Small steps

We wish something would happen instantly, but that happens very rarely. Usually we have to pursue what we want, waiting or just simply not doing anything can’t bring us closer to what we wish.

Not organized

I’ve tried many times to organize my life, but I’ve failed miserably.

Time hole

Before I was going back home I was a bit afraid that I will jump in a shinkansen and won’t be able to stop and breathe for a while. Then I thought again and said to myself that I am doing my schedule and I can sort it out. Well, I guess I was a bit wrong.

Reverse culture shock

When studying  abroad or moving to work in a different country, everyone talks about culture shock. They are aware that they should expect new lifestyle, because they will see and adopt new habits they’ve never dreamed of. But people do it for some experience, they are excited, so it is easier to accept things. However people don’t realize that there is a phenomenon called reverse culture shock as well.

100%

I’ve never seen myself as a hard worker; I’d say I’m more of a lazy person who likes to be comfortable. Recently I notice that I might’ve been wrong.

Shrinking world, growing empathy

I guess this all started in elementary school where I met foreigners for the first time in my life. Americans, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and many others.

Who is Zaori... Who am I?

Despite the fact that probably all of you who are reading my blog are my friends, I decided to do a self-centered blog post about myself.

New habits

This year I am trying to change many things for myself. It includes creating new habits, just now I realize how tricky it is...

Duality

I can’t help but noticing duality everywhere. Usually people want you to decide for one thing or another, but for me... It seems that these lines are disappearing gradually. World is made to confuse us. Or are we made to confuse the world?

Writing...

... was always my passion. I realized it after having written about 200 posts on my czech blog.

Art of Living

Recently I've been thinking about my days, my feelings and about the things I do. Not to forget - about the things I want to do and end up never doing them.

I should have...

I am quite sure that everyone had this thought at least once in their lives. Me too, of course.

Walks

Ever since I moved to Wivenhoe, I started to walk to work. It takes about 30 minutes when I walk fast. Every time I mention it to someone, they pity me that I have to walk so much. Truth is that these walks are probably the best moment of my day.

Conscious or unconscious?

Lately I’ve been thinking if I am living or just being. Days were passing by without me noticing that or what actually happened. I have to say, that I didn’t fancy the past few days when I felt kind of trapped in a not really amusing way of life. Worst thing is that you start doing things so automatically that you don’t even recall making them. I think this image is really scary for me.

Agree to disagree

I guess it must be sometimes difficult to discuss something with me, because I am having a discussion within myself at the same time. How is it possible, you ask?

Out of blue

I guess it is not coincidence that all my things are becoming blue. That would be too much coincidence, because whether I buy them or get them from someone else... They are blue.

Issue of an... artist?

I am interested in drawing, music, writing; thus terms like artist, musician and writer come up. A couple of last years I have been thinking over and over about these titles and I was struggling, because these titles concerned me as well. As a critical being – especially of myself, I am quite dubious about my own skills. After a talk with my dear friend, I realized that I am not the only one. So I started thinking once again – what is the real meaning of these words and aren’t we overestimating them?
