And if I cry, so what?
“Don’t cry”, “the man is the bearer of the house”, “you are a man, you are in charge”. These are just some of the expressions that ring in the ears of a little boy as he grows up, coming from both male and female figures in his social environment. Although they do not come as […]
Stuck cassette
I look around me; wheels that constantly move on the gray asphalt, to remind us of the never-ending “journey” of time. People are coming and going – who knows where to and how many times they have made this journey. Buses, always with their route marked, pass the same traffic lights, the same stops, the […]
“I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king”
Florence Welch, the lead vocalist of the band “Florence and the Machine” by the song ”The King” subverts stereotypes by focusing on what truly constitutes woman nature and highlighting the superpower that surrounds it. It breaks the chain of the roles that women are expected to embody, laying new foundations that are not based on […]
“I met people and I loved animals”
Animals have always been a part of people’s lives. It’s either because of their company, or the use of the products they provide, animals are a big part of our everyday lives. March 3rd has been established by UNO as the world wildlife day. However, animals’ abuse, wild and not, has been noted on a […]
Failure or second chace?
Sunday, 7:27 p.m., Central Library of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in the middle of the exam period. The scene is quite familiar: heads bent over books, computers, and notebooks, determined to achieve their goal, which is none other than getting through another exam. When I look at these faces, though, do you know what […]
On Fridays we Love Issue 5: Yoke
On a Wednesday like any other, something piqued our curiosity on a friend’s living room. A magazine that looked like a book with a cover, on which the photo of the Northern Lights made us unable to take our eyes off it. Yoke won us over since the very first moment we touched its pages. […]
Welcome to my TEDx Talk Ep.10: SPARKS: From a spark to a flame
Think of a line. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. You start your trip. You live, you play, dance, laugh, cry, talk, ask, wonder, you show, you grow. Your people love you, they pay attention to you, take care of you, help you, they are there every moment to admonish you, to […]
In search of love, not stress
How many times have you had a close person to you talking about a person they are romantically interested in they met through Instagram or Tinder? How many times have you met such a person? It is more likely that you answered yes to the above-mentioned queries. Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Tinder, Badoo. These are some […]
On Fridays we Love Issue 4: perspective.
Scrolling through our social media, we came across something that caught our attention. Paintings, colours, images, shapes, lines. We were left looking and soaking up as much as we could, while being mesmerised by this art form unfolding before our very eyes. We couldn’t help but seek them out, communicate with them, ask them to […]
Welcome to my TEDx Talk Ep.9: Playing with time
I don’t have time… I can’t make it… I should’ve done it when I could… I wish I had, but I never did… I’ve said or thought about these phrases thousands of times in my 22 years of existence and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I suppose that all of us have at […]
