Ways Studying Away From Home Helped Me Grow

Monday, April 29, 2019





Getting from a High School that was just 45 minutes away from my home by bus to moving to the big city that is 80 kilometers away and living there for 5 days a week was quite a big change. Moving from home when I was 18 years old and heading to a completely different surrounding shaped me as a person. I have been living in the city for 3 years now and it is still crazy for me to look back at all the things that happened and how they affected me.

Let’s Do It Together: 7 Days of Journaling

Friday, April 26, 2019



I’m sure that you all heard so many people talking about journaling. Maybe you are one of those who absolutely love to do it. There are so many people who are absolutely amazing at it. Well, few months ago I started doing it myself but somehow just felt a bit overwhelmed with the whole concept and had ups and downs with it. I think that I put too much pressure on myself and I tried to do it like everybody else. If you are the same and find journaling interesting but just never actually prioritized it or felt like you are just not for that, then you are on the right place. Why don’t we just do it together?

I Quit Sugar for 30 Days & This Happened

Wednesday, April 24, 2019









Since I can remember, I’ve always had a sweet tooth. I really love chocolate and all different kind of sweets more than any other kind of food. That love became even bigger after I started to bake myself. Baking is something that I find very relaxing and it is one of the ways that I like to let my creativity out. Few months ago I realized that I eat too many sweets a day. I know that too much sugar is not good for your overall health and I knew that I needed to change that. I used to never go more than maybe two days without eating something sweet. So going more than 30 days without a sugar was quite a challenge.

8 Motivating Journal Prompts to Start Your Journey to Personal-Growth

Monday, April 8, 2019



In one way or another we all want to be the best version of ourselves. This is a life long journey that can sometimes take us to challenging roads. Throughout the human history we can see a lot of examples of humans desire to evolve and grow. It can be seen in many different ways through philosophy, psychology, science, etc. In today’s world we call that a journey to personal growth. We are looking for that something that is going to give a special kind of meaning to our lives. Some people find it easier to realize what they want from their lives and what they need to do to get there. For others it can be a struggle.

It has been official Spring for quite some time and as I can see from all of the flower photos on Instagram, a lot of people are happy about it.

Things I've Stopped Buying & Reasons Why

Monday, April 1, 2019


We live in a world where almost everything is focused on selling and buying. The consumerism is rooted in our lives. We are surrounded by so many materialistic things and a lot of people don’t know when it’s a right time to stop. I realized that throughout last year I stopped buying a lot of things that I would normally buy without even thinking about it. I shifted my perspective on the materialism and consumer society. It’s easy to get lost in all the ads and marketing trick that are trying to get us buying thing that we don’t even need or at least not in that way.

How to Be a Supportive Friend

Thursday, March 28, 2019




Finding a person you can truly call a friends is very special and you should feel blessed if you are one of those people. Connecting with someone on that level is not an easy thing to do. Some people just don’t get what being a real friend means. It’s definitely a relationship that requires a lot of patience and work. Maintaining a close friendship throughout the years is challenging but also very rewarding. Sometimes while we deal with our own problems we can neglect our best friend who is also going through hard time. So how to be a supportive friend even through those kind of times?

3 Ways to Push Through “I don’t feel like it” Mindset

Monday, March 25, 2019



Sometimes we can be our own enemies. We put barriers in front of us without even realizing it. Our mind is a mysterious thing. In one moment you can be the most confident and inspired person alive and in another you can feel lost and like you don’t know what to do next. One of the most common mindsets that is probably holding you back right now is the thought of not feeling like doing something. This is something that I believe all of us struggle or have struggled with at one point in our lives. The hardest thing about it is that it’s never the same and you can’t really know when it’ll appear. So what to do when it does come?

3 Podcasts Worth Listening To

Friday, March 22, 2019



Podcasts definitely became quite popular in last few years. It seems like everybody is either talking about them or having their own. There are so many of them about everything and anything you can think about. I know how hard it can be to find the ones that you’ll enjoy listening to for a long period of time. I definitely tried to listen to some in the past and they just didn’t work for me. We are all interested in different fields and thankfully the variety of podcasts is incredible. As helpful as it is to have a lot of options it can also be quite confusing and frustrating. After a long time of searching for the right podcasts for me here are just 3 of which I think are worth listening to.

I stopped watching TV – this is what happened

Tuesday, March 19, 2019




TV must be one of the greatest inventions in human history as probably every person owns or have owned a TV. With new and bigger models being released daily it seems like its fame haven’t decreased at all. Well that might not be the complete truth although there still are a lot of families that own more than just one TV in their homes. The quality of the TV program isn’t everywhere the same which is probably one of the reasons why so many people are deciding to reduce the TV watching time or even completely get rid of it. I was one of them.

We Get Lost So We Can Find Ourselves

Friday, March 15, 2019



Life is a big old road on which some signs are not as clear as others. Life puts hills and mountains on our path to see if we are willing to push through them. Sometimes we blindly follow others and other times we try to found our own path. Well the reason why so many people follow others is because finding your own path is so freaking hard. Knowing what you want to do when you grow up and who you want to be is one of the hardest and scariest parts of life but without them, what would life even be?

The Last Time You Got Lost In the Moment

Thursday, February 21, 2019




Do you remember? Do you remember that day when you didn’t think about anything else but the place, people and situation you were in? If you can easily recall that moment then good for you but let’s be completely honest, most of us have quite a hard time remembering. It’s something that became very much normal. It’s like we just live life in some kind of "cloudy state". Things happen to us but it’s like they aren’t actually happening to us in that exact moment. We are going through moments after they are already over. For most of the times we only remember them through photos and videos instead of remembering them from the emotions and feelings we felt in that exact second.

Gaining More While Shopping Less

Monday, February 18, 2019



We live in a consumer society that each day works on new ways to make you buy more. Wherever you go you can see advertisements of so many different products. They are so well made that make you unconsciously want to buy it, although you know that you don’t necessary need it. Shopping is now promoted as something fun and a way to release all of your stress and worries. This view on shopping is harming us and the environment we live in. It’s easy to get lost in the latest products that look good and it seems like a perfectly reasonable idea to own them when in fact you probably want to buy them just because of the way they look and not because you really need them. So then how to resist the urge to shop???

Signs you’re Independent, Give Yourself Some Credit!

Thursday, November 8, 2018


Do you think you're independent? I'm sure that most of you just like me never even thought about that. Independence is something that comes in different stages and situations in life and most of the time we don't think about it. It's easy to bring yourself down when you do something wrong but we never give ourselves credit for thing that we do right as small or big as they can be.
