Something for Sunday #6: Drive me to the moon

There are many milestones in every person’s life: starting to walk and to talk, to poop in the potty chair, starting first grade, graduating high school and college, getting the first job... Most of them are marked with big celebrations and remembered years after they occurred. (Except going potty for the first time, which is…

Something for Sunday #5: Covers, creativity and cool Davids

Ever since I started high school, I considered myself a rock music fan. I've always been a true nerd and an introvert, so I wasn't popular among cool alternative kids wearing Guns'n'Roses t-shirts, nor have I ever made out with a long-haired bass player, but my cassettes and CDs (#proudmillennial) have been filled with rock…

Unpopular Opinion: Why Runaway Bride Is Better than Pretty Woman

Source: Pinterest My mother and I have always been very close. I’ve always talked to her about my studies, my friends and also my love life. Still, just as every mother-daughter relationship, ours has always had its ups and downs. The one thing we've always had in common, though, which helped to keep us together…

Something for Sunday #4: Married feminist with children (wannabe)

The summer is here and I must agree with Samuel Jack – it definitely feels like it. While brainstorming on many possible topics to cover next, I remembered there’s a part of an old and ridiculously long post I still like better than its other parts.  So much that I’ve concluded it deserves to be…

Something for Sunday #3: Let me introvert you

When I was a little girl, my parents and I used to spend a couple of summer weeks on the coast. I remember that during those weeks I always managed to make new friends. I would often approach girls I'd see hanging out with their parents on the beach and I was never shy or…

Something for Sunday #2: To take your husband’s last name or not to take it, that is the question

I am a feminist. I declare it and emphasize it proudly and often – whenever anyone asks if I am one (which almost never happens) and every time a conversation takes a turn into women's choices and rights (which happens at least twice a month). When I think about when I officially started taking an…

Something for Sunday #1: Are you really a writer if you don’t write?

A couple of months ago I created a profile on OK Cupid after over a year of my deliberate dating break. I believe it was 348.957th time I created a profile on a dating site in my life. I chose OK Cupid for many reasons, the most important one being that it offers the possibility…

Advice to My Younger Self (Part II)

Source: Pinterest 5) You don’t have to lower your standards Whenever a single woman, of any age, but especially after 25, discusses her love life with a relative or acquaintance, and whenever she lets them know that, yes, she has tried dating but no, she hasn’t met anyone she would be interested in, she will…

Advice to My Younger Self (Part I)

Yes, I've broken yet another promise given to myself. Not only I haven't published a post by mid-February as I said I would, but the one I'm about to write is not at all about the topic I mentioned I would get into, but a completely different one. Still, I am here, at my desk,…

Let’s Go!

So, yes, I haven't published a post for over a year. That is a sad and a disappointing, yet an undeniable fact. I have, however, published a very long post in two parts last August, but I've decided to delete it, just as I did with another one of my older posts. The reason for…
