Where Do You Belong?
I remember that day so clearly. I was with my partner in a park nearby our apartment. We were enjoying a typical Irish summer, which meant warm hoodies and rain jackets. While we were talking about life, I mentioned the love for photography I had as a child. It was somewhere around 2004 when mobile phones came into our lives.…

Comfort Zone Has Had My Life On Hold For Years
I’m fascinated by how deeply I’m in my comfort zone. I convinced myself that by moving to another country and making some other decisions only few can, I was living outside of my comfort zone. Yes, they were pretty scary at the time, but I can’t hold on to that one period of my life and use it to justify…

I’m Overwhelmed By Inspiration
For the last few days, I’ve found myself trying desperately to create and not being able to deliver anything. I would spend an hour writing five sentences that I didn’t even like. When I finally admitted to myself what I was doing isn’t working, I started free flow writing, in other words, writing down any thoughts that come to my…

Creative Confidence
For years I believed I wasn’t a creative person. You see the way media portraits creatives and you get the idea how creativity comes only in that one form – a crazily talented person that knew she wanted to be a singer/actor/dancer, etc. from the age of three and have since then more or less worked on polishing that…
