Easter holidays 2025

  This Easter I had so much fun with my little boy. We have a tradition in my country to paint boiled eggs in different colors. I don’t go into the religious aspect, I like to focus on the fun part. So we paint them in whatever color we want (just the first one should be red), we can draw them, put stickers and so on. I enjoy it very much. My son is old enough to help me paint the eggs this year and I bought different paints and stickers. He was so excited, smiling and wanting to participate in everything. I thought he will make a huge mess and I have to clean like crazy after that, but he was very gentle and careful. The tradition says we can paint them on Thursday or Saturday. My boy and I did it on Thursday and on Saturday; he went to paint eggs with his grandmother at her home. On the next day – Sunday we smash the eggs - it is like a competition. It is a “fight” between the members of the family. Each of us choses an egg and we go against each other, smashing tops and tails of...

Reading – one of my true loves

Books,reading,love,writer,fantasy,novel


As a child, I did not enjoy reading. All I wanted to do was to stay outside with friends, playing games. I never slept in the afternoon but if somebody made me read after two pages I was asleep, another reason why I did not enjoy it. I hated to sleep, I did not see any point in it just a waste of time.

However, when I was around 15 years old and I started my first job at a pet store, I felt bored from time to time. I asked my mother (she loves reading) to give me a book, something romantic and interesting. I am very romantic! She was surprised and gave me one, of course, I do not remember the name and I started to read it when there were no clients at the store.

I felt in love with it. I finished it very quickly and asked for another one. This is how it all started. At first, I was reading her type of literature – criminal, romantic, mystery. When I was 17 years old, I switched to books that open your mind, teaching you how to cope with life and how to get what you wanted.

Now I read whatever I feel like - I used to read only psychology books, now I am in love with fantasy. I love the smell of books, I like to hold them, hug them, they make me so happy! Despite that I love buying books and putting them on my shelf, I decided to buy an e-reader due to lack of space. At first, I hated the idea, but now I enjoy it.

Right now, I am reading Sarah J. Maas’ books and I am over the moon. I love the way she describes the worlds, the emotions and how she makes me believe in every character’s story. Since January I have read 8 books, and I am in the middle of the 9th. I wish I could spend all day and night just reading!

The characters in these fantasy books make me think about myself. I am not sure how it has influenced me, but I somehow compare the difficulties and hard times in my life with theirs. It is ridiculous, I know; I have not been in a dungeon and tortured, however, I have felt lonely, sad and did not want to do anything in my life, my heart has been broken, and I always had the feeling that I am not enough. These days I see the difference in me focusing on my positive features, accepting, and loving how I am.
