You only have two choices

Hello, world! I know it’s been a while and I am, as usual, sorry for that. I’m here now because recently I’ve been thinking about an idea that has been my mantra, let’s say, in these past years. I apply it to my life and I admit that I hold the same standard for those…

Of Self-love and Other Demons

I’m very happy to see that people also talk about self-love in February – especially on the 14th.

Me vs. Her

De ce Elena, cum ziceam. … pentru că a venit timpul să arate ce poate.   Felicia – e visătoare, romantică, sensibilă.

Remember me? / Nice to meet you!

Poate vă amintiți de Felicia. Blogul ăsta avea URL-ul felicika25.wordpress.com, titlul său fiind Felicity’s. Ei bine… no more of that. That girl is sort of gone. De acum vorbiți cu Elena, orice ar fi. Și am câte ceva de povestit – de ce Elena, ce m-a făcut să mă întorc aici, la ce evenimente am…

Exercițiu

Cine sunt eu? Eu sunt Felicia Elena – deși nu mă (mai) identific cu niciunul dintre aceste nume. Eu sunt facultatea mea (Litere). Eu sunt experiențele mele. Eu sunt temerile mele. Eu sunt tristețile mele.
