ALWAYS LOVE LIKE IT’S THE FIRST TIME, FUCK LIKE IT’S THE LAST

written by BlogDan

It is still deeply ingrained in the male psyche to divide women into several categories: mothers, sisters, wives and Others. Priorities are set in their minds almost in the same order. The truth is, women should not be categorised, just loved.

Some men still stick to the rule, particularly during their dating period, that the other women are divided into those for “those things” and the ones to stand in front of a lighted candle on their patron saint’s day. In translation, that means they divide them into those for sex and the ones they can bring home to meet their mothers.

LOVE IS A FEELING, BEING IN LOVE IS A DIAGNOSIS

written by BlogDan

Being in love is an acute, euphoric state of mind that is characterised by a changed perception of reality, mixed-up priorities and unfounded optimism of an individual. It is most frequently cured by banging your head against the wall, by breaking your heart and rubbing reality onto the patient’s nose. To those being in love, that is to say, to the sick, the difference between love and being in love should be explained as early as possible, to prevent the sickness from spreading like wildfire.

PARENTS ARE HUMAN, TOO

written by BlogDan

There comes a day when, although we forever remain children in the eyes of our parents, but through some destined role reversal, we become parents to our own parents. At first it sounds bizarre to both sides. Both to parents, who always see us as young, and to children who always hold their parents responsible for everything.

LOVE WILL SAVE US

written by BlogDan

I do not think I am a pessimist. I consider myself more of a sworn optimist with a realist inside. That realist comes to the fore when I look around and see the way we act, the way we hate, raise our children, treat nature and I think… We are fucked. And then, out of nowhere, an optimist from the inside snarles out and makes me say this aloud to myself – Love will save us all.

I DON’T KNOW WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE, BUT I DEFINITELY KNOW WHO AREN’T

written by BlogDan

We have started to use the word Friend so casually, and I have a feeling we do not even understand it properly. We misuse it. We use it when flattering, calculating, kissing up to someone, bribing. We have started to downgrade it, stroke people’s egos with it, rub their low self-esteem the wrong way, stretch their shaky confidence to bursting point. And the word, baffled, still unaware of having been transformed from a cure into a weapon, screams silently and calls for old times.

I LOVE YOU SERBIA, BUT I LOVE MYSELF MORE

written by BlogDan

Serbia is a country people are leaving from. Here, cosmopolitans were long ago identified with traitors, gentlemen with the hen-pecked, the intelligent with nerds, the aspiring with the conceited. Then extreme nationalists, sexists, stupid ones and scumbags were given space to call themselves patriots, and the state became too narrow for the broad-minded, stifling for the generous, dark for seers. It is sad when there comes a day when your hunger outweighs your love of your homeland, when the draught blowing through your wallet opens your house door and your passport turns into a one-way ticket.

A CHILD IS NOT AN ASS FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE

written by BlogDan

I am a child of divorced parents. And an only child. Unfortunately. It was a sad marriage of two happy people. It was a family with a limp before it even started to walk. That family of mine was resuscitated by defibrillators from the state of coma and clinical death several times. Then, even more ill than before, it would continue to exist riddled with all sorts of malignant tumours. It suffered from distrust, vanity, poor communication, fear, stupidity, other people’s advice, personal insecurities and big expectations.

A DREAMER WITH INSOMNIA

written by BlogDan

If it is ok, I’d go to sleep now… With all due respect, fears of mine, honourable ghosts from the past, unfinished stories, uncertainty and pain, do not take me wrong, but I’d rather have some alone time. To be quiet. You are too loud for me. Especially you – other people’s expectations… You all speak at the same time, slam the doors in my head, you disturb the lullaby of mine that would sing itself to the ear of my serenity. You pry into my self-absorption and unawareness.
