  • Kiss of Life to Creativity

    What is your favorite genre of music? First, I would like to explain what music means to me generally. Music is like a breeze, a breath that sparks my creativity. The melodic sound, the beat, the lyrics – a single word can breathe life into my blazing, untamed fantasy. Since…

  • Shame on you

    Fear stepped onto my soul, trampled on it relentlessly. Helpless, it curled up together. When suddenly courage rose regnant like thunder. It endowed it with two tremendous wings. Then the soul rose breezily upwards until fear froze terribly and withdrew in shame. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou #fear #soul #courage #life #lifelessons

  • Waitlist…

    Describe your most memorable vacation. To be honest, so far, I haven’t experienced such a vacation. Not that I have extravagant expectations or standards, like traveling to a posh, exotic place. However, over the last five years, I haven’t even had the chance to travel at all. These years were…

  • Before the Law

    Humans make laws for humans. To benefit us and protect us.

  • Romance=Chili

    What’s your definition of romantic? Seems someone is in a romantic mood… Anyway, I will describe my view of romanticism as it was when I was in my mid-20s. Romance is writing to each other daily, sending short love notes, and sticking them on the fridge, the mirror, or on…

  • Grievance

    The beat of my heart is singing a song with unbearable sorrow about Love. Its silent, crying night and day in a grievance, merely saying: Oh my love, my sweet-bitter love how could you smash my heart so much? ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou

  • Dedication

    How do you express your gratitude? Very often, two phrases are complex, or, to put it another way, conflicting, like an unbridgeable gap for us to express or, at the very least, genuinely mean when we say these phrases. These phrases are “I’m Sorry” and “Thank You”. How do I…

  • Comeback

    My invisible wounds lay open and my silent tears are falling into a deep well of sorrow. Yet, inside my head a voice is crying loud: The cruelty of life has brought me to my knees, but the hope of life will keep me alive and bring me back on…
