The ugly truth


 I went to Dali exhibition that takes place in Bucharest until May at ARCUB. I fell in love with the statues in the picture above. If I remember well it is a goddess and the mirror is s similar figure with all the pointy bones. One represents beauty and the other one shows the imperfections. 

Before going into the Art Gallery, we passed through the crowded old town with people staying at restaurants and talking loudly. We passed through a table and I heard a guy yelling at another one:

-Do you realize he stayed with a fat girl for seven years? 

The other one replied: "It was like a redemption". 

The guy replied: " It was more like 7 years in Tibet. At least in Tibet was drought."

For one second I felt how rage invades my body. I struggled my entire life with extra kilograms. I was on the verge on going to him and punch him. I took a look at him. He was tall and had a couple of kilograms extra. I remembered that how we behave says more about ourselves than the person we gossip about. The way he pinpointed about the fat girl showed that if we would gain extra weight to the point of being fat, he would punish and hate himself. 

This morning a friend of mine wrote to me how she stumbled at work. In a chit chat over coffee and about coffee how all those sugary coffees lead to obesity without realizing that in a group there is an overweight person. Her intend was to show how unhealthy habits lead to unaesthetic weight. It is the same person that for each kilogram gained is capable of starving herself to reach the desired weight. I just asked if she can tackle with love each kilogram she gains or she hates herself. I also mentioned that overweight may also lead to other diseases like diabetes, heart failure, bloodstream issues. 

The way we behave and carry ourselves may show our beauty or painful and pointy parts. Aesthetics over health(love) or health(love) over aesthetics?

HOME

       There has been so much going on in the last two weeks that I am not sure how to tell it to you. I went on two hikes both quite difficult while I was discovering so much about myself. On May Day, we started our trip to Brasov from Bucharest. On our way to what would be our home for a couple of days, we stopped at my mom's place. The entire time I felt like I am going home, home in a spiritual way. I felt so much gratitude for everything and everyone. This comes from a person that would only dream of feeling this.      Four years ago I was in a relationship with a person who would reflect every pain I have. I still remember to this day that we were gathered in his kitchen, his mom and dad and us. He was comfortably staying on the sofa, while I was discussing with his mom in his kitchen. I have it graved in my memories when he told smiling: " We are alike. You are a runaway. The only difference between you and I is that you also physically runaway ...

Love and growth

           I've been thinking for a while in writing about relationships. What I can tell you is that I never had an example of a healthy relationship in my entire family. I don't mention my parents relationship as they were not able to reach agreement on joint custody and visiting hours. I also mention the extended family.  I've been raised by a single parent and the hardships of a relationship were hidden from my eyes.           My friends mentioned to me that I am the Creator of my relationships and I can build what I call "my perfect relationship". My friend also mentioned that I am not able  to request from my partner what I am not and that I will need to work out on my fears, traumas etc. It happens that my partner will trigger all my traumas while he will create the space to heal. There will be a dance between us.       What my friends were saying at that time seemed otherworldly, but their words...

Renting my baby

           I've been going through a lot of changes and challenges lately. As I moved in autumn at my boyfriend's place, I kept for a while my place free. Almost one year. This winter I paid utilities almost 100 EUR, which I found quite a lot for a house I don't live in. I discussed with my boyfriend to take all my precious books from there and have a space dedicated in his house.              Beside the logistics of moving my library to my boyfriends house, I also needed to handle a lot of documents so that I can officially be the administrator. This is the house I renovated. I was thought it is important because I chose every piece of material with my hand. I went two or three times to the stores so that I can decide on the type of sandstone I want. I watched two times the documentaries related on interior design on Netflix just to think to the flow I want to have in the room.          ...
