Not giving up

Life was kicking me lately and my first reaction was to curl up, make myself small and let it kick me. I even considered giving up on my dreams, on all the things I want for myself. But this morning I felt I can’t be like this anymore and that’s it’s time I started kicking … Continue reading Not giving up

Sometimes I’m tired of knocking on doors

Sometimes I feel tired. Tired of fighting, of trying to convince people that I know what I'm doing, that I know what I want. Those are the moments when I wish that everything was easy, that work proposal fell into my lap, that someone would e-mail me and say 'Hey, would you please write/translate/edit this … Continue reading Sometimes I’m tired of knocking on doors

Birthday writing, or day 4 of #100daysofwriting

Today is my birthday and writing today felt actually extra good. It was like I was giving myself a present by doing the work, writing, looking for the story. Taking a break is easy, one day wouldn't hurt probably, but I also know how easily one day turns into two, then three and before you … Continue reading Birthday writing, or day 4 of #100daysofwriting

Where my ideas live

I have so many ideas, for the blog, for my Instagram, even for YouTube channel or podcast I don't have. But I don't follow up on them. I write them down, or not, and that's where they live.

Curiosity and drawing my own map

I'm making plans, writing out the next steps, looking up places and people I want and need to write to. There so much I want to happen, there is so much I want to achieve. I know who I want to be, I know where I want to be and there are steps to take … Continue reading Curiosity and drawing my own map

Going for it

I said I'm done hiding and I meant it. I've decided to put myself out there in the big, scary world. I'm going to collect 100 rejections in a year. Or at least that's what I'm going for, but I might fail at it, just like Vivian Lee. https://twitter.com/vivianwmlee/status/1029010647223357440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw I've got this idea from Jia … Continue reading Going for it

How much do you want it?

If you say you want to read more and then you binge watch series for hours, what are you actually saying? When you say you want to write and then never set a pen to paper (or fingers to the keyboard), what are you actually saying? For me you’re saying that you don’t really want … Continue reading How much do you want it?
