Once again, I find myself at a loss for words, at least for my own words — today I just find myself with raw, intense, overwhelming emotions and a particular song of one of my favorite musicians (Bruce Springsteen) ringing in my ears: “Human touch”. So here go the lyrics that particularly resonate with meContinue reading “Letting it slip away”

Do foxes go into — and therefore come out of — hibernation? If so, in springtime I’m definitely more like the little wild fox seeking friends to play with —  feeling pretty restless myself and hardly able to focus on work or “duties”!  I guess I’m more like the Little Prince, roaming and exploring byContinue reading “Springtime!”

This is one of my favorite “tea-tag” quotes and I always try to live accordingly, but I’m realizing that it’s not always as easy as I though it would be… Recently, I’ve often been saying that I’m “discovering my identity” and “finding my voice”, using the two phrases almost interchangeably.

My dream included the possibility of my friends having spouses and/or nuclear families of their own, it didn’t feel contradictory: we’dContinue reading “A child’s dream”
