facets. It is as unique as each one of us is. Happiness has a different meaning to all of us, there is no universal formula on how…

  • Living & Loving Intentionally

    As promised in the last post, I found below advices so simple and useful to increase the quality of our relationships and love in our lives.  The steps above are the ones leading us from attention to intention and conscious connection. It takes time and consistency; intensity of the feeling does not necessarily lead to…

  • Intentional Love

    There is rarely a conversation of responsibility that being someone’s friend or partner carries. We often speak about commitment, efforts, actions, service, etc. Recently, I heard a question: can you hold my heart gently and with care? It stuck with me because it is actually a responsibility to treat someone’s heart with gentleness and care…

  • Alone vs. Lonely

    I often talk with people about the difference between the two, especially since living in this surreal environment that I currently find myself in. I find that people do not know how to be alone and often they feel lonely even with people around them. It is a tough world we live in, creating and…

  • How do you apologize?

    I have been grappling with this topic for a while now, it is a natural continuation of the last week’s post but also one that seems to be universal and yet again it varies greatly in performance styles. As with everything so far, the way we apologize or if we apologize in the first place…
