The Morning Air
It’s early morning. Earlier than it needs to be. Coffee is preparing itself — a habit I carried over from my parents. The window is open. I sit in my chair, quietly talking with the woman I love. A breath in. Cold, clean alpine air brushes against me… and something inside shifts. That scent. I […]
The Importance of Priorities in Every Moment
It is morning. For me. Almost ten. I am going to work later today, so I allowed myself the small luxury of sleeping longer. An Alpine idyll. A warm apartment. Hot coffee. Snow-covered hills beyond the window. Everything is set correctly. Work. Love. Direction. And yet… this morning. It was her who woke me. For […]
Happy Angle
On the road. Today, the most important journey of my life begins. I am sitting in a restaurant at the train station. An ordinary one—old tables, cheap chairs, a service counter, and refrigerators, each different, as if added without any plan. Burgers, chicken nuggets, cola. We are used to higher comfort. Sometimes we would call […]
Pause
Sunday, calm. Behind me, the sound of a coffee machine preparing my coffee. In front of me, a phone with the image of the one who is most precious to me. She is trying to order something to eat and, while doing so, she gently swings her legs. Such an ordinary moment… so ordinary that […]
The Last Puzzle Piece
Positive music in my ears, the world has started moving this morning, messages from the one I love. Everything is as it should be. Happily, I prepare my morning coffee and think about the last few days. I think about the people close to me and their lives. I think about the situations that exist […]
Perfection – what is it?
At first glance, the desire of humankind since the beginning of time. Already Plato, one of my greatest role models, was almost obsessed with this phenomenon. In his time, perfection existed mainly in ideas. There was no way to create a perfect wheel, no perfectly symmetrical trees growing in the fields. The world was simply […]
The Hard Reward of Parents
Like most of us, I often wondered about life – about its meaning and direction. Since childhood, something deep inside me pulled me toward the idea of finding a life partner, of creating a family. The years passed, and the dream never came true. Why? You are never alone in a dream. There is a […]
Time
Time, hmmm… I once heard someone say: “Why should an invention like time control my life?” Interesting. At first, most of us would probably agree. But I’ve thought about this… hmmm… this dimension for a few hours. A few hours that proved to me how deeply important it really is. You might expect something about […]
The Question
I’m lying on the bed, and my thoughts are spinning. I replay the last day, maybe even older moments that changed something. One question remains, one I’ve heard more than once. Your question. “How can you be so sure?” It’s very simple. It only took putting thoughts in order—thoughts that, even in chaos, gave clear […]
Happiness… what is it, really?
Happiness… what is it, really? Is it the feeling when you buy your first car, when you finally graduate from university, or when a ladybug lands on your hand for the very first time? Which one of these is true happiness? You’re right… all of them. Happiness accompanies us throughout our entire lives. It’s so […]
Just Like Then
I sit on a wooden bench, the air tinted with yellow, my gaze slightly blurred. I sit, quietly observing, sensing, trying to understand, repeating every gesture. That scent, those hands covered with wrinkles, the marks of experience and the wisdom of this world. I feel safe, carefree, protected by those hands. The air shifts, my […]
Autumn Silence
I’m sitting in the kitchen, in a silence broken only now and then by the sound of a passing car. Complete peace. Today I’m not going to work, not chasing unfinished things. Today is here for me — for rest. I sip my coffee and watch through the window as the weather has changed and […]
The Path to the Heart
Deep night. Silence. Stillness. Eyes wide open, heartbeat racing, breath unsteady. Cold — immense cold — spreads through the body, from the outside in. A faint shift of balance, a sign of a storm about to break in my life. Overthinking? Perhaps. Please, let it be just that. Thoughts scatter, the heart pounds like it’s […]
Invisible Threads
Morning. I can barely see through my sleepy eyes. With the phone in my hand, I write down reflections left by the feelings of the previous day. At that moment, messages arrive from the other side of the world – from the place where my heart resides. But the news is not good. Illness is […]
Source of Happiness
Heat, anger, sweat, and shouting from every side. A furious evening, colleagues speaking in a foreign language, yet the topic is clear… but why such dissatisfaction? Don’t they have anything in life that could bring a smile to their faces even in this moment? Maybe they do, maybe they just don’t think about it in […]
A Moment Behind the Door
Exhausted and weary, I look at the last order. Just two more dishes… at last, the evening is calming down. An ordinary night begins. My voice is almost gone from giving directions, my body as dry as a desert. I step through the door from the kitchen into the restaurant with a single desire—to take […]
Beyond the First Impression
I sit in a place that feels both old and new at the same time. I drink coffee whose taste I know so well, and yet I have not felt it for a long time. Behind the bar of a hotel I once left with unease. Today I savor it and feel peace, as if […]
Words in Chains
I prepare for sleep, replaying the images of the day in my mind. A reflection is born within me. We humans, no matter how far we have drifted from animals in our evolution, no matter how refined our thinking has become, are still ruled by instinct — or perhaps better said, by the subconscious part […]
Like the Moon
I lie on my bed and look at a face that begins to mean more than anything else in this life to me. My chest is filled with a feeling so strong it could shine. The emptiness from before is already forgotten. It rises somewhere I have never been. It is like the moon – […]
For an ordinary life… and for love
Shortly before the morning shift. I sip my coffee, and in my ears the chimes of messages ring — from the one I want to give the rest of my life to. Smiles, hearts, ordinary words, and a video… a video in which I, maybe not entirely on purpose, caught a glimpse of life in […]
