Let's start again

December 8, 2025 • 3 min to read

I’m starting to write again after a long break. In this post, I share why I needed to return, my thoughts on escaping short-form content, and what you can expect from this blog: reflections on life, people, travel, and personal growth.

There’s never going to be a “perfect” moment to start. So I’m starting today. This is my moment,  the point where I decide to write to you again. This blog is still a bit messy and sprinkled with traces of my previous life, but honestly, I don’t care. I want to write without pressure, without the feeling that everything has to be perfect and polished.

Why am I doing this? Because I’m tired of short-form everything. Creating it or consuming it is exhausting. I’m left feeling empty and unsatisfied when Instagram insists that a video must end at a specific second or when a post outgrows the character limit. And I feel like I have to stop to obey those rules or I’ll burst! I want space to express myself, to share my thoughts and stories without being boxed in.

I know this space won’t be for everyone. And that’s perfectly fine. I don’t need “everyone” here. I want people who are searching for something  and maybe my words will help them get closer to whatever that is. Or perhaps the opposite: maybe they’ll step back, gain a new angle, and realize the answer was sitting beside them all along.

If you like to slow down, contemplate life, and stay curious about its beauty, then welcome - come wander through my thoughts.

I’m actually writing this right after talking with a friend of mine, to whom I’m incredibly grateful. It’s so important to surround yourself with people who help you grow wings,  who make you want to fly. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

So what can you expect here? I’ll be sharing experiences from different corners of my life. I’ll write about people, communication, and little social observations. Education will show up too, because lately it’s been taking up a big part of my world. There’ll be yoga and reconnecting with the body. I’ll bring you along on my travels and reflect on what I’ve lived through:  cultures, people, moments.

It’s going to be a mix of many things, but they all have one thread in common: reflection. I invite you to join me on this journey, where we’ll explore the quieter corners of our minds and hearts.

And if you don’t know me yet,  I’m a champion of fresh starts and all sorts of changes. So don’t get too attached to anything I wrote in the paragraph above. Lately I’ve learned that I love following whatever life brings. It doesn’t mean I hate planning. There’s a “controlling Renia” inside me who absolutely adores organizing things. But I’ve managed to soften her a bit, and now I only plan what truly needs to be planned.

And here on this blog? I don’t have to do anything. My vision for this space might shift completely and I’m okay with that. I’m giving myself permission to change, even celebrating it, because every change holds a chance to grow and understand myself better.
