Black Friday and Holiday Frenzies!

I cannot even be bothered with any sort of end of year holidays madness... I never was, and I don't think I ever will be. I will probably just celebrate being alive over a glass of wine, and that's that. See y'all next year!

And everything came crashing down...

Losing people hurts... it hurts deeply, it saddens and makes one lose interest in living... lose interest in the simplest joys of life... it changes one... no matter how hard one tries to overcome the situation, the impact may not show instantly... but it will come sooner or later, in any shape or form... it will hit you on a scale from 1 to 1000 on a Richter scale... you'd better get ready for it and there is nowhere to hide from it.

However, the show must go on. As long as we are living we might as well be alive, feel alive... what's the difference you might ask? Living is not just about having a heartbeat, eating and breathing... one needs to feel alive, to enjoy life. To look forward to waking up the next day knowing that there is something exciting that might or will happen!

Do you have something to look forward to tomorrow? How about the fact that you are still alive itself...
How about adding some purpose to every single day... no matter how miserable your life is... (or you think it is). There is no person without a story and no person without a hidden pain, big or small... even those born with a silver spoon in their mouth suffer... maybe even suffer the most...
Why not be selfless tomorrow? Do a good deed to a stranger... call an old friend that you haven't spoken to in ages... or visit a random orphanage... or an elderly home... or even a hospital... put a smile on someone's face tomorrow... pick a flower from somewhere and offer it to a complete stranger... feed a bird a piece of your sandwich... chase a butterfly... look up at the sky and watch the clouds pass by... listen to the sound of the wind caressing the leaves on the trees... block out all the noise and try to focus on the essence of life, on what matters... on the little things that make the biggest impact. Touch someone's life tomorrow... Think of someone other than yourself... forget about what you will eat, wear, look like, say... do... for a while... just be. BE...

Life is too short... so let's just simplify.

Just saying!

How to Be the Perfect Girlfriend - 12 Steps.

You met the guy of your dreams, he's all you ever dreamed of, the knight in shining armor that will swipe you off your feet and take you away into a fairytale... BUT, he's not really into you? Here's how you can get him to be with you, no matter how stubborn and how uninterested he might be: 1. Chase him: Every person likes to feel wanted, and here is what you can do. Forget about your dignity and chase him. Spill yourself in front of him... Compliment him... pop up randomly at all the places he hangs out at... make him see you, day, night, weekdays, weekends... eventually he will get so used to seeing you around that when he doesn't... he will notice something missing. That's when you got your first hooks on him! 2. Play nice: Now that you have his attention, put on your best act. And yes, I mean ACT. We both know you're not that sweet innocent, trusting and harmless girl you are trying to portrait, and we all know you have a crazy b*tch hidden in you so

Making Viking Belt bags - the old way...

Image
This summer, I will be participating in Viking markets around Norway, so I had to prepare many items, as authentic as possible, to be able to display and sell them at the markets. I started making leather crafts without having any prior experience in leather work, I just gave it a try a few years ago, and it worked! Now, I just learn as I go, and I believe I am doing quite well, and people who see and buy my work keep telling me so... which is the encouragement I need to keep improving and doing new things, expanding my horizons, in a way. A while ago, I started making viking belt bags again. I had already made a few... but working alone, when you think you have done so much... you look at the number of hours used, and then you take a look at the number of items produced... and you see that it's never enough! Each pouch can take from 3 to 18 hours of work, depending on the size, the dying technique, treating/softening the leather, the engraving and the sewing. It all s

You're a victim of domestic violence? Leave our country!

It's crazy how the law is divergent from common practice, even in the most "humanitarian" of countries of this planet. It seems domestic violence is just another means to get attention, a pat on the back, cut ribbons and receive awards for the officials! While in reality, on the ground, in real life... the victims are being interrogated, subjected to a huge load of stress, trauma, insecurity, fear and invalidation... eventually to be expelled from countries that take pride in taking domestic violence seriously, or at least all websites and well paid advertisements say so. The abuser walks free... because he/she's not the foreigner in the picture. And of course all foreigners are liars, gold diggers and after the country's and tax payer's hard work. Right? Wrong! Of course some are like that, but in some western countries, you only have rights if you go as a refugee. If you move to the country because you are married to a local, you have no rights as you
