About first impressions that turned out to be misleading. And about why you shouldn't judge by the first line or photo.

About how often we feel a "spark" before the first word. What is it - intuition, experience, desire or magic?

Sometimes it seems to me that I was born at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and perhaps among the wrong people. When everyone around me is trying to be "like everyone else," I catch myself thinking that I don't know how to be "convenient." I don't know how to keep quiet when I want to talk. I don't know how to agree when I'm screaming protest inside. And yes, I was often told that I was "not like everyone else."

I did not ask fate for such a role. But it was given to me - a beautiful woman, with a brilliant past, expensive jewelry and an emptiness in her heart. My husband left suddenly... All that was left were memories, a mansion, bills, fur coats, a car and endless glances: "Well, I was lucky..."

When you're young and hot, you have no time to wait. You don't ask — you take. You're not shy — you provoke. You don't play at being modest — you play with desires.

Sometimes the world is too loud. The hustle and bustle, other people's voices, endless news, expectations, rhythms - and suddenly you want silence. That's when I pick up a pen and write poetry. This is my pause. My way of saying what you can't say in words in a conversation.

A new week is like a blank page. I wonder what the Universe will write for you? Let's take a look at the astro forecast!

No, really. Ask yourself right now: who is holding the helm?

There are things that cannot always be described in words. But a woman feels it. With her back, her skin, her heart. This special inner peace is when there is a man next to whom you are not afraid.

How many times have you caught this gaze?

Sound familiar? You: write, call, send emoticons, pies, tenderness and a soul in a bag. He/she: reads after 6 hours, replies after 6 days, and feels... after 6 lives.

Once I was told: - You think too much. I answered: - Yes, but it's still better than not thinking at all.

We women know how to love. So much so that the radiators are turned off due to overheating, flowers begin to grow on their own, and men have bouts of romantic panic. 🌹🔥

Sometimes I catch myself asking a question like: "But the moon shines from a new side every day, right?.." And in response - raised eyebrows, a slight twitching of the corners of the interlocutor's mouth and a silent phrase in the eyes: "Are you serious?" Yes. I am serious. Well... almost. 😏

If you've ever tried tender salmon on a bed of rice, deftly grabbed by a strip of nori, or a crispy roll with cucumber, cheese and shrimp — then this holiday is for you too. Sushi and Rolls Day is an unofficial but delicious reason to gather friends, treat yourself to delivery, or maybe even take a risk and cook these Japanese masterpieces yourself.

Whether we live in a high-rise building or a private house, in a big city or a village — we all have neighbors. Sometimes we exchange only polite "hello" with them in the elevator, sometimes we share evening tea parties in the kitchen, and sometimes we just know that "good people live behind the wall."

There is a drink that unites people all over the world. It is drunk in the morning, afternoon and evening. It warms you up in the cold, quenches your thirst in the heat, helps you concentrate and relax. And yes, it even has its own holiday - International Tea Day, which is celebrated annually on May 21!

The word "love" is one of the deepest and most universal concepts of humanity. But despite the universality of the experience of love itself, the meaning of this word varies greatly depending on language, culture and worldview. Let's take a journey around the world - and see how different peoples call and understand love.

The Škoda brand has long been associated with practicality, reliability and value for money. Ten years ago, many drivers in Ukraine, Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic called Škoda a "smart choice" - a little simpler in image than Volkswagen, but no worse in terms of "stuffing". And what about now? Has Škoda retained its quality in 2025?

There is something truly exciting in just packing a backpack, turning off the GPS and going where your heart takes you. Traveling without a plan is not crazy or irresponsible. It is the art of living in the moment, trusting the world and yourself. It is a way to experience life in all its unpredictable and beautiful fullness.
