Father into your hands, I commend my spirit… It was a shock to all of us, the loss of Chadwick Boseman to colon cancer. He played various biographical roles but we all knew him and kept him close to our hearts as the King of Wakanda, “Black Panther”. He may be gone...
Based on real life
Saturday summer mornings back at home with a big bowl of cereal on the couch. The TV is already on and our favourite cartoon channel is playing. It’s a classic image of how our generation spent the early mornings of our childhood. Tons of characters entertained us,...
Redefining ”New Year’s Resolutions”
It’s New Year’s Day. You are listening to carols with your family, there is an over-decorated Christmas tree in the corner and a bountiful meal in the table. While you are having a mouthful of pie in your mouth, a thought pops into your mind to disturb this abundance...
Once upon our time
What is it about memory that just lures us into its realms and we don’t really want to go back to reality? Is it past experiences? Is it good times with friends and lovers who made our lives better? Is it perhaps passed greatness, better than our state right now at...
Emo, Ergo, Sum
I have tons of other subjects I’d like to talk to you about but my mind has been consumed with thoughts about the modern world we live in. Are globalization and consumerism a natural evolutionary stage of humanity? Are we destined to acquire more and more in order to...
A wave of female inspiration
Some of our days can feel chaotic trying to balance work, social life, free time, etc. (at least mine do). Don't get overwhelmed though, instead, the little secret is to sit back and think of positive and inspiring moments or people in your life! Here are my favourite...
The Bane of the Book
Since the time books were introduced in the western world by Gutenberg in 1455 they were challenged for their content. The first-ever printed book was The Bible and while we cannot account for the publisher’s taste, it was censored for its "religious viewpoint". We’re...
Through the tunnel
It is only reasonable that the first thing that crosses a person’s mind when they hear the expression “tunnel vision” is tunnels. I am pretty confident that many of you have driven through the Ionian Way, so please stick with me for this example; There is a big tunnel...
Turn off the lights, the movie is about to start
I know what the quarantine did. We binge-watched everything on the internet, on Netflix... you name it. And now we are wondering about what's left to watch. I got you! My inner film fanatic is having a party right now... Seven different film categories for every mood...
Who’s on the naughty list?
As one of my favourite holidays approaches, I’ve started my preparations. The Christmas tree is decorated and shining, my kitchen smells like heaven (and an easy gain of 3kgs) and the city is chilly with a slight smell of burning wood. You see it in the streets, at...
A shift of perspective
Let’s face some facts. 2020 has been a highly strange year -I’d say terrible but let’s not be extreme-. A global pandemic that is still tormenting us, natural phenomena that caused chaos, etc. From my point of view, I remember myself in December 2019 looking forward...
Do you have SAD?
This is actually a legit question. SAD isn’t just a state of being but an actual type of depression based on changes of seasons. The initials stand for Seasonal Affective Disorder. We are usually talking poetically about the arrival of fall and winter but more than 5%...
Marvel-ous
