As I’m trying to figure out what I will do with my life in 4 months, once my year of volunteering in VCS will be over, I find myself doing a lot of self-reflections. What am I supposed to do with my life? Why is life so confusing? What is my place in the world? […]| VOICES
Do you like karaoke, singing in the shower, or anywhere you can? Do you play any instruments or write lyrics? What if the songs you listen to could define your personality? Everyone likes music: there are no exceptions. We all react to music in some way: singing, humming, or tapping our feet to the rhythm. […]| VOICES
It’s well known that travelling from one country to another isn’t always easy; depending on the agreement between the two countries or current qualifications, some countries may require passports and visas from others.

U bë kohë pa shkruar. Qëllimisht kam refuzuar Çdo valë frymëzimi. Kam heshtur, u jam fshehur Fletëve, stilolapsave, Tastierave dhe gjithçkaje Ku mund të shkruhet. S’kam dashur të zhytem Në ndjenja që s’dua t’i dua. Unë jam shumë e vogël Për ta përballuar këtë dallgë, Veshur në pikla kripe, Që përpin Tiranën E jo më […]| VOICES
It’s been a while since I wrote. Deliberately I have refused Every wave of inspiration. I’ve been silent, hiding From papers, pens, Keyboards and everything, Where one can write on. I never wanted to dive Into feelings I didn’t want to want. I am far too small To withstand this wave, Dressed in beads of […]| VOICES
