  • Upskilling

    What skills or lessons have you learned recently? I haven’t learned any new lessons recently, but I improved one skill I have: writing. For that, I bought some books on writing, which I’ve found very insightful and helpful, and I haven’t regretted the cent I spent on them. So, if…

  • Out of Order

    My soul wears spread wings and my heavy heart between, frail, jittery hands, my mind dissolves over time. I look around, lost, perfectly out of order. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou

  • Eastwards

    What cities do you want to visit? First, I must tell you that the country I’m eager to visit is China, which is vast. So, the cities I want to visit there are, of course, the capital, Beijing; Shanghai; the Tech City, Shenzhen; and the Ice City, Harbin. A lot…

    The mind cannot contain the pain that the soul carries, so it fights to erase yesterday and today hone in on tomorrow, but the soul has a deep gaze that embraces all of time forever. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou

    Tell us about your first day at something – school, work, as a parent, etc. I will tell you something about my first day at work. It’s when I started my apprenticeship as a specialist in wholesale and foreign trade. I don’t remember the exact day, but it was in…

  • Pious Fear

    Vast, bright, captivating horizons reveal before me, and my shaky hand reaches out with all heart and pure bliss, but the mind captured in chains of fear piously resists freedom. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou

  • Unity

    Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? I remember from the age of 7 to 15, I was a member of a Folklore Dance Club. Over the years, we performed many times at various festivals and festivities. It was a fun time, even when under pressure, but…

  • GIFT

    Two small crumbs of love I crave from you crazily to gift me, but you just donate a wicked smile as if I’m an insane beggar, reminding me that love isn’t a mere present but must be earned. ©2025, Vasiliki Papadopoulou
