Why did it take me so long to see this? I don’t know. Maybe the years of fighting, worrying, pushing, and carrying too much blinded me. But I see it now: there is life outside of all these difficulties.There is life outside the overwhelming debts.There is life outside the stagnant career path.There is life outside … Continue reading Blind

Mistakes
Maybe... We are taught to dislike mistakes, because once we actually own our mistakes and consider that mistakes are a normal part of life, we are so... Free and unsatisfied with bland conversation. Am I making any sense? Of course. I own my mistakes, my life and strangely I feel strong .... Karin Sabrina
Window -weather
Today I remind myself: not all storms are meant to be entered. Some are only meant to be watched — like *gluggaveður*, beautiful and dramatic from the window, but harsh once you step outside.The office politics is that storm. Titles shuffled, projects hoarded, favors exchanged. I don’t have to play in it. I have my … Continue reading Window -weather

It’s in the little … Continue reading Authentic

But slowly, I began to see the truth in it.Every dream comes with its own guardians at the gate, those obstacles that test how much we … Continue reading Obstacle

So I like to have a good conversation with my husband ... But he doesn't always deliver. No.. it's an understatement, he rarely delivers! And this evening, out of the … Continue reading Conversation
Adapt
Life is pure comedy. Seriously... Life reminds you to be not too serious with anything at all. I found out that today, I, the holder of a master degree in linguistics, an avid reader, a diligent writer, a reflective person in general, today I am not only fluent in English but also in swearing!! 😂😂😂 … Continue reading Adapt
