  • Confirmation

    Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. Now, I don’t crave everyone telling me what a lovely and kind person I am. It’s impossible to be liked by all people. I also don’t like everyone with whom I come in contact. Sometimes, I don’t even like myself,…

  • Sooth

    My heavy heart ripples guided by the cold north gale watching out towards south for a warm, pleasing, sooth place to embrace and hold on tight not ever want to leave all the way until the end of life. ©2024, Vasiliki Papadopoulou, all rights reserved.

  • A Sweet Start

    Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. I wish to write about my first day at school, as I still have a shimmering memory of that day. I was 6 years old, and I remember feeling a huge change was happening around…

  • Young Perfomer

  • Creative Creators

    What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I like watching other artists, such as painters, sketchers, graphic designers, etc., while they create their art. It’s fascinating to me how something beautiful for the eye and the soul is created out of a blank canvas, brush by brush, here…

  • Cassandra-Quote

    So that by the stream of heroic songs, that tiny runnel, arduous, those distant, maybe happier people, who once will live, also will reach. ~Cassandra, by Christa Wolf~

  • Educationally Valuable

    What’s your favorite cartoon? On this occasion, I want to confess that I’m still watching cartoons. Well, these shows are pedagogically highly valuable, no matter how old you are. I have two favorites: One is the Looney Tunes Cartoons, which contains many different series, and my favorite is The Road…
