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.

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...
