I felt myself being pushed off the edge of a cliff by some invisible force and the feeling of losing my footing and being in mid-air caused a great sense of panic in my body, the fall lasted only a few seconds but to me, it felt like an eternity. I fell into the ocean and felt the air being knocked out of my lungs, I was drowning with no power left in my body to try to swim and save myself. All of a sudden I heard: "Lilly, wake up!"That’s when I opened my eyes and jumped up from my bed:“Phew, I’m still alive!”I knew the dream was trying to t...

Do you ever experience that feeling of just knowing what the next right choice is for you? That inner knowing, intuition you know will not fail you and cannot be wrong? Well, that is exactly and solely what I relied upon while finally taking a leap of faith into the life I deeply want and while it was not an easy choice to make, I was truly ready for it, after years and years of living completely the opposite of what I wanted from life - being in an unfulfilling relationship, working jobs that are way below my capacity and just settling...

It was a warm afternoon in October just before Halloween. Of course, at the time, the townspeople didn’t call it that way, but they were very fearful of the witches gathering, the fire they were burning, and the languages the witches were speaking. They couldn’t understand nor even imagine what the topic could be about, but nevertheless, the fear was very present in this town, tucked away between the steep mountains. It was one hour before the sunset and a light warm breeze was softly unravelling leaves of all colours from the treetops, oran...
Leonore always thought of herself as different from the others, even though she couldn't pinpoint the exact reason - always a misfit, the underdog, and sometimes just plain invisible. Somehow this equated to the definition of unworthiness, and she did spend many hours and days trying to figure out how to ever fit in with the other humans. Most other women in their mid-twenties were already married or at least had finished some school, but she was still floating through life like a feather in the sky. Not that she was undesirable, she had blo...

It was a gloomy, dark day in November, the leaves had almost entirely left their homes, trees were barren under the steel sky, which looked like it would remain that way forever. The house at the end of the village seemed lonely, and empty, like it was weeping for a new owner, but no one lived here for decades. As I parked my car in front of it, I couldn't help but think about the warmth it had 30 years ago, when my grandparents were still alive and I was only a small child so thrilled to spend time with them. The former yellow walls and bri...

11/11/2018It's been three days since I got lost in this forsaken desert, because I took a wrong turn trying to reach the ocean, so I could go to the island from the legends, which was supposed to hide the great gem of Thoth. My camel got scared away because of a snake, threw me off its back and so I am stuck here.I don't even know why I started this journey to begin with, the only thing I know is that I was looking for shelter, a place where I would stop feeling as lost and wounded as I feel now. Meanwhile, I also hurt my foot on a cac...
