When groundbreaking things were happening, I was mostly thinking about whether I’d catch the last tram or what was for dinner. And yet, those events are lodged in me somewhere.

Clothes just don’t stop needing to be washed — because no, you can’t live in that one t-shirt for the rest of your life. Trust me. I’ve tried. It doesn’t work.

This morning, at work, a tiny reed warbler hit the window next to me. A soft thud. There he was, a small, dazed bundle of feathers on the ground.

When I think about my cultural heritage, I don’t imagine a dusty museum with glass cabinets and “do not touch” signs. For me, it’s more like a living, breathing story that keeps unfolding — sometimes I follow the old script, and sometimes I rewrite it completely.

As someone wiser than me probably once said — we all love stories where someone ends up looking like a fool. And who am I to deny us all that pleasure?

Ah, energy. That mystical force that allows normal people to somehow survive another day. For me, it’s less about energy drinks and more about a carefully curated selection of existential dread and lack of horticultural experience.

Two days ago was Valentine’s Day – a holiday that makes some people euphoric and others more reflective. For as long as I can remember, people around me have placed great importance on celebrating significant events.

I really enjoy the holiday season. Not because I love receiving gifts — honestly, I don’t even have a wishlist. I love this time of year because home just feels more family-like.

An interesting part of Christmas preparations in Germany are the Christmas Markets. In big cities, they welcome all those craving hot sausages and mulled wine for an entire month.

Namaste! Good day, my friends, and other lost souls. The real world of Grzegorz has been full of work, life, more work, and dozing off in front of the TV lately. But I joyfully found a moment to write for you today!

I’m not much of a talker, but I’ve decided to share a few stories from my life, or perhaps, first and foremost, to write them down for future generations. I hope that one day, when my kids are older, they can come back to these tales and understand who their dad was.

A few days ago, my parents surprised me with an incredible gift – a large box full of old film negatives of family photos. The negatives are from the 80s and 90s, and maybe even from times before that. It’s amazing how a single object can throw you back in time four decades!
