  • The World of Words

    Words do heal and words do hurt. They tell the truth, though every often, they do conceal what should be known to everyone. They give advice but never think twice, because once outspoken they never return to their thoughtless lord. ©2024, Vasiliki Papadopoulou, all rights reserved.

  • The Bare Truth

    How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? How would I describe myself? That’s a difficult question. At this point, you have to choose between being honest and describing yourself, including your flaws, as you are, or in a more beautified way, as if you are selecting…

  • My Typical Greek Mom

    What traditions have you not kept that your parents had? I haven’t crucially broken any tradition so far, but I might break one in the future, especially one dear to my mother’s heart. Since it is important to my mom, guess what tradition it could be……..? A wedding, of course.…

  • Miraculous Day

    Was today typical? I want to believe that not every day is a typical day. We humans just get too absorbed by our daily matters, so we don’t pay much attention to the details around us. That could be a bird sitting in the tree and singing its beautiful song,…

    How would you describe yourself to someone? Interesting question. It’s good to do some self-reflection now and then to discover and work on your flaws. So, how would I describe myself? I would say I am pretty self-confident. This was not always the case; it started to change after I…

    If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? To tell the truth, I was never very interested in Paleontology. The only chance I got in touch with this kind of science was through Ross Geller from the series Friends. Which dinosaur would I choose to bring…

  • South Korea

    If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? Uhuuuuu, I am not very lucky when it comes to winning something, but if I had two free tickets, I would grab my mom, as she hasn’t traveled much in her life, especially to foreign countries. My wish destination…

  • Non-Existent

    What’s the story behind your nickname? I don’t have a nickname because I’ve insisted on being called by my name. But this wasn’t always the case. My name is Vasiliki. It’s a Greek name, the female version of Vasilios, and it means royal. It derives from the Greek word basileus…

  • 2 Compounds

    What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being? In my eyes, well-being is built on two compounds: keeping your body healthy and staying psychologically / emotionally balanced. To keep my body healthy, I pay attention to my nutrition, which means eating balanced meals. So, I try to…
