A Bench With Own Secrets

Even though it was foggy and cold, I decided to take a walk with my kids because I just felt like they need some fresh air stay. Since I love photography I took some pictures and then all of a sudden a lawesome bench caught all my attention. I got obsessed with taking the pictures of it and started thinking, how many secrets it may hide. This place we visited was the historical place with a big memorial dedicated to the victims of the World War 2 and the fist thing, which was on my mind was: "Ho

Violin

Last night I watched a woman who was playing a violin. It was marvelous. I was so touched by her performance. It made me to write a few sentences down and I would like to share it with you. She told before learning how to play violin, she was so depressed. Nothing could cheer her up but violin. She played so well. As I was listening, I got the feeling that she put her soul in her music. It was her soul who talked through her music.  It made me thinking that we human beings mostly utter our feeli

Writing Prompt ~ Collocations with Do

I am doing my best to make her happy, but she doesn’t respond the way I do.  I do the work she leaves incomplete.  I do the laundry, I do the dishes, but I daily do the dishes, even if she is at home doing nothing.  I do write articles, research work, which she forwards with her name as she did all of them.  I’m good at hair dressing, so she always asks me to do her hair, which I do with pleasure.  What she does for me, she doesn’t do anything for me, oh, yes she doesn’t let me go loose, and she

Is Love an Addiction?

However, I have been thinking and thinking for a long time, many things popped up in my mind and the result of this process is a big chaos in my brain. Yes, these thoughts kind of killed my romantic, naive imagination of love and right now I would like to destroy your perception of romantic love by reading this blog :-D Am I mean? Not at all, just try to look at the things from my point of view for a while ;-)

Hi Ec friends,This may be an issue that you asked to yourself in any time.
