Black and White, Smile and Howl

Tried to grab the reasons why people keep on hating each other, even wrote about the racist issue, yet felt nothing has changed. Basic instincts are stronger than anything you can say or act like doing. I don't know why humans created teams of black and white. It truly means nothing if you look close enough. Just skin, flesh, and bones, material stuff, and thangs. Leave it where it belongs! I have seen many more interesting. Ideas can not beat actions. Darkness can not defeat the light. Ignorance has no power over faith. Kindness walks with the crown.

Thanks to Lily Allen I had a totally British pop-mood dynamo this early morning. Had no black pudding sarny, yet it was fine to hear something new, at least new to me. Encourage you all to try new waves as often as possible (whether you are an artist or not)! We - writers - need the fresh and the unknown to function properly. And caffeine, of course, my precioussss, pour me a little caffeine! Lily's childish melody tricks you then you realize the amazing lyrics and you burst into laughter, filled with relief! Gal is killin' it! Got me a new matey, baby! Hats off.

'The Handmaid's Tale' is something I am not going to watch, too similar to reality. Why bother when life gives you the very same horrors? I prefer something which can elevate and push you into creativity and positivity. Not naively, just humanly.

'Flames' is my new favorite love song from dearest (one of the most unique voices I have ever heard and fallen in love with) Avril Lavigne and her beau, Mod Sun (he has a nice voice too). Takes a writer on a youthful, unspoiled adventure full of raw colors of the heart. Listen when you can! I mean, whenever - wherever! Flying without wings!

Reading the news daily about the Covid-19 pandemic and the vaccines and the masks and wondering when will life be without them? Not saying back to normal because our lives never were that way. Just asking when can we wander again? Like another essential to the writer's life. Purely selfish reasons, see? I'll howl to that!

Glaciér Green with Cottagecore

Stardust can not get into your eyes while you stare at the monitor. Tested and true. You have to move out - not going to say the trivia 'out of your comfort zone', yet it is the reality - side, explore! There are plenty of things to do in our world, with our world. Time flies fast like crazy, and I bet you don't want to feel regrets, so move out! Whether you are having cottagecore dreams or not.

We all have goals, plans, directions in our lives. Like me, some of us are guided by unwavering and pure faith, no matter what preposterous adventure may befall us. A simple life is not as easy as it may sound to you. High thinking is not any privilege to the genius but to anybody who is willing to never stop learning. I've always been like that. New experiences and new people help me go forward and be truly useful for the benefit of us all.

What is the thing in this material existence which can offer you that safe haven or escape you are looking for? Who makes you feel influenced and inspired? I believe that it is essential for us human beings to find new ways, to be able to see examples of how it is done. We are unique, nobody can give the world the talent we can. Let's move out and share it with them!

Life is stressful - we all know and experience that. Where to turn to? What to do? Who to ask? Our present-day is full of Covid-19 and vaccination, climate change, plastic waste, black lives matter, stop Asian hate, political upheavals, LGBTQ need acceptance, etc.

Reading is coming back to fashion, so does writing. I've been doing it for two decades now, never stopped, published ten books on my own then erased them from the markets because I wanted to start over again. It's a nice feeling, yet super hard to put your life on a new basis. Not complaining though, I enjoy being the rookie again. New ways open, new doors and windows. I am brave enough to face life and to walk tall during God's plan does its job. No doubt, something is happening right now.

Change Your Life Today

Like many of you out there, I was a huge Bruce Lee fan in my childhood and teenage years who wanted to become a martial arts master as a profession. Sadly or not, my father was highly against it. I was beaten up and attacked too, I learned the hard way that reality is so much different from the movies. Experiences on the street taught me that I have to absorb only what is useful for me, forget tradition and be brave to create my own way of defending myself and living my life.

I've always been strong (bones and muscles), God blessed me with healthy genetics. Exercise has always been a part of my life too. About diets, well, not so much. But I've always been careful and conscious about what I eat and drink. Had my cheat meals, cakes for breakies, had my partying years, yet I am 100%ly fine today at age 36.

I became a vegetarian at age 32. So you can count it is only been 4 years (technically 4 years 1 month 5 days), yet I feel better and it seems like I have had been changed my life a long time ago. I regret I haven't stepped on this path earlier like I should have researched the facts about nutrition, antioxidants, protein, and carbohydrates. What we eat and drink has a huge impact on our lives, better start taking that much more seriously. Plant-based is the way.

Transition is so short, recovery is worth it. Everything inside and outside got healthier. Hair, nails, skin, digestion. I had inflammations all over and had never thought it is because of animal-based dairy or even the meat, and the processed foods. Heart disease comes from animal products also (check out the data on the main cause of CHD - coronary heart disease). 

