    Can you create a home far away from home?

    October 2, 2019 / 4 Comments

    Since the people back where you come from have started to treat you as a foreigner, and the people in the country where you are currently residing have always been treating you as a foreigner - and most likely will continue to treat you as one - is there a way that you can create for yourself a home far away from home?

    With the increasing amount of protests, such as Fridays for Future, and the demands from the public for the Governments in the World to do something to mitigate climate change and to keep global warming under some kind of control, we have to ask ourselves what can we – as individuals – do, in order to live more sustainable and environmentally-friendly life.

    Moving abroad? There is only one thing you need to take with you.

    September 13, 2019 / 3 Comments

    For almost every young person who moves abroad to study or work, the following problem arises. The place where you are going is no longer the place where you will be the only one who is excellent at what s/he does. High school is over and your University collected the best of the best, put them into a carefully selected class, and left them all there to figure life out on their own. So, what do you do when you end up in a group where everyone loves the subject you are studying as much as you do, everyone is good at it, and everyone is alone? Do you compete,…

I am grateful each day for everything that I have: for my neighbors who help me, for God that keeps me safe, and for all the love in my life that enables me to grow. I need nothing more."

    Yin and yang: the white milk to my black coffee

    September 3, 2019 / 3 Comments

    The fear of loosing you as suddenly as my hard drive, somewhere between our “good night” and “good morning”, between our desire and sharing of teenage-years trauma intensifies. I take a big cappuccino, hoping the foam will remind me that you drink your coffee three quarters with milk and that somehow magically you have the ability to add brightness to every darkness and soften up every bitter taste in the Universe.

    Summertime story telling

    August 25, 2019 / 3 Comments

    Summer has always been my most favorite season of the year. Even as these three months seemingly get shorter (because I am a responsible adult now duhhh) and hotter, one fragment of this season remains everlastingly sacred to me: visiting the sea. Ever since I was a kid, the salty water was the place where I managed to reach meditative-like serenity and to calm my overthinking mind and over-tensed body just by listening to the sound of the waves. The Earth would roar; I would listen. At this oasis of life, I would wait patiently for the sun to kiss the horizon and blend the sky with the most outstanding…
