I don’t care what you do for a living. I want to know what you desire and if you dare to dream of fulfilling your heart’s longing. I don’t care how old you are. I want to know if you’ll risk looking like a fool for love,…

Live today as if tomorrow will never come
Today, in my quiet reflections on the nature of my own existence, I reached a peak—of thoughts, feelings, and untold moments. The inner storm has finally subsided after months of turmoil, only to reveal a new truth to me and shed light on the ingrained traits of my innate character. And I am very grateful,…

The courage to move forward and the freedom to want nothing
Everyone follows their own path. Some follow well-trodden paths, others chart new routes through uncharted lands, and still others get lost along the way. But the true journey is not measured in kilometers, nor in achievements. It is a journey through the shadows of our fears, through the light of awareness, through the freedom of the unexpected. Yes…

A Wake-Up Call
Nothing in life can compare to the feeling you get when you’re hit with a suspected cancer diagnosis. That moment when a routine checkup turns into a sensitive conversation and gentle reassurance that everything will be okay. It’s the moment when you realize so much. Usually, after that…

Choice
The only free choice that sometimes arises is thanks to one of the two driving forces that exist: love or fear. Fear is the energy that contracts, closes in, draws in, flees, hides, hoards, or harms.

Уличното изкуство, бунтът на едно поколение
Когато чуят думата „графити“, повечето хора разбират това като акт на незаконна хулиганска проява, публичен вандализъм над обществено или лично имущество, и това са хората които обикновено считат, че това е причината големите градове да изглеждат отчайващо мръсни и неподдържани. Това са хората, които винаги имат критично мнение към другите,…

The Faces of Armenia
Днес, живеейки в един динамично развиващ се свят, еволюиращ духовно и интелектуално, сякаш ние имаме все повече нужда от уроци по човечност и морални ценности. Отхвърляме избирателно нелицеприятните неща, чуждата болка, трудно подкрепяме чужди каузи или успехи, повече говорим отколкото мислим. Там някъде на Североизток има една държава, в която…

Реките на София
“Реките на София – изолирани, бетонирани и пусти. Минаваме покрай тях и откровено ни става тъжно. И вероятно всеки втори, застанал над канала на булевардите “Евлоги и Христо Георгиеви” и “Сливница”, се е питал – защо София няма чисти, уредени и нормални централни реки. А може би на софийските “канали”…
