Understanding ourselves and the world we live in.
Provided by ellieejay My first international class in Guatemala, followed by a semester in London, then a semester in Granada… and what do I have to say for myself? I’ve learned nothing. Contrary to popular belief and folktales told by previous students who have studied internationally, living abroad for 5 months does not make you... Continue Reading →
This is a topic vastly approached by our today’s society and whilst all of what it is saying is true, there is a slight different approach to that and I must say, it’s less selfish. Ok, we all know the phrases “we only have one life” and “we should put ourselves first so we... Continue Reading →
We know that practice makes everything better, but does that apply to writing as well? I mean, how does writing improve? Based on what? If I write the same crap over and over again that makes me better? Probably not. It will probably be easier to find the same words and phrases, but if I... Continue Reading →
This is a veeeery tricky and important question for me. I don’t even know if I should ask it. So what is blogging? A blog is a site, but what does this verb refer to? Is it about writing? Is it about reading? Is it about both and many more? Is the purpose of it... Continue Reading →
Does it ever happened to you to feel an impulse to write, even though the moments are not so appropriate? And even stranger, when you want to write, the words won’t come? It very often happens to me to just wander around and all of a sudden BOOM! Writing idea! And then I pounder on... Continue Reading →
Terry Pratchett said that there is no such thing as writer’s block. If so, how should we define the moments when it seems that our bucket of ideas is empty? How do we put words where it seems to be nothing but darkness? And moreover, how we decide which words to use when no words... Continue Reading →

Drawing by Adrian Serghie How often do you write? If it’s not daily, you might need to reconsider this. I’m not necessarily talking about blogging, but more about writing in general. Maybe you think you don’t have enough time for it or maybe you think it’s not helpful and it’s just a waste of time,... Continue Reading →
Tell The Truth To Yourself, Not To Me (The image tells us that he’s a developer. But let’s assume he’s a writer.) I’m going to ask you this one question: Is writing authentically your passion? Understanding passion Long ago, I was in doubt. Is writing actually my dream? Is it what I genuinely love and relish... Continue Reading →
But I Forget That… Writing is a part of the writing job. Checking notifications isn’t. (Or is it?) It could be. ‘Cause it feels that way. When I check notifications and emails, it feels as if I’m doing some important work. Every time turn this device on and log in to Medium, my eyes get fixed... Continue Reading →
This is the form of therapy that we benefit the most, as bloggers. If we think about it, that’s why the writers write. They want to express what’s inside them and this eases their inner universe. The ideas or the pain get out and once the separation happened, the writers feel relieved. A... Continue Reading →
And I Got Committed For At Least 5 Minutes Today, I actually saw myself standing on a podium, lecturing people. About what? I don’t know. It was a daydream, to be honest. But there is some stuff that I took seriously. I Want To Give The World The Best Of Me Nothing less than that. That’s why... Continue Reading →
One of my most interested fields in psychology is that of dating and understanding how to find and interact with our romantic partner. There is no doubt that if you are in a relationship or married, that you haven't been through some sort of emotional or mental rollercoaster with your partner. That's just part of...

And I’m Not Going To Run Out Of Ideas When I started writing (for real), the only thing that used to terrify me was the writer’s block. But anyways, I started. I had to. Whenever I used to fear writer’s block, I would console myself by telling, “We have a lot of mistakes on our side.... Continue Reading →
“man standing on sand while spreading arms beside calm body of water” by Kal Loftus on Unsplash Oh wait, you already saw it… I don’t know what I’m going to write today! I just wished to write something different. I was bored of do-this-do-that stuff.Even my homepage is full of stories I don’t want to read. Right... Continue Reading →
But First, Find Your Keys The only thing that we’re lacking, is a hard kick on our butts. It gets us started. No matter how hard the task is, the strength to handle it comes from facing it on-the-spot. But how is a face-off possible when we aren’t even showing our faces to the problem... Continue Reading →
That’s you! Before I could start to write, I and my mother had a little bit of argument. When it ended, I felt a bit discontented and not ready to write. I knew what was missing. I went outside and apologized to her for my mistake. (Please don’t ask what! 🤐) We had a healthy... Continue Reading →
Finally Today I was going through the Medium profiles and articles by famous writers. And I could see how their articles had spread like wildfire. They had great content that brought them immense attention and acknowledgment overnight. And now they are telling people how to increase their Medium viewership and stuff. Even I want that...

You lose your aims as fast as you make them I’ve seen many publications where they specify their writing goals and aims. The criteria for the articles they’ll be accepting and other stuff. But as pubs grow older, they stop bothering on what you’re submitting. (Good news for us! Trash em’ up!) The guidelines and criteria... Continue Reading →
“Well, to assure the security of your property sir, you must sign here in this stupid little box. But, after you read the terms and conditions inscribed in the tiniest font so that no one dares to read it.” We immediately sign it to safeguard our property from any sort of damage and mishap.
