“When I look in the mirror, I know I’m looking at someone who isn’t sure she deserves to be loved at all.”

 

Bilo je čudovito poletje, sončni žarki so sijali skoraj z vso svojo močjo na fanta in dekle, ki sta se počasi sprehajala po parku. Smejala sta se šalam drug drugega ter se občasno po nesreči, nezavedno dotaknila drug drugega. Kar naenkrat se je fant ustavil, se obrnil proti dekletu in jo prijel za roke. Pogledal jo je v oči in rekel: "Rad te imam."

Dekle se je v trenutku zresnilo. "Ka-aj?" je zajecljala. Nič ji ni bilo jasno. Še pred minuto sta se lovila po parku, prepričana je bila, da lahko s svojo roko v njegovi osvoji ves svet, a zdaj je obstala sredi travnika popolnoma zmedena.
"Julija, všeč si mi," ji je ponovno povedal.
 Pogledala ga je in videla, da misli resno. A še vedno ni verjela, le kako bi mu bila všeč ona, čisto povprečno dekle, ki v ničemer ne izstopa. "Zakaj?" ga je tiho in obotavljajoče vprašal.

Njen odgovor ga je presenetil. "Zakaj?" je ponovil. "Julija, eno izmed najboljših deklet si, kar sem jih kdaj spoznal. Vem, da se lahko vedno zanesem nate, da me boš vedno spravila v dobro voljo. Vedno komaj čakam, da te vidim, saj je vsak trenutek s tabo popoln. In ko te pogledam, vidim prečudovito dekle s prelepimi, sijočimi lasmi in temi velikimi, včasih resda naivnimi očmi, ki žarijo, ko govoriš, o nečem, kar imaš rada. Pa tvoj nasmeh, ne zavedaš se, kako si lepa, ko se nasmejiš." Za trenutek je obmolknil. Ko je videl njen prestrašen obraz, se mu je pogled pomračil. "Razumem, če ne čutiš enako," je dodal z glasom, v katerem je bilo čutiti sled razočaranja.
Obrnila se je stran, saj ni več prenesla njegovega pogleda. On, fant, o katerem sanja vsako noč, je zaljubljen vanjo. Vedela je, da je že dolgo zaljubljena vanj, a si tega ne upa priznati. Strah jo je bilo ljubezni, strah pred tem močnim, globokim čustvom, ki ga prej še nikoli ni čutila. Bala se mu je zaupati svoja čustva, saj je vedela, da bo s tem postala ranljiva, mu dala moč, da jo prizadane, uniči. A tokrat se je odločila tvegati. Pogledala ga je z očmi, v kotičku katerih so se nabirale solze, a so vseeno izžarevale nepopisno veselje.

"Tudi ti si meni všeč," je priznala.

DAY 2. - Favorite side character.

Sometimes side characters can be even more compelling than the main ones, so I've had really big troubles with choosing my favourite. It takes a great writer to create a side character with whom readers fall in love, because they give the special touch to the story and make the story even more interesting and deep.

I was thinking about the books I've read recently and thought of so many great characters, but instead of that I kept looking for someone about whom I was reading a long time but still couldn't forget about him/her. So... Among all possible options I chose Adrian Ivashkov from Vampire Academy.

Yes, he is the main character in the Bloodlines series, but in the Vampire Academy he was just a minor character and wasn't even mentioned in the first book. In Frostbite, 2nd book in series, he didn't make a really good first impression. He was a bored rich guy who was trying to get Rose, with whom he fell in love on the first sight. But during the Vampire Academy and later Bloodlines series, he was slowly changing and came from a desperate boy, who had no idea what to do with his life and whose only entertainment were alcohol and girls, to a man that actually cares about others, fall in love with a human girl and start doing something with his life. I like him, because at the beginning he is a weak-willed person. Yes, he's always been doing everything his own way, irrespective of what others thought about him, but his worst poison and enemy was coming out of himself. He is a spirit user and that's why he had problems with behavior and depression, but then, with Lisa's help, who is also a spirit user, he learned that alcohol and partys were not the cure for his problems and that he needed to change the way he was living. It was definitely hard for him, but he became a man that knows what he wants, do things his way, but he still remained Adrian: honest, frank, ready to party at any minute of the day and not being afraid to defend the ones he loves.

