I am not a fan of Valentine’s Day. Not even of Dragobete (Romanian love feast, the equivalent of Valentine’s Day). I just realized that last year I totally forgot about this celebration. Facebook reminded me this morning what I was doing last year on Valentine’s Day: flying to Birmingham. Now I see that it was exactly on Dragobete. Dragobete kiss girls! Whatsoever… All my Valentine’s Day/Dragobete attempts as a teenager (and not only) ended up as a disaster. Read more
I would really like to run. I think for some time already of different strategies to make me put my sneakers on and run. The fact that I would run only 0.1 minutes, makes me quit before even start 🙂 Lately, I was checking the internet for how to start running programs, which would make me run at least ten minutes continuously without losing my pride and my breath.

I love him for how he once was (or I thought he was). I love him for the strength of my love for him, although the farther he is, the more I love him now. I actually left him because of love. The forgotten love for myself. Read more
Have you ever wondered if happiness comes in small boxes? Not the kind you unwrap with a bow—though that’s nice too—but those fleeting, glowing moments that slip into your day unexpectedly, like sun through the blinds. I’ve started to believe that an hour of true happiness is more valuable than a whole day of pretending everything’s fine. Anyway, happiness, in its purest form, isn’t meant to last forever. Maybe it’s meant to sparkle, not shine constantly. After all, if we were euphorically happy all the time… wouldn’t it lose its magic?
There are moments in life when the world goes quiet—not outside, but within you. It’s in those fragile pauses that questions start to surface. Not the practical kind, but the ones that whisper through the cracks of your heart. The kind that don’t beg for answers, but simply want to be felt.
