We all love the Cinderella story. We are all for the justice. The poor, innocent and good girl should be the one to marry the prince. She should be rewarded for her hours of daydreaming and wishing for a better future. Forget about your misery of separating seeds and cleaning chimneys! The castle can turn into a mansion, the horse into a limo,...
Circumstances force you to perform actions which you would normally never have thought about plunging into. Sometimes, due to financial difficulties or personal situation, you join a venture, which is below your expectations or out of your comfort zone. You can be a woman trying to save a relationship, an actor short of roles, a writer trying to deal with past traumas. For...
What a tragical thing is to be married without love. Just look at the rates of divorce. A nice house, financial security, the father for your children or the right guy accepted by your family and friends won't guarantee passion, love, and happiness. If you're kept in a cage, you will try to flee at all cost, not paying attention to people's opinion...
Don't you wish you had a magical ability to turn back in time every time you fuck up? If you look at your life, you can definitely pinpoint moments that forced you to make decisions not particularly profitable to your life.

It's difficult enough to be a scientist. To devote endless hours for research, skip your favorite talk show, chose less profitable future. It's challenging to devote your life to books and experiments, while tangible results are uncertain. It's painful to put in extra hours for studying, while your friends are having fun or developing their love life. It's brave to offer your life...
What did you have for dinner? Honestly, was it a healthy low-fat home-cooked meal with adequate proportions of vegetables or was it a fast food treat consumed conveniently in the closest fast food restaurant? The latter is so popular and tasty that it's difficult sometimes to make a different choice. But, since you are what you eat, shouldn't you better analyze what will...
What happens in the mind of a serial killer? Why people have the urge to deprive others of their precious everything, blaming unhappy childhood and personal problems for their hostile revenge? Why some murder for the sake of pleasure and have no empathy for suffering and pain? Why some forms of mental diseases trigger aggressive behaviors, and why those in the majority who...
Don't you wish, after a hard year of work, for some rest and relaxation? Don't you want to forget about exams, stressful days at the mercy of demanding bosses? Don't you crave free time, fun and suntan? Every holiday is different, as every person needs a different type of rest. For some, it's a luxury hotel and crazy sexual adventures, for others it's...
There are connotations to every name. Sometimes your personal feelings allow you to hate or respect a particular name, taking into account your relationship with your family. At times it's something which makes you ashamed or, by a simple game of words, turns you into a laughing stock at school and later on at work. But one name definitely stands out. Hitler. There...
Love and friendship are feelings which reach far beyond the lustful cravings of the body and misleading infatuation with fleeting appearance. Love is stronger than death, true love ignores poverty, disease, and disability. You can fall in love with a voice, a touch, a whisper. You can fall in love with the ones whom you don't see at all. Is being invisible an...
Civilization is an artificial concept which makes everything run clockwork. We sleep on a bed, having for centuries slept on the floor of sticks and grass. We eat portioned and available food, having been used to hunting and gathering for millennia. We switched caves for flats, fires for central heating, furs for nylon and synthetic materials. We turned work at the farm into...
Appearances lead us to wrong conclusions. Sometimes the stubbornness, meanness and rudeness are just a cover for a broken soul.
