just your average daydreamer

It's undeniable that I don't read as much as I used to or as much as I'd like to. I think It's also a little bit alarming that I would read more in primary school than I do now. But it's true! I was that kid who would hide under the blankets late at night with a torch in one hand and a fascinating book in the other. (My mum would get mad at me for doing that but at least I wasn't staying up late to play video games, right?).  Now, that I think about that time, I feel like reading was similar to breathing for me. I just couldn't stop doing it even if I'd wanted to. As soon as I finished one book I would pick up another one from my shelf or run to my local library which, by the way, is still one of my favourite places on Earth. I love libraries in general because they're so cozy and calm and quiet. You feel like you need to show some respect surrounded by the Literature. (In fact, my dream job has always been to become a librarian so I'm not r

In today's post I'd like to share with you some of my experience of being the oldest of five children. Well, first I need to clarify something. I have a twin sister but she's five minutes younger and she's the crazy and the messy one while I'm the one who's more responsible and neat. (Don't worry, she won't be offended because she knows it's true, we've talked about that many times).  So I'm 23 years old and I'm the oldest. Then there's my twin sister, Martyna, five minutes younger than me. Then we have a 20-year-old brother who's name is Gabriel (but we still call him Gabryś, because he will always be our little brother although he's much taller than us and he wears a beard). Next there is Mikołaj (also known as Mikuś), who's 15 years old . And last but not least is our little one, Agnieszka who will soon turn 7 years old.  We are all very different from one another. Gabriel is a math genius, while I've been

I really like watching tv series. I particulary enjoy binge-watching them because I feel like I'm able to connect and identify with the characters on a deeper level when I get to know their whole story at once, rather than watching only one episode every week.  For a long time this kind of tv productions was very much underestimated. Series were considered inferior to full-length movies screened in movie theatres. But let's face the facts: even only one season of a tv series is a lot longer than an average movie. And having this additional time, the creators of the show are able to develop the characters in a much more complex way and to present their story to the audience from many diffrent points of view. That's why I love watching good series and today I will tell you a little bit about one of them that I've recently seen.  It's called The Chosen and it's a series that talks about the life of...Jesus! I know, you probably think that there have a

Do you cultivate the habit of making New Year's resolutions? I'm sure that even if you don't do it now, there must have been at least one year when you thought it was a good idea. I know because I've been there too. The beginning of the new year seems the perfect time to finally change your life for better, to start jogging, going to the gym or reading at least one chapter of a book a day. But here's the shocking news: this period is actually one of the worst moments for taking up new activities. We are all sluggish and sleepy after the Chistmas and the New Year's Eve. It's all a little bit overwhelming and we need some time to process the fact that one more year of our life has passed.  I read somewhere that actually the best time to make resolutions is the beginning of autumn - yet another reason to love this beautiful season! In Semptember and October our brain is rested and recharged after the summer, we are ready to undertake new challenges and mak
