Wonder Door

While Instagram is crashing, again and again, I can finally focus on writing here :) I always have been a YES person. Whoever asks me for whatever I am total Yes, of course. And I love my family and friends from the bottom of my heart but sometimes they are taking advantage of that. I am always here for them, always ready to help and to do a favor. But this is draining me and is sucking the life out of me. It takes me days in bed to recover and gain back my energy.

Cuddle with my cat - Ema is a continuous source of joy for me. This fuzzy ball of love makes me feel responsible and I have the desire to protect her with my arms.  3. A cup of coffee - In the long, summer days one

I mentioned this book more than 20 times in the previous weeks because for me is exactly that - An antidote to Chaos. Jordan Peterson's popularity is growing faster than a new hairstyle trend. In the past two years, we could see him kicking the ass of a cocky journalist, giving his lectures at the University of Toronto and answering a profound question in Quora. Peterson is the new face of the philosopher-intellectual, sometimes even a bit of an egghead. University professor and a psychologist, with passionate opinion and precise arguments his youtube videos, have more than 16 million views. Peterson is a modern day living legend. The book itself is a natural extension of his thoughts and ideas. Personally, 12 Rules for Life pulled me out of the anxiety hall. The mix of scientific arguments and legends made me think about the meaning of life a bit differently. The rules are simple and easy to follow. But what I found most interesting is how he wrote it as an ironic wink to a