Improvement of blood flow and normal pumping of the heart was what I have got from changing to a plant-based lifestyle. Yes, it is not a diet to me but a complete change from one day to the other. I know now what a healthy arteria feels like and how smoothly running up that hill can go! Not to mention many other activities. Yup, after 30 I began to feel my body and most of its hard times. 

If Arnold Schwarzenegger could make a big change to his lifestyle so can you. I can not ignore the fact that cancer (prostate-, breast-, colon cancer) and type-2 diabetes also have a higher risk if you follow the animal-based eating routine. I don't care what the caveman had to eat, I am living now. Although, I have heard many kinds of research about what our human ancestors had to eat and their conclusion was: our brain needs glucose/carbs to function and the herbs and greens were (and are) much more accessible.

Being super strong is not just a fantasy when you are willing to give up the myth which has been sold to you by guerilla marketing. Real men eat what is good for their health. The real women also. Hormones are a serious deal here: estrogen, testosterone, cortisol - it matters how they can affect muscle mass and body fat. Not just white flour and sugar are the problem. Cigarettes, alcohol, processed food - the list is sadly longer.

I want other people to change their lives to the real human level. Just try living without meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products! Not going to hurt, I can guarantee you that. Not to mention secondhand smoking which I can be furious about when they say there is no risk of cancer in that. It is a lie, my dear friends! The media causes confusion, so do your own research! The meat industry alone keeps taking away the lands of wilderness to feed those who can not give up their pride and ideas. Water is also something we are running out of.

Internal defense - as I have learned - begins with what you consume. Think twice, prepare your meals to avoid hunger which can easily lead you to buy and eat fast food! 

Take action! Lead by example! Join me in this journey to change people's lives from today! The potential of the human body is limitless and when it is perfectly healthy it can assist the mind and the soul inside to focus on what matters in life.

Think about this for a second!

Snow on Earth Day and much more

April used to be the blooming of the season called Spring, right? I am officially starting to worry. Not to joke it off, this is a very serious topic which most people try not to see clearly. The whole world has changed and it was not an 'in one day' process. Sadly, we all saw it coming, yet what we did was far away from enough. Too late? I don't believe in that phrase. Never too late. When you wake up, start doing all that you can - this is what matters.

Mother Earth has her limitations on supporting and nurturing us, especially when we don't really give a flying f*ck about her needs. Not saying that the pandemic ain't slapping us back badly enough but we are still looking like not getting the whole situation here. The picture is pretty clear though. Human life goes along with responsibilities. We got the consciousness (or at least the chance is there wide open for everyone) to take good care of the rest around us, animals and nature too. What we do with that consciousness matters.

I can remember the days when we stopped heating after March has begun. Now it's the 22nd of April and the heater is on, my friends. The last winter was hot like summer and early autumn, now it's turning cold like late autumn. The poor trees and flowers did start to bloom, yet they can not get the full service when ice is falling down. Sweet Sun is doing his best to help them out.

Are you volunteering in any environmental movement like people back in 1970? Does any of it truly get to you and make you change anything in your daily life like recycling? Just a friendly reminder - you should.

Yes, I have ideas where to start and what to do even if you are in quarantine or living alone or being poor or whatever the reason why you are trying to call it off.

My list: plant! Even if it's just herbs, you can plant easily, anything you like! The second is going in pair with it: start a compost! Anything green can go in it like veggie and fruit leftovers/peels/etc. You can dig or buy the amount and type of earth you may need to create your tiny garden. Educate yourself on the topics you are interested in or feel you can do something about!

Earth Day does have an impact on our lives! Climate change and global warming are important facts we all should be clear about. We need clean air and clean water to dream on aka stay alive so we better start acting like we care! Stand up for what has to be done!

The truth always sounds inconvenient if your knowledge and willpower are having holes in them. Is that right to leave it all to teenagers to solve it and speak up? Don't any government nor industry feel shame for letting them do a grown-ass man's job?!

Time waits for no one. What already has begun - won't turn back and stay domesticated. Save what is left and do what still can be done because there is plenty!

I can not even begin the list of living beings and parts of Mother Nature that are in great danger and in need of urgent help. There are people out there, experts, who work with these issues daily, so hereby I encourage you all to start reading - hearing - FOLLOWING them!

I am not just worried but devastated about our waters. We are running out of water, literally. Rivers, lakes, seas, oceans - they are still here but in what condition and for how long? 

Human survival gets people shaken but why wait until that's going to be the touchable, daily issue? You can joke about being 100%ly grass-fed but you better start getting the terms. Cut back on the crazy dairy, the beef (or any meat) and all the trash processed 'food'. Cheap is not equal to healthy. Educate yourself on the possibilities! A little change in your life can become a huge difference in the big picture. Just saying.

2021 has just begun.

