My 2012

The year is almost over and I cant stop reflecting over it. It's been fun, full of trips, family, hard work, love, but also disappointments and tears. I passed some really tough arabic exams, saw my dad after being apart for 3 years, saw my grandma and cousins after 9 years.
I let go of an old love and a disfunctional relationship and I actually met a new love.. I started writing my book, got envolved in some volunteer work, got a job, read so many books, made new friendships and I traveled to New York, Chicago, Houston, 3 times to Egypt, St. Petersburg, Barcelona and London, all that during 2012.
I spent time with people I love the most and had endless conversations, dinners, went to museums, sightseeings, movies and even theater. It's been a good year even though it turned out to be different than I expected. Still I'm happy about all what I did. I saw parts of the world I've always dreamed of. I did things I never thought would be possible. And here I am, waiting for 2013 to begin. First trip's gonna be to Cairo, Egypt, where I'll be spending my 25th birthday, surrounded by the best friends in the world. I'm thinking of spending a month there, then I'll be back to work.

Happy New Year to all of you!

Missing you

When I miss you, I write about you. Thats how I keep the memory of you alive.
The funny thing is, I find myself using your expressions, talking just like you did. Why would I want to imitate you? Guess Im doing it on some unconcious level.
I dont see you in my dreams, it stopped some time ago. Now it takes a lot to recreate the vision of you in my head. Sometimes I try, but I dont see it too clearly. You are disappearing... Slowly, piece by piece. I try to remember what you smelled like, the funny faces you made, that unique walk of yours. When it gets unbearable I look at your pics, but not longer than for a second or two. I tell myself its okay to be on my own, but I wish there had been more time to say all of the things I left unsaid. The chance is lost and I will keep silent, until the day I see you again.

December miracles

I love how unpredictable life is. Whenever I feel like giving up, it always surprises me by giving me something completely unexpected, yet nice. Pleasant surprises of my favourite kind, the desperately-needed ones.
A new job and a trip to London is coming up! I am a lucky girl! Indeed! I've been hoping and praying for a decent job for so long and here it is, waiting for me to start this week.

5 biggest regrets in life

Nurse Bronnie Ware wrote a book called "Regrets of the Dying", here's a short summary.


1. "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."

2. "I wish I didn't work so hard"

3. "I wish I had the courage to express my feelings."

4. "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."

5. "I wish I had let myself be happier."

When I grow old

When I grow old I want to be one of those grandmas who live in a tiny little red house, who bake cookies and invite neighbours, buy flowers, read stories for the grandchildren, help homeless people, sit on a bench and read her favorite book while the dog is socializing with other dogs, and think about life and the cities I visited, people I met, jobs I had, men I dated and all the stories I heard while living in different places...
