International Women's Day
'Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power …

still the rose
We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls
"You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man"
Because I am female
I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices
Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
And we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls to each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
In the way that boys are
Feminist: the person who believes in the social
Political, and economic equality of the sexes
I also truly believe in Chimamanda’s Ngozi Adichie words from her speech on feminism (TED) repeated in Beyonce’s Flawless song.
ENJOY THE SUPERPOWER LADIES!

I love such views and you?
Uwielbiam widok z gór na wzgórza, budynki i morze, zwłaszcza jak wokół jest ciepło, zielono, słonecznie…czego więcej trzeba?
Nie tylko wdrapaliśmy się na wzgórza Frigiliany (co wcale nie było takie znowu proste ;)) ale mieliśmy okazję cudownie zjeść delektując się zachodem słońca i przepięknym widokiem z okien restauracji El Mirador.
We spent there a lovely evening having a great time at EL Mirador restaurant.
Check this out when you’ll happen to be in Frigiliana.
let's go outside
I was born and raised in Gdańsk. Studied for some years abroad.
I live in Warsaw for 10 years now.
I cannot believe how much has changes during the last decade in my life.
And in the city - of course!
Here comes the spring - let’s go outside!

btw. more pics from the Intercontinental Hotel are here.
Zostałam urodzona i wychowana w Gdańsku. Studiowałam i pomieszkiwałam za granicą.
Ale od 10 już lat mieszkam tutaj - w Warszawie.
Jak o tym pomyślę nie mogę uwierzyć jak wiele się w tym czasie zmieniło w moim życiu, i w mieście naturalnie!
Idzie wiosna - czas wyjść na zewnątrz!
