Advice from the first person

We often think that traditions are something that has been created long before us. Something that is worth preserving. And so it is true. But another truth is that we also have the right to create our own traditions. Maybe your family didn’t bake Easter cakes, dance round dances or embroider shirts. But you can start with something else: Sunday breakfasts when the phone is not on the table. Tea on the balcony, even if it is raining. The song that you play every year on the day of acquaintance.

Sometimes it seems to me that I live in a circle. Morning, work, shopping, dinner, a little self-care - and then sleep again. The weekend flies by, and everything starts all over again. I'm not complaining, I'm just sharing. This is a common female fatigue, when you feel like a squeezed lemon both physically and mentally, but you keep going.

They say that women's intuition is the sixth sense. I have seen this more than once. There are moments when the mind says one thing, but the heart feels something completely different. And more often than not, it is the heart that is right.

True closeness is action. Daily choices. About people who stay, even when it's easier to leave. Not losing each other is not about grand gestures. It's about little things that we often don't notice. It's about not being silent when something hurts. It's about a message in the middle of the day, how are you? About not giving up at the moment when everything inside says enough.

In a world where messages are read for hours and dates resemble negotiations, being a romantic is almost a form of rebellion. In the era of quick swipes, temporary connections and "let's go without obligations", it's hard to stay true to your deep convictions: that love is something real, deep, inspiring. If you're the type of person who writes letters instead of likes, waiting for real intimacy, not just attention for the night, then this blog is for you.

In today's world, dating has gone far beyond parks, cafes, or parties. Dating sites and apps have become an everyday tool for finding love, flirting, or just socializing. But why do people go there? What are their expectations? And most importantly, how to be successful in this game?

My ideal first date? It's definitely not a noisy cafe in the city center or awkward conversations over coffee. It's the sea. The sound of the waves, the salty wind, bare feet on the warm sand... And we're somewhere between the sky and the water. In my dream, it all starts in the evening.

Online dating has long been the norm. But despite the ease of swiping, finding mutual sympathy and a real connection is still a challenge. So how do you like each other not only on the profile, but also during communication? Here are some honest and effective tips.

The phrase “I’m just direct” sounds like honesty 💬. But in reality, it’s more often a protective shield 🛡, behind which it’s convenient to hide laziness 😴 and unwillingness to work on yourself. Directness in itself is wonderful 🌟. It’s the courage to tell the truth, the ability to not prevaricate. But when this word hides rudeness 😠, aggression 💢 and unwillingness to think about how your words affect others — it’s no longer directness, it’s a lack of respect.

A man who doesn't know where his spoon 🥄 is makes me feel wary 😏. Because there's always more hidden behind that little thing. It means he either never opens his own cupboards 🚪 or he's so used to having someone else do everything for him that he's forgotten what his kitchen looks like 🍳

This is what it looks like from the inside. Men are often surprised: "Why can't she just order the same thing?" And I'll tell you - changing the order in a cafe is not a whim, but pure drive ⚡🔥

He asked me what to get 🎁. And I said, "At least a good impression 😉." Not perfume that will wear off in a week 🌬️. Not a bag that will end up in a closet tomorrow 👜. And not even jewelry that will quickly become just an adornment among others. A good impression is something that doesn't gather dust, doesn't become outdated, and doesn't depreciate ⚡

There are things that speak louder about a man 🔥. One of them is how he chooses a gift. And yes, flowers are also an indicator. Dahlias from a nearby store 🏪 look like you remembered me at the last moment ⏳, on the way to buy bread 🥖. This is not a compliment, but almost an insult 💔.

Many people think that this is just an excuse. That I'm shy or don't like myself in photos. It's funny. This is not about that at all 😉

I thought for a long time whether to share this story. Because it is hard to believe, even for me and I was a participant in it. But sometimes there are things that just need to be told, especially to someone who can understand… or at least try.😔

Today I want to tell you frankly about my most difficult and important process, how I learn to accept myself. Not perfect, not perfect, but real.
