I sometimes wish I could download love. I even sometimes spell love in Google’s search box and the most stupid part of my brain awaits for the results as though something surprisingly loveful would pop out. It’s not much that I want – a torrent. And I’d play love whenever I want to: When I’m falling asleep I’d play it to quietly purr in my … Continue reading Downloading…

I’ve been dealing with panic/anxiety disorder and depression for about 10 years now. No, I am not depressed throughout the whole time, and I am most definitely not sweating my ass off over the everyday bullshit in my life. In fact, I live a perfectly satisfying, independent life in one of the most exciting cities in the world, I stand behind my professional and personal choices, enjoy … Continue reading Mental secrets
People sometimes say they are standing at crossroads. For some – there are no crossroads. There are no roads. Some are in the middle of an empty parking lot. Standing. Staring. Silent. They fully realise the significance of their choice – it is universally insignificant! Their reflection in the surrounding others: Some are smiling, knowing that is the first of many free steps. Others are … Continue reading Parking Lot-tery
I get goose bumps when I get to think of how much my life starts to resemble an American chick sitcom. I few days ago I practically fell in love with a guy who was sitting next to me on the plane. I was just comfortably sinking into my fluffy, pink fantasies of us telling the story of how we met to our grandchildren, when … Continue reading Sitcom Incorporated
I love travelling. Ever since I was a little freckled, big-eyed child and my family and I were visiting my grandparents. I loved staring through the window and into the windows of the houses we were passing by – my innocent voyeurism. My dad used to stop midway for a break and sweet treats. That, I would say, was the straight-forward conditioning that today makes … Continue reading (wo)Men on the move
How many Bulgarians does it take to screw a light bulb? Surprisingly to some – just one. Bulgarians aren’t actually as backward as some other nations appear to think. And how many Bulgarians does it take to flood the Island on 1st January 2014? Apparently, millions! Or at least that is according to the concerns of the British government. Suddenly it seems that popular press … Continue reading Bulgarians flood the Island? Seriously, Mr Editor?
Разговор подхванаха момчетата и избраха тема за врабчетата. – Врабчетата са като нас момчетат- игриви, диви и скокливи. До тях и младите девойки си говореха за птици, но за сойки. Ала някой ги прекъсна И от темата откъсна: – Ако нашите момчета, хванат няколко врабчета, много умни и разумни, та да могат да четат и до хиляда да броят… Тука Петя я прекъсна. – Чакай … Continue reading Зоопарк „Голяма гледка”
I’m thinking and re-thinking. And I miss the way you bored me; and I hate that you are probably so happy with another little Miss-So-Simple! And I am diving in oceans of Prozak, digging in our past for typos, ’cause I start forgetting what I wanted and why I’m thinking what I’m thinking. And I’m looking for the absolute of meanings, even though … Continue reading The way you bored me
