Pretty little liars...

"If I'm being honest..." sing The Chainsmokers in one of their songs (link to the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsv5IeI8bA8). I don't know why we all are sometimes scared of the truth. I don't say that I always tell the truth because that's obviously a lie. Cast the first stone who

have never lied. We do this and I can't understand why. Sooner or later everything will come up and we will have more trouble than we would have if we said the truth instantly. There is also more pain for us and for the ones we lied. 
Some time ago I did my own experiment. During one week I said only the truth. If someone asked me about my opinion, I said what was on my mind. I didn't lie, even if someone was expecting me to do that. After that week I lied but I couln't stand that more than 4 days. I had enough. Why? There are 3 major reasons.
1. Because making up the lies is a lot of harder than we expect. We're thinking we know what we are doing but suddenly we're entangled by all our lies and we don't know what is true anymore and our stories aren't coherent.
2. Coherent. Sometimes we say something and we forget about that. It's human, nothing to worry about. Perhaps we lied, than that's the right time to worry because when someone will ask us about the same thing and we will reply differently... Well, that's uncomfortable slip-up.
3. Last but not the least. We are hurting people. It doesn't matter if they sometimes want to hear a lie, usually they expect our honesty. Even if we think we protect someone, most of cases show that we don't.
We lie about a lot of things. That depends on what we want or what we do. Try do my experiment. With two options - one week for truth, one week for lies. I am very curious how long you will manage. Because lie seems to be a great way to live when we need this, but actually, only the truth is the right way to live.

The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

Image
I think a lot of people know The Hunger Games not because of the books but because of the films based on story of Suzanne Collins. I saw the 2 nd movie when I was in junior high school. My class wanted to see “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” in the cinema, so I went with them. When I saw “THE END” on the screen, I was very curious what happened next, so I reached for the books. It took source me about a week to read all three books. I was delighted by the story. In Panem, every year children between 12 and 18 years old from have to take part in game which is a punishment for the districts because they rebelled against Capitol and the President. In every district by drawing is decided who will take part in The Hunger Games, it has to be one girl and one boy. When 12 years old Prim is drawn, her sister Katniss reports that she wants to be the tribute and replace Prim. Katniss is almost sure that she will never come back home

Probably you have already noticed that I like trilogies. Well, The Selection by Kiera Cass was also a trilogy. After finishing 3 rd part, Kiera Cass decided to write 4 novels which are supplement stories and then she wrote also 2 books about next heir. If you like romances, you probably like this history. source The action takes place in future after World War III. There is no more USA but a huge kingdom still divided on states. But in this world the society is also divided – by casts. The hierarchy has 8 levels – first is reserved only for royal family, second for guardians in castle etc.   America Singer is “five” that means artists.

And what is selection about? For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape th

Who you really are?

source It is not really easy to find your place in the world. We always looking for something and we often forget what is life really about. Not money, not fame, not power. It seems important while we live, we want more and more and it's never enough. But in life the most important are people we live with. Our family, friends... It is important to find youself, make your dreams come true. You will never satisfy all, that is not possible. The only person you have to satisfy is you, no one else. Unfortunetely, people often forget about that. They work all the time instead of spending time with their families. They pretend someone else just to achieve something they want or need. Stop here for a while. Think about yourself. Who are you? What you like? What you really want? Look at the mirror. What do you see? Do you like it? At first sight, these are not hard questions, right? Just in theory. Often these questions are the most unlikely. Why? Because we are scared the answers for t
