In the past couple of days (again) my mind and heart were all about my mum, who passed nearly 3 years ago. She was an incredible woman. Intelligent, wise, beautiful, smartly funny, with an amazing sense of reading people’s character. Seemed very much like someone who lived life on her own terms. Still, she might […]
Coming close to the end of a not so easy year. Whatever you believe, to whomever you believe, how many (un)answered questions you might have, whatever you decided on, however many conversations you heard, took part in, however much you feared or cried, how much you (didn’t) care, however you went through this past year, […]
‘Divide and rule’ – this saying is attributed to Philip II of Macedon, who lived 382-336 BC.

Have you ever heard the expression ‘trauma response’? It is mostly used for the emotional response to some terrible events, like an accident, rape or natural disaster. On a seemingly lighter level, agreeing to things just to keep the peace, is actually also a trauma response that becomes part of life of a relationship dependent […]

We all experience it in our lives. Some of us more than once. Sometimes it gets brutal, sometimes smooth, some foreseeable, some completely unexpected. Whether it happens after 6 weeks, 6 month or 6 years, however way it happens, someone will get hurt in it. As with everything in life, here also are two sides […]
In recent days I experienced something that triggered me. Nothing devastating only sad, discouraging and/or annoying.
