‘A man has two women. One he lies to, the other one he tells the truth. Which one does he love?’ ‘Of course he loves the one he lies to’, I think to myself. He lies to her because he wants to protect he. So it means he loves her. Right? Wrong. As soon as […]
Read MoreI’ve got you, baby
She has finally learned to say it right. Almost: ‘I love you… infinity… back… infinite times’. I had been telling her this since the day she was born: ‘I love you to infinity and back infinite times’. It’s so rewarding to hear her say it back. My daughter is a talker. She does not stop. […]
Read MoreFriend zone
‘Have you got any friends?’ That came from a new acquaintance about a week ago. I found the question a bit strange. Who doesn’t have friends? Of course I do! But maybe there are people among us who are alone – be it by their own choice or not. Besides, how many true friends have […]
Read MoreBetween life and death lies love
I don’t think I have ever before thought that I had been at the right place at the right time at the exact moment of being there. But two weeks ago I was fully aware of it. I was the right person to be exactly where I was. At that exact moment in time. It […]
Read MoreThat crazy crazy world
‘We are in prison’. No kidding. I never thought I’d see a message like that from my sister. My sister! Who is a well behaved, intelligent lady, way less attracted to risky activities than I am. ‘You are?’, – I texted back incredulously. I wondered what on earth could a family of 5 do, to […]
Read MoreMine ‘You are not still restless in love, are you?’ – he asks me after reading my blog. Yes, there is a ‘he’ in my life. And yes, I still am. Although it’s been a few good months so far, since I came back, not wanting to run away, just being happy… being here. Then […]

‘You are the best mama’, – my daughter just whispered in my ear. And even though I know that, many times us, mothers, are so hard on ourselves, often too hard. Hearing her say that simply melted my heart. A few days ago my mom was less forgiving. ‘You don’t look like a 41 year […]
Read MoreThe shades of grey
As I write this, I see the grey sky. Which is perfect. You know how some things in life are a grey area? I’d say grey is my least favorite color, dull and boring. I’d much rather choose white or black, or better yet, all the rainbow colors. But some things are just too intricate […]

‘I love daddy’, – says my daughter. ‘I love daddy, too’, – I feel my eyes swelling up. ‘I love Spiderman, too’, – she adds. My face instantly breaks into a smile. The ways of my daughter never seem to amaze me. Our time together is precious. Call me a hypocrite. For someone who has […]
Read MoreUnprepared
I’m sure by now you have all heard about the Oscars this year. The incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock reached even me (cheers, Kristina!), deep into the prep for my move back to Europe. But no matter what you think of this moment and the behavior of the men above, you gotta admit […]