On the right track

Writing is my track and I am doing superfine walking on it again. Changes are always for the better! Let it happen! Doesn't matter the age, the gender, the race, or whatsoever - they don't really exist if you look at it close enough. We are souls, nothing more and nothing less. Pain and pleasure are both here, we have to navigate through. To all my fellow souls in any kind of trouble: it won't last forever! Reasons, consequences, lessons - all may vary but time beats them all. Nothing and nobody can control time. Well, except for God. But we certainly can not so better not to worry too much about it!

Covid-19 and its mates are still lingering here so we have to be cautious even if our minds are so full and our hearts are so fed up with any drop of it! The news are killing us just like this damned virus. What is the truth and who can we trust when it comes to numbers or vaccination? We all have to find it out from the reliable sources available, individually. Masks and sanitizers, haters, and constant bullying about it. Yet, I encourage you all to decide on your own field of consciousness! Human life has to be more than a state of mind. Keep moving forward! Eventually, it will go away.

Poor Johnny had-having his fair share of bullshaft from the lady he thought is the goddess of his dreams. Well, she wasn't. See? It can happen with truly anybody. People dream big then lose it in a minute. Why? Can't find a soulmate without knowing your true identity. Wanting to be happy is natural, yet it is a trap if you expect it from outside. Face the life! Keeping your cool is important because you can never know the other person's situation or what they are dealing with at that moment. Count 'til three, ten, or whatsoever number works for you! Passion drives us but what if goodness wins a little bit more of the lead? Are you willing to try the balance? I am here to help.

Soon another week starts and we have to fuel our days. What is it you need a tiny positive push with? Work? Family? Friends? Art? Love? School? Issues? Sickness? Survival? Name it! You can deal with life if you dare to be there. In the present. The past is over, the future has a way to go and can change at any moment. So what is left is right. Right? I'm with you, trying to find you. Can you listen? Can my words get to you? I have high hopes that they do. If life gets confusing don't panic! Step by step, we all can do this. 

Edges do look different from another point of view. Never give up! Changing our mindset is the key. Love wins over anger, just like being humble can conquer the ego. What is it to be human shows in daily actions. Educate yourself because the world needs help! We are in this together so communication and cooperation are essentials.

Think about it for a second! Live a simple life, stay strong but also stay human! Give out before getting!

Balancing between crazy schedules and cheat meals

Monday vibes can make you re-think what you took up for the whole week. I like being busy and I also have to have my quiet hours for mantra meditation and reading-writing sessions. A day is just 24 hours for me too. Not saying I can not do more or would not do more but one has to face his/her limitations every once in a while. I did face mine lately and had to change the focus to become much more productive in what I love and to stay much more healthy while saving this world.

Just kidding, nobody can save this world.

No, not even 'Thunder Force'. I adore and respect Melissa McCarthy. She is so funny I have to laugh out loud whenever she says whatever. I enjoyed all her movies and re-watching them when I am having a bad day, or when I just want to have a good laugh. She is brilliant, she is real, she is raw and that is what I love most about her. Melissa McCarthy is not made funny, she was born with it. Pure perfection.

Happy Birthday, Kristen Stewart! Little belated but with more love. You are one of a kind in every way! I take my hat off before your natural talent. I'm glad you grew your 'Twilight' genre out. I have seen some of your roles lately and have to tell you to keep going, girl! You are simply great in what you choose to be doing. Period.

I need to pay my respects and show my love for DMX. His songs I did party so hard to, many many times during my teenage years. After losing Aaliyah this loss has been the toughest to understand and accept. Music is one of the languages we all can speak and listen to without the pressure to be experts. Going to remember him for that.

What is a cheat meal and when exactly one can call his/her food like that? I think I am having just too many 'cheat meals' nowadays, better start to consider a diet, seriously. Missing both my Grandmas, they were professionals in making/baking so many kinds of cakes!

Superhumans - who are they? In my way of seeing things, those have superpowers who help others and give us hope. Those are the superhumans who can change people's lives and the way most people look at this world and the spiritual world. Our mind is a strong weapon or a good friend but we have no idea how to live in peace with it.

The mission is always possible, you just have to take it on.

Avengers Campus

Life in 2021. As simple as that. You had to choose between Team Avengers or Team Whatsoeverevil. Covid-19 and all its mutations-variations most definitely belong to that second category. Yes, we all thought after 2020 that the new year will bring us at ease. Well, nope. It is still here, it is still affecting our daily lives, it is still trying to kill us and our mood. People became totally crazy and angry and frustrated and it all looks like just getting worse. Yet, I am not a writer to state the facts. I am a writer to give out hope and to spread the pure motivation to stay sane.

There are many great adventures outside and inside too! We all can check our possibilities. Don't give up! I met some nice people lately and it gave me back the faith in humanity. Thank you all, I can fully-wonderfully feel the huge amount of gratitude flowing in my veins. 