DAY 1. - A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just end already.

So here we are, day 1.

When I was younger, I absolutely loved reading series. As I found a new amazing series, it meant that for the next month or even more, if there were more books, I'll be reading and enjoying, making sure to borrow enough books in library for the next week and hardly waiting to open the next one after finishing previous.

I have to mention the Famous Five by Enid Blyton. It's been a long time since I read them, but I can still remember enjoying every single one of 21 books. I remember the day when my parents brought me the first one book from the library. I was like, they certainly didn't take the first one, but I started reading and found out it actually was. I really liked their adventourous, when they went camping on their own and the most of all, how good friends they are and... FOOD. You know, they were always hungry and were eating all these delicious british food.

But theme today is a book series you wish had gone on longer. It may sound so ordinary, but my favourite favourite favourite series was Harry Potter. I can still remember a call from bookstore when they were ordering last book or how we went to bookstore to get it. Then reading it slowly, wishing it will never end end feeling kind of sad when it finished although the end was happy.

And what about a book series you wish would just end already? I'd say House of Night. I was trying so hard to read all of them, because I kind of liked the first book, but all the next ones were just so, I don't know, boring. Mostly I just read beginning and end of the book, I really couldn't wait and read the whole book to see what happens at the end. Honestly, I'm not really sure I read all of them, maybe skipped the last one or maybe even two... But I liked that quote: Darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good.

Starting tomorrow!

How I met your father, 1

I was looking for someone.
Someone that I haven't seen for ages.
Someone that I loved.

   I was here. I got off the car and took a deep breath.  The smell was the same, but nearly everything was different. A few years of war totally changed our world. There were no more internet or mobile phones, computers, tv and other stuff like that. People started living like 100 years ago. I loved the feeling, when there weren't any electric devices around me.
   I started walking through an old village. Memories were all around, remembering me why I'm here. An old house, tree by the stream, bench... And his house. I came here with a plan and knew exactly what to do, but at that moment I just.. couldn't move.
   There were four people in the house: a woman and three little kids. I could see them at the table, waiting for their dad to come and eat lunch.
   That was too much for me. I was jealous on that woman, because I wanted to sit at her chair, playing with children and waiting for him. But I was doing just one of these things: waiting for him to come in the kitchen, wanted to see his face, the most beautiful that I've ever seen.
  Our story is to complicated and sad to describe in just few sentences. But I think, my little kid, we've got enough time before rain fades away.

Everything started in year 2012, the first one on college.

The sun was shining and everything was beautiful.. Green shades surrounded her. The smell of freshly mown grass, sound of rippling water. She was stunned because of all the memories that were chasing on her mind.
The first time when she came here, nature was even beautiful. There was the same tree, growing along the stream, fields, river.. But there was also him.. The one who learned her how to enjoy the beauty. And life, also. How to wake up every morning with a big smile on your face, to start day with saying "thanks, that I'm alive".
Unfortunately, he left. Another place was calling him. And people, that needed his help more than I did. Maybe, he will come back some day. And then, only one look will be enough to fall in love with him again.

Life has many chapters for us. One bad chapter doesn't mean it's the end of the book.

Life is too short to stress over what shouldn't be an issue.  

School vs. life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson. 

 

Don’t make me mad then tell me to calm down. That’s like shooting someone and then wondering why they’re bleeding. 

Sometimes good people need to leave your life to make room for better people to come in. 

Dear God, I want to take a minute, not to ask for anything from You, but simply to say Thank You, for all I have.. 

A great relationship is about two main things: First, finding out similarities. Second, respect the differences. :) 

A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot and realize how blessed you are. 

You may not love me like I love you,You may not care for me like I care for you But if you ever need me, I will always be around for you. 

When someone's words & actions are not lining up..go with their actions, every time. Actions say what words won't. 

Be crazy. Be stupid. Be silly. Be weird. Be whatever. Because life is too short to be anything but happy. 

Be nice and smile to everyone you meet. You don't know what they are going through, and they may need that smile. 

Life isn't a matter of being first ; It is a matter of keeping your heart in the right place ,in every situation.
