life is a lot
somebody once told me that we should work to live. and not live to work. sounds great, i thought, meanwhile i was looking for 2 identical socks getting ready to work. but in which part of the world? it’s pretty condescending. like when somebody tells you ‘money is not everything’. of course it’s not. until…

desexing ourselves
are you going to desex your dog?, D. asked me once. apparently it’s pretty common. and maybe that’s why dogs are different here. they don’t bark. there’s no dramas in the park. they even smile. did some research. 80% of dogs here are desex. by cutting the testosterone, you remove all the things that are…

am i the same girl?
you wake up in the morning. coffee, journal, planks. walking the dog in the park. being late to your 9.30 am. one day after another. and somehow, suddenly you realise your life has had drastic change. it was a random Saturday and i was still in bed when L. called me. ‘let’s go to Japan’,…

growing pains
A. called me. ‘my grandpa passed away. he was 98.’ we went to the beach and walk 10 km to vent the pain. ‘i like my life in Melbourne. but i should be in the UK to say goodbye to him. i knew we are far away of everything, but today i realised how isolated…

lost in the 3.0 madness
‘omg, S. you are so popular’ – a girl told me when she saw the instagram stories replies popping-up in my mobile. i am not popular. it’s just my friends showing their love. to make sure i know i am always being taken care of. made me think about all this superficial stuff we are…

too much biology, not enough biography
‘i just feel my life started here’, F. said a sunday afternoon in collingowood yards, with a blue margarita in her hand. we are getting close to our middle life. and we might realise we haven’t had a proper life. one week later i came to Europe for the holiday break. felt like i never…

get a life
i haven’t done a lot of big corporate events. Sometimes you just know that you are going through a lot. and might not be the best idea to mix it alcohol with people from work. but xmas party is the important one and you better show yourself up. i arrived one hour late. went for…

giving up control
never been a control freak. and i tolerate very badly control and process driven freaks. or methodic people, like germans. but growing up, you have to be more conscious about your acts. you lose spontaneity. i guess there is also the point about what society expects about you. as a woman of 37 years old.…

sometimes i freeze people
just for the record, witchcraft scares me. and i am not a sociopath or similar. but we all had at one moment in life, that person that was making us feel bad. ‘i don’t know what to do with him’, i said to D. i was expecting her to get rid of him, somehow. ‘freeze…

moeuf taree
the last 2 weeks I made it to the office before 8. I don’t know who I am anymore. however, becoming a 5 am morning person has consequences. It was 9 am and I was asking for my long black coffee and scrambles eggs with cheese, and crossed one of the three friends I have…