Whether you can ride, whether you can only afford to walk - whenever you get the chance, especially if it is sunshine outdoors - just go! Be careful, take really good care of yourself and others, but move! It is truly necessary to help your body and immune system, not to mention mental health which is the core of all. 

Do you want a real-life Jurassic Park? I think we passed that, we are already living there. But it's O.K.! We can find the good in every situation, every next breath can be the last or the first of a new life. Humans got a chance with a much heavier responsibility. We have to take care of the tiny beings like animals and plants, the Mother Nature around us - yet, we are looking kinda failed. 

I'd like to play with the thought of being in the Team Avengers and I am doing the best I can daily to encourage others to join the club. What is it that you are doing? We all have things to offer we just need to be brave and stand up for what matters to us.

Decide not to be afraid anymore of your own shadow - and that's it. You can become free from the mental distress you created. Sounds heavier than what you might think you can bear? Nah, just try it with me, and all your fears are going to be gone before you count to three. Tested and true.

Build up your strength both mentally and physically! Join me on this ride and you won't regret anything that happens next!

Appetite for Revolution

What are you most excited about? What can turn your world around?

New beginnings and pure motivation give me the chills! I love the smell of a productive and sunny morning. Opening my eyes when the sun comes up feels just about right. Each day is a new chapter when I have to fulfill my duties and have fun. I don't promise any more, I prove. They say 'talk is cheap' so I began to act and show. You better watch me grow! Patience comes with wisdom, so I guess I have to work on that a little more. I have seen the places where most people never dare to look at, been at the bottom too, now I am training for the top. The top of knowledge and the top of gratitude. I am fully aware of how blessed I am and that miracles happen for a reason.

What is a revolution and why do we need it so badly these days?

In my way of seeing things, this world needs hope and inspiration more than ever! We all have a unique voice which we should add to the picture. Nothing is wrong with us, the rebellious. We were born to stand out. To live as a human being you have to give before getting, everyone had their moments of need. Have ears to hear the prayers, do what is doable by yourself, prove them wrong if you have to! Life is indeed short, shorter than you think, I tell you what! Start a revolution of the way they think! Yes, right now! Winners don't make excuses, they act how their heart tells them to.

What is the thing you desire the most?

We all have passions and dreams, we all want something to achieve, the driving force keeps pushing us forward. Human life is a gift, we all must use it well before death comes. Nowadays should be enough as a wake-up call but if you need more: start listening to the inner self, search for what lies beyond the pretty surface! Do you want to find the true goal of your life or you are going to keep hangin' around like a spider? Time won't stop, aging of the body won't stop, opportunities come and go, people come and go, grab your fortune if you see it! There might not be a second chance.

Is there anything you kept putting off? Anything you wanted to do but then just didn't do? Well, my friend, now is the time to do it! Regrets are foolish, just keep going and looking straight ahead! Life waits in front, not in the back. What happened - happened. You did the best you could, or maybe not but honestly, who cares? What truly matters is the present moment. What are you doing now? Something that you love? With someone who you love? Are you in your right direction? Only you can answer that.

Have fun in the meantime! ;)

your cheerful friend,

Find Your Element

That's not a secret that everybody wants happiness. But most people aren't willing to notice the fact about pleasure and pain walking hand-in-hand. Human life brings ups and downs, just how the place - time - circumstance triangle changes constantly.

Having fun requires a certain mindset that lets you take it easier on daily happenings. Have some more respect and gratitude in the basket! Meaning: true compassion starts where the 'me only' and 'mine only' ends. We share this world, just like we split the good and bad coming out of it. Does not matter where you live, how you look - we all have to deal with everyday problems, mistakes, failures and judgements from total strangers.

Finding your element can indicate more than just earth, water, fire, air, wood, ether, metal, etcetera. All the fields on which one must endure life. You can choose the way you speak, the way you write, the way you walk, the way you eat, the way you sleep, the way you mate, and there are so many more! When you are looking for answers and when you are willing to start the real-life then it is all beginning to come to you. Nature is teaching us, just like animals and of course, fellow human beings. It's upon us that we listen or not. Observe and survive or not. The chance is always there, the opportunities grow.

Do you have any fears about connecting with others? Do you have doubts about what and how you should do it? We are all different in the ways of opening up and getting to know each other. There is only one thing in common for sure: we must do it. Especially nowadays, when we have to keep the distance physically. 

Jump with both feet into the magical world of faith! Believe in the power of doing good to others, or even take one step towards your own self! Not easy, I can tell you that, but most definitely worth it! This is the way to find your element. We all have our thing which we are best at and whom others can also benefit from. Let it shine! Let it through the heavy curtains of self-doubt and laziness! We all want to hear your voice!

your cheerful friend,

Kata Varga
