The silence before Easter...


Ok so basicaly...I was quiet....Again...
These days were packed...With Spring/Easter cleaning and cooking...Lots of cooking.My granny cooks a week before Easter to have what to put on the table because it is belived here in Romania that on bigger holidays(Christmas,Easter etc.),if you don't have your table full,you'll eat poor the whole year.Supersticious people.
Anyways,I've been busy with helping my family,and also our school is going to be renovated, like from bottom to top.We had to move all the desks ,chairs,everything from our old class to another building where we are going to finish this semester.But finally Easter brake is here!!!!!!!
I'm Orxtodoxian,so our Easter is next week,(more like this Sunday but you get it)
I'm sorry for AGAIN Silence but I didn't want to write about something boring and short.
Honestly,these preperation kind of let me down on what people think Easter represents.I wish we could just not clean the house to be spotless,not cook for 100 people,and just spend some family time.
I'm sick of being told to get out of the way,to see how my grans is killing herself cookind,how our expenses grow so much in this period.This is another reason why I promise myself not to follow any custom whatsoever when I'll move.Who needs lamb for Easter?I'm super happy with chicken!
Who needs to squeaky clean the house.I'll just vacuum the house.Or I'll use all that money for food on a housemaid to clean for me because I HATE Cleaning!!!

I'm on a little rush so I'll continue the post when I'm back:)

Later....:)

Ok so to resume what I was saying.
Easter looks to me more like a campaign on selling lamb,eggs and other stuff(related to food or anything else)rather than the significance of the actual holiday.
I don't think Jesus died for us so that we  could eat like piggies and have clean houses on this time of the year.
I'm dissapointed on this kind of behaviour.Ok,let's have lamb,but not other 5 kinds of food.Literally,to many people end in hospital from all that food.And they still do this twice a year.Let's face it.So many people don't have even the lamb for Easter.Why can't we at least share our food.Why just keep it then throw it away.Because that's happens some times.
Is it too much to ask to just not prepare things for the outside and focuse on our soul this period.

I'm sorry I talked too much about this subject,but it just makes me sad to see how we treat a very important holiday.Is it the same in other countries?Or in our country,does everybody do that.
I didn't write about all this to put our country and traditions into a bad light.But I think that some things need to be changed.

Have you all a Happy Easter!And all your wishes may come true :)
And I hope some of you might agree.

Alexandra :)

Beauty lies within

Whether you're a girl/boy/woman/man/child and you feel let down...Remember this: You are beautiful no mather what they say!Those who used this verse for a song were pretty smart. They probably wanted us to understand that making people feel bad doesn't make us better than them. Superficality isn't something you should brag about. I remember when I was in 7th grade I was everybody's trash.I had merely 3-5 friends that were also bullied.I don't understand why every insecure brat thinks that is cool by bullying other people with whom  they don't even hate or weren't harmed by. Bullying isn't something to play with.In some cases it can have serious consequences. That's why God gave you a mouth.To use it to solve discussions. If I have an advice for you,I do.If you are bullied, ask them why are they doing this.If they don't have an answer,they are the most pathetic human beings you'll ever meet.If they pass some limits like beating you o...

After 7 years, I went back to my Erasmus city

Hey there, I know it has been a while. I'm all grown up and saving China ( 10 points if you know where the quote is from). I know it's been a while and I know I could be quite rusty right now. But I truly believe that this post might reach the hearts I'm looking towards reachings.  So today's topic will focus on how I got the opportunity to go back to Lille after 7-8 years of not stepping foot in the North of France.  Writing this, I can say, makes me all emotional and nervous considering I wouldn't have imagined some of the things that have hapenned in my life.  But let' get back to how I got back to Lille this year. First, we have to go back to 2024. Easily one of the hardest years of my life. 2025 isn't showing much improvement, but I'll make a quick stop of my life some other time. Today is an ode to my younger version. 2024, around August, I had this mesmerising call of destiny to return. I have been around the internet for a while and I have seen t...

I finally put your pillow away

 The following account comes from the depths of a creative mind and a complex soul. The following lines are meant for healing and not for harming. The following lines are for my very soft place for happiness that sometimes is delayed. And maybe for you, since you came across this. Once upon a time, my words brought happiness to me and to a dear person of mine. The appetite for reawakening my words have come from a deep desire to pull away from the pain and channel it into something creative. I dedicate this to all the healing souls. Once upon a time, I used to smile at a smile. Your smile. It would light up my world and set my senses on fire. Now I am left seeking your smile in the past. Blessed be thy smile and those lips around them. Once upon a time I would have a token of you to hide from the world. Now this token of a piece of me is in your house. I hope you will cherish it the way I look back and cherish everything. I hope my rainbows will shine a light on the shores of the g...
