Sometimes in the noise of the days and the quiet evenings I catch myself thinking one simple but profound thought: I want to feel like a loved woman

When I say that I am 54 and a grandmother, people usually react like this: "Oh, where's the knitting? And why do you have bright nails?" And I answer them: "Because life goes on! And so does manicure!"

A little about life, dreams, and how I see true, warm feelings. Simple, sincere, and from the heart. 💛🩷

You know what I realized? I don't want a relationship "for a while", "for now it's convenient", "until I meet someone better"

I love to live... Not just to exist — but to live every moment, every breath of air, every look that passes through my body.

We live in an era of individualism. We are taught to be independent, self-sufficient, strong alone

Saying "no" is an act of self-respect. Yet for many of us, it’s incredibly difficult. We fear being judged, rejected, or seen as unkind. So we say "yes" to things we don’t want to do, to people who drain us, to commitments that leave us overwhelmed.

Sometimes I just put on my favorite underwear… even if no one will see it. I put on perfume without leaving the house. I turn on music and dance in front of the mirror, as if someone special is looking at me. And you know why?

When was the last time you spent an entire day without looking at a screen? No phone, no computer, no TV? For many of us, it’s hard to even remember. We are more connected than ever, yet often feel more anxious, distracted, and disconnected from ourselves.

We often convince ourselves not to try new things by hiding behind fear disguised as logic. "What if I fail?" we ask. "What if I’m not good enough?" But here’s a better question: what if it changes your life?

We all experience days when our minds feel blank and our motivation disappears. It’s as if the creative spark has vanished, and everything we try to do feels forced or lifeless. But the truth is, inspiration isn’t always a sudden flash of genius. Often, it’s something we must actively seek and nurture.

Sometimes the moment comes when pair becomes somehow quiet. There is no longer the previous trepidation before the meeting, the conversations come down to everyday life, and the joint evening resembles the usual ritual. This sensation is called boredom - and it scares. It seems that the relationship has come to an end, and the only thing that remains is to admit it. But boredom does not always mean that love has gone. Most often, this is just a new stage that requires attention and a little effort.

The cities are growing, the streets are full of people, the cafes are clogged, and the tapes of social networks are full of stories about meetings, dates and new relationships. It would seem that it is easy to find proximity in such a stream of communication. But more and more often there is silence behind the outer noise.

Everyone who at least once began correspondence with a new person on a dating site knows this feeling: sometimes from the first messages strange lightness, trust and a feeling that you have known have long been familiar with. But it happens the other way around-everything seems to be polite, correct, but something inside does not respond. Where does this "instinct" come from?

Sometimes one letter is enough for something to tremble inside. It would seem that just a text on the screen, several paragraphs, a couple of phrases - but there is a response. Words fall into the heart, cause a smile, arouse interest. Why is this happening?

There is something wonderfully calming about the sound of rain. This morning it started to rain quietly and steadily. No thunder, no wind, just soft drops trickling down the glass. I made some tea, wrapped myself in a blanket and just listened.

from a psychologist looking for a sincere relationship

This year, April in Ukraine was not at all like spring. I don’t even know how to explain it - it’s as if nature was angry. It seemed like the flowers were already reaching for the sun, the bees were starting to wake up, and the farmers were going out into the fields with hope. And suddenly... frost. Real, strong, like in February. ❄️

Usually everyone writes about some ideal, forms criteria in their heads and dreams that there will be a person who meets them. But, we are not created ideal and it is worth loving not only the advantages of a person, but also the disadvantages.

There is one sign in Ukraine that almost everyone believes in. Without exceptions. Even those who laugh at "superstitions" still follow it. Just... just in case.
