I adore taking subway!
I know it might seem ridiculous, knowing how many problems the parisian subway has, which is constantly annoying its passengers but still...
What I like about it so much? The people actually... And all the stories you can imagine about them, their lives , where they are going, what they might be thinking...
You see a young kissing couple and you're telling yourself - wow! so young! so happy! so crazy! forgetting about the outside world!
You see an old couple discussing the piece of theatre they have just seen and you're telling yourself - how nice it would be to get to that moment of life one day when you are enjoying so much spending time with your second half, no matter the age we have...
On Sunday evenings you can see very often people with luggage, coming back from their short or long weekends, probably bringing back some good memories, or maybe the bad ones as well, just very well hidden inside...
Thousands, millions of people every day... Thousands of ideas and life stories every day... Millions of dreams and thoughts... Mine included as well... Cause I am also part of this subway melting pot... And I'm happy to be! :)

Some things remain unchanged
You can have ups and downs, you can be laughing out loud one day and crying like a hell the next one, you can be smiling to the sun at noon to dance in the rain at 4pm, you can have a partner at the moment or not... But there are still things which will remain always with you: your family and your friends, the true ones...
Family...
You are born, you grow up, you leave home, for good, but your parents are always watching you, from close or from far, caring about you and loving you with their unconditional love.
Unconditional and endless love... I've been always asking myself how it is possible to love somebody so much, no matter what... Will such love come to take me away the day I will meet the man of my life, or will I have to wait until I give birth to a baby and become a parent myself ? How long will I still have to wait to understand this love that my parents are giving me every day...
Friends...
The true and only... The ones you meet, you get to know better and better every day, the ones you enjoy spending your time with until the day you actually realize you cannot live without them anymore.
I must say I've been lucky with the people I met in my life. Maybe not all of them remained my friends, but those who wanted - they did.
With my best friend we've known each other since primary school, will be like almost 20 years soon. Gosh! the time flies so quickly... We've been through good and bad moments, sometimes not speaking to each other for some time, but in the end we always knew we want to stay friends and forgive each other. We are now living in different countries, living different lives, having different dreams, but if by any chance we come to our hometown Zagan in the same time - we always make sure to meet at least for a coffee.
The most fruitful period was at university, especially since I joined AIESEC. Good old times... and good old friends with whom we worked a lot till late hours, but then we knew how to party as well, having in mind the sacred phrase: "work hard, play harder!". I sometimes wish I lived closer to Poznan to be able to drop by and see my AIESEC mates and spend some time like we used to, constantly learning from each other and cherishing every moment spent together.
Now in Paris I have my few precious friends whom I know I can count on, no matter what... Who are always there for me and I'm always there for them... Whether to laugh or to cry, to work or to have fun :) Thank you guys! Your friendship is giving me strength every day and for sure my life would not be the same without you...

Woman in the Mirror
"I'm starting with me..."
Simple but true...
Cannot deny that I like this MJ's song a lot, I remember it since the good old AIESEC times, when I saw a presentation with it in the background and it "caught my ears"...
This simple song made me understand one big thing: if I want the people around me, my family and friends, my colleagues at work, to be happy and enjoying the time spent with me, first of all I need to make sure that I am happy with myself, that the source of my happiness is not dry, but is still watering every day of my life, bringing positive attitudes and thoughts...

Why Dreams?
One day I woke up and realized that at that particular moment I didn't have any dreams, any big target which I would like to reach. I felt empty, with no will to move on...
That day I realized Dreams are the sense of my life, they give me strength, motivation and are a great kick-off to start something new... If They are not there, I am asking myself questions: what am I actually doing here in this world, what is the purpose of my life, what is my role here, what big things are still waiting there somewhere for me to achieve them...
That is probably why whenever I feel bad and a bit lost, I try to "refresh" my own list of dreams, my list of elements of a new and fresh self-construction... Last time I did it was last Thursday, and I was positively surprised with how my Dreams have developed with the time passing by, how they have changed their face and nature...
There was one Dream I noted down just before going to sleep.... I liked it the most actually... Which one was it? I cannot tell you - otherwise it will not come true...

Why Now?
Actually I've been thinking of creating a blog a few times before already. However, the plan has never come true until now...
On 6th November, exactly 2 months before my 26 birthday, and after so many important things having happened in my life recently, which brought a lot of thoughts and reflections, I decided to free my mind and share those thoughts which are actually the fruits of my whole life...
