Pljeskavica time

After a long time without going out, I have finally seen Timisoara again. How we were discussing going to eat pljeskavica, with my friends Katsia and Arus, for a long time, that day finally came.
I was wondering why Katsia is so amazed by this pljeskavica, how she was eating even before, and this recommendation came from her. The thing is that in the country I’m from, Serbia, pljeskavica is very important part of every day cuisine. My doubt was how this one in Romania will be like. We were impatiently waiting for our meal to come.
And when it arrived, the happiness could be visible.

Katsia was indeed right! It was worth going!

Waiting for things to get better

1. been drinking a lot of iced vanilla lattes lately

2. I haven’t been feeling very motivated to work lately. I need to work on it

3. I need a change of environment so badly. but the pandemic is still bad so I might be stuck here for awhile longer

4. I can’t control what happens but I can control how I react. I’ll suck it up and try to focus on work as much as I can until the situation gets better. then I will leave and catch a break

5. I have a good feeling about the second half of 2020. I think things will be better

I am Power

Nothing is possible in life…
Even we think in this way…
I was planned to have a workshop in my Youth Center. This was the first time, that I should have,
it was so exciting but at the same time, I was so confused. Why I was excited because I was
going to meet new people, to have new communication with the community, to get new
experience in facilitating. And at the same time, I was confused, because this was my first
organized activity in this country, city and I didn’t know how to call people, bring them to the
youth center and because of this, I had a fear that I won’t have even one participant.
Somehow I was right, and somehow I was wrong. Because I didn’t have a lot of participants, but
at least I had one participant, who was such a good, communicative and smart person. I didn’t
my session with her, which was about sustainable development goals.I did some nice and
helpful activities for her, she gets new information, and from both sides, we enjoyed the
workshop.
This was not only something for me that I could get a piece of knowledge and experience, but also this
was a challenge on how to solve the problem, how to control my emotions even it looks impossible.
Now I am looking forward to future plans and new achievements.

Moment

I had an impulse moment yesterday to write on my laptop. and I did it.

the permanent marker was sitting right in front of me when I was using my laptop. the urge to want to write something on it was strong.

so I wrote down the first quote that came to my mind.

it is also a quote I hold onto dearly as a reminder to myself.

growing up, I was never handed anything. whatever I wanted, I had to create it for myself.

that wired me into this person – where I always felt like if I don’t do something I wanted, no one else would do it for me.

on one hand, I’m terrible at relying on other people. which is one thing I’m trying to work on.

on the other hand, I personally feel responsible for anything that happens in my life. having this mindset motivated me to do a lot of things myself. because if not me, then who?

I still have a long long way to go. and it is up to me to create whatever I want to happen in my future.

so I wrote down this reminder on my laptop.

Inspire me

I don’t remember how I came up with the name. but it was something I needed at that time. and “inspire me” became my blog title.

it’s funny how here we are, over a decade later. and I can still resonate with something I wrote when I was 14.

inspire me.

this is something I still need a lot. funnily enough, I think the older I get, the more I crave for it.

I want to feel inspired. I want to meet people who are doing more. I want to do more. I want to be more.

I will always be thankful to the people who inspired me to be more at a time where I didn’t know it was possible for me to amount to anything significant.

inspiration for me comes from a lot of places. people around me. my environment. the content I consume. strangers on the internet.

I think deep down we all know that we are capable of more. but we don’t always believe it.

and I think this is where being inspired will bring you the magic you need in your life.
