It is not autumn, but summer that came, but I still felt like wishing to leave everything behind and go on an adventure that could change my life. And in a sense, I did.

I reached and successfully passed Kiki ver. 3.6 with flying colours. Do I feel stable? Somehow yes. Do I feel empowered? Maybe. Do I feel strong enough to conquer the world? Absolutely.

In the past one month I did so many things that I feel proud of. In chronological order:
– I went to see Skillet playing in Sofia, which I was dreaming to do for years
– Went through 2 hard weeks at work with nobody to help me in a new environment, cried at least 3 times per day, but still did everything I was supposed to, and nobody noticed I was struggling (I am not sure if this is good or bad)
– Spent my birthday evening in the local Plovdiv WordPress Meetup and had so many people congratulating me, it felt both great and a bit overwhelming
– Visited North Macedonia for the first time with my mom – both Skopje and Ohrid were great and I had amazing time seeing and breathing around water
– Visited WordCamp Europe 2026 – first time visitor of WCEU and first time visiting Poland – Kraków was marvellous, Warsaw was magical, especially with the great company that I had.

Back to work reality and all, I still feel like wishing to escape. But before that I need to only plan the whole visit to Paris in July, then another one to Budapest and Vienna in August, and another Germany concerts inspired trip in September. People keep asking me how I make it and if I hit the jackpot – not yet, but I survive on pure adrenaline and determination, as well as fully relying on Jesus. But without those “silly trips” I don’t think I’ll function properly – I need something to keep happening in my life, else I’ll feel stuck in the day-to-day reality and sameness.

I keep getting back to music – it is the best way to keep my soul intact. The lyrics are unlocking my creativity, the melodies makes me want to dream again, the rhythm keeps me moving forward. How not to love this? It might sound stupid when I say that music is my life, but this was, it is and it will always be the thing that keeps me going ahead, more and more…

So get on a train, don’t care about the luggage, don’t care about the ticket, squeeze that little green stone in your palm and just watch everything get behind.
