The Stubborn Flower

And I am a flower. I bloom and blossom again and again. You can rip out my leaves, stand on my petals, and tear my stems apart. Whatever you do, you can’t stop me from blooming again. It might take a while, but it will happen as inevitably as all those beautiful memories you chose to forget have happened. We […]

So Shiny, So New

There is something powerful and exciting, something that shines bright and makes you dream: It’s the power of the new, a power so strong most of us can’t resist.No matter if it is new people, new shoes, a new love, or a new job: Every beginning starts with dreams, hopes, and beautiful anticipation. The known has no chance against the […]

Meaning-Seeking Creatures

Are we driven by money, fame, the search for beauty or love? I say those are all passengers, while the driver is the Why. Constantly we seek to know the Why in everything we do.Studies say that 4-year olds ask about 200 to 300 questions a day, a lot of them starting with Why. Even if we lose this excessiveness […]

The Attack of the Rainbow Spiders

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Halloween! We do creepy the fashion way here. Are you afraid of spiders? Me too, but if a good look needs bravery, then I’m all in. I wouldn’t be Sara if I wouldn’t jump for every opportunity to dress up, make something special out of a day, and let the ordinary behind wherever I can. […]

Romance is Dead

Romance seems to be something that existed in a different life or universe, I almost can’t remember how it feels. I have the wardrobe to attend a million candle night dinners and certainly the kind of heart that beats faster when there is something beautiful in the air. But it seems that the air has just become air and nothing […]

Fly High Butterfly

What is a butterfly, if not a tiny and beautiful yet incredible delicate creature? It’s easy to crush a butterfly but very hard not to be dazzled by its beauty. I often feel like a butterfly, spreading glitter and being aware of my own vulnerability.I want to sing the Die Antwoord song about the butterfly, asking for protection that I […]

The Metal Heart

I wish my heart was hard like metal,with a warm and bright golden shine.A safe and unbreakable golden vessel,keeping my vulnerability locked away. I wish your presence was tattooed onto my soul,not fading when the air exits my lungs.My feeble memory is my vehement enemy,betraying me of what I crave the most. I wish my skin was the surface of […]

The Last Summer Party

Some are excited about the change of season, but not me, not yet: I see summer as a lover who is leaving, and I don’t want to let him go. Oh, my love, dear summer, you can’t escape through the back door, not without another kiss, please just one more time! I went out with all my floaties and my […]
