Let´s just say I have some opinions and stories to share.


I met myself in a tram

I sipped a cup of coffee I made myself at work, and I was on my way to my apartment. Then I saw her. It was the teenage me, sitting a few rows before me, eyeing the cup of coffee in my hand. She didn´t drink coffee, and never thought she would. I waved at her to come over. When she asked, why am I drinking it, I said

Randění je jako matika
Jestli počítáš s rovnicemi na papíře nebo s lidmi v realitě je vlastně docela podobné. Jednoduše se snažíš, aby ti vyšlo něco, u čeho nevíš pár neznámých. Člověk to vidí okolo sebe a říká si, všem to vychází, proč by to nemohlo vyjít i mně? Jenže zrada! Někdy příklady ostatních mají méně neznámých než ty tvoje. Moje vztahy jsou jako rovnice bez zadání, které na mě vyzývavě koukají na prázdném papíře a já nevím, čeho mám vlastně docílit. Vím, čeho chci docílit JÁ, ale pak zjis

Our parents... miss us?
What do you mean, I have to make an effort to see my parents? I went from bumping into them in the kitchen to scheduling coffee dates to catch up. I don´t know whether they have plans for the weekend, unless I call them. Moving out on your own brings many changes, and most of them you see coming, but sometimes they arrive in a slightly different package. For example, the change in the relationship with your parents. I didn´t expect my presence to actually be missed. This soun

The hell called finding a job and love
I swear to the gods there´s nothing more humiliating and frustrating than waiting for an invite to an interview or a date.

Life's such a flirt
Sometimes it feels like life is screening a movie just for the sight of our eyes. The misty mornings with rays of sunshine, the birds singing in the forest, or the smell of grass when you open a window in the countryside. These are the moments that feel like a secret between life and you. In a book called Women Living Deliciously by Florence Given, the author presents the idea that if you look for it, love actually is all around. Wait. My bad. That is from the movie Love, Ac
