Welcome to my mind castle

Hello, there!

Human life. The most extraordinary thing there is, they say.

Threw out history, not a philosopher, a poet nor a researcher could resist the temptation of discovering and writing about the purpose of life, the beginning of it. Consider, for instance, Aristotle. He had it all figured out, didn’t he? He defined a human being as being a “rational animal” which is reflected in the modern name for our species “Homo Sapiens” meaning in Latin “Wise men”, little did he know. Or, one of my personal favorites, Charles Baudelaire who expressed the changing beauty in modern Paris back in the 19th century bringing to life his struggle in finding happiness and meaning for life. The thrill of it is that, we will remain the most mysterious creatures of them all.

Yes, we are indeed creatures. We are tormented by our own existence, what is wrong and what is right, between the voice of reason and our emotions, what we desire and what is the right thing to do and to want. So complicated, right? Humans have been trying so hard to figure out life that they have created rules to feel safe, sanction to free their conscience. We have been so lost in finding purpose in love, dreams, relationships, drugs, lust that there is nothing left in this world that can fill that void. Humans even categorized their fellow creatures so that everything and everyone has a label: single, married, divorced, cheater, mistress, whore, nerd, weirdo and so on goes the list.

Humans have erased all the barriers of privacy in leading open lives on social media stealing all the fun in getting to know one another, vanishing sincere communication and making prejudice our master in a majestic gold crown. We want to be seen, we want to seem outgoing and open, and we want to lead incredibly interesting lives. But we wind up creating a life that is not ours, going to the job that we hate, hanging out with the friends that used to disgust us wondering maybe we will share their power one day, hanging out in the fanciest places we couldn’t afford but never said no to, always letting the wrong people in but never manage to stop it, playing a role in this masquerade that entertains society.

Okay, fine. You want entertainment? You’ve got it.

The girl with the brown eyes is welcoming you into her mind palace.

A place like no other, with no filters, filled with sweet poems and writings about sour love and lifelong disappointments. We’ll laugh together, get angry together, tear up together but know this; she will always leave you wanting to know more.
