After few months of dating my relationship has ended. I felt sad in the beginning, but it gets better now. I’ve just had to remember not to put mascara in the morning and to carry handkerchiefs at all times. And to cook a soup.

National Weekend Trip to Manchester
Reading Choice I’m sitting at O’Brien’s, sipping gin and tonic and waiting for my friend. I had a pretty shitty day at work and all I want is to talk it through and get some cuddles. He doesn’t want me to stay over. I feel sad and disappointed. I feel insecure. To fight the feeling […]
Such a Perfect Day
The November temperatures are alternating with few sunny days. Girls would like to wear shades and short skirts and have tanned legs. Instead, they are wearing sausage dresses and paint their legs with an instant tan from a tube. I feel privileged to join them in order to relax and consume alcoholic beverages on Friday. Offer […]

I’m watching “Californication” and it breaks my heart. Not because everybody is sleeping with everybody. Not because is showing how adults might be confused in their own adult, immature way.

The Myth of Equality
Know Your Place It was a couple of years ago. I was working on an exciting project and things were looking good. As the only woman on a project team, I felt comfortable. I had a good rapport with my boss and was acquiring knowledge and skills at a great pace. I felt fulfilled. At that […]
Good Will Gesture, a Short Story of Kindness
Strike It is a beautiful end of March morning and I’m taking few hours off from work just to relax. I am supposed to have family mediation later, which usually means some unpleasant emotions on the way. This is why I decide to have a posh brunch in my favourite spot in town… I love a […]
Fake It until You (not) Make It
Relapse I am sitting at my desk staring at an Excel spreadsheet. I have been working on it for the last couple of days, and still able to capture tiny mistakes. My brain is slow again and I can smell gluten and chocolate in the air. I feel miserable. It can be called a relapse. […]
