A girl who Wanders
Some people are just not meant to have a home. Some people are their own home. I am one of those people. I’ve always talked how tough it is for me to answer one simple question: where are you from? Yes, technically I’m from Poland but to say it’s my “home” or even “home country” just doesn’t feel right. I’m Polish, I was born and raised there, and since I can remember, I wanted to live somewhere else. I begged my parents to send me to boarding schools and looked for student exchange programs to leave the country since I was probably 10 years old. So no, Poland is not a home. It’s a place where I was born and forced to live while being constantly bullied and judged by its people.

5 things I've learned from opening my small business
Tuesday morning, 10:45 AM, I just walked and fed the dogs, a new audiobook playing in the background, and a bowl of cereal sitting on my desk beside a cup of tea. I’m totally judging myself for starting my workday at almost 11 AM but with my crazy late-night schedule lately, I’m proud of myself for starting it at all.

Life After Death
It seems like many people think they know me. They see this extroverted crazy girl, so full of life, and think “She made it, she survived the unthinkable”. And maybe they’re right. Maybe I’m brave and amazing not just for surviving but also for thriving after my husband died at the age of twenty-seven. Or maybe… I’m just really good at pretending. So good that sometimes I can’t tell what’s real and what’s not. But the truth is, there are many days when all I want to do is to crawl into my bed and never come out.
