# of Friends

I decided to run a survey among my friends. Usually, our conversations start with questions, but this time the topic is rather serious. I have to wait for the sun to set and night to fall. When it’s dark, I’ll ask my question. Here it is: “How many friends do you have?” I’m not asking […]

My writing environment

I am accompanied by the view from my window, which overlooks the street. It is filled with tables of people commiserating, laughing and arguing, as well as people passing by, either calmly or hurriedly. I sit at my large wooden table, which is right next to the window. In front of me is the fireplace, […]

Immigrant in the Land of Dreams

One evening, I was lost in my thoughts. As always. Then I realised and I told myself: If you want to build a new life, you must first let go of your old ideas. Otherwise, you could find yourself in the position of an illegal immigrant in your new life, constantly anxious about being deported […]

Lost in translation

I do all my writings in two languages. I don’t just mean the words I use. At the same time, I write with the different feelings of two different cultural perspectives. Translating words is easy if you have the same feelings in the language you’re translating into. But what if there aren’t? This is exactly […]

Recovery time

I have been thinking about the recovery time associated with psychological therapies or individual meditation. What if the time it takes to heal is related to how long we have been carrying our wounds? What if it’s similar to the process of losing weight? Losing weight healthily takes as long as it took to gain […]

The Invention of Imagination

How did imagination begin?Did it emerge as a kind of invention, or is the ability to dream of things we don’t have hardwired into our genes? For example, would the first humans have considered the desire of caves a luxury given the conditions of that period, or was this imagination formed in their minds out […]

In Robin Sharma’s book The Wise Man Who Sold His Ferrari, the following quote is mentioned: ‘Set your goals in life.Once you do this, the natural forces that turn these dreams into reality come into play.’ When I read these words, I suddenly experienced a strange mixture of feelings. I felt simultaneously very upset and […]

Resignation

Maybe I’m still not sure where to go, but now I know that I must first leave the ‘home’.If I can throw myself out onto the street, surely the road will take me somewhere at least. I feel like I will be where I am meant to be… Since I don’t know how the weather […]
