In the light of those current events and the bookworm mood I am in, I decided to remind you all how important reading is. Not because it makes you a smartass or because you will be stupid if you don’t read, but just because it gives a whole new light and meaning to what you once knew. It gives you the opportunity to educate yourself in every field you want, give you an example of the emotional intelligence you may lack and most importantly the key for the door of entertainment, creativity and all those worlds you are yet to conquer.
Imagine leaving what you had and moving to another place with the intention to start a new life. In this case, your dream consists of building a beautiful house for yourself in which you can start a family. What happens when you are building a house?
It is hard work, time consuming. First you put foundations. You want your house to stay strong for generations, don’t you? You layer brick after another, day after day. You put up windows and doors, cover the bricks with concrete, paint the walls, design the rooms… Eventually, one beautiful day months, perhaps years later, you sit at the patio of your own house, the one you built with your bare two hands, with your soulmate next to you. You sight with relief and happiness.
Yet, this is not the end of the story. Your creations need maintenance. A house, a relationship, education, work… Everything needs maintenance, so it keeps its quality. Therefore, you don’t just give up, sell the house, or leave it be and move to another place. You need to stay there, repair what breaks, refresh and remaster.

Throughout the years I have often thought about what integrity is. I have always admired people with passion and ethics. For me, integrity consists of the core principles of a human being, their very own believe of moral uprightness. Of…

When I was a teenager I wanted so badly to grow up, to move on my own and to build up my life. I guess I wasn’t the only one in this situation (or at least I hope). I guess…
