Yesterday was my birthday. At 17:20 I turned 27, but I missed the moment because I was sleeping on a sun lounger by the pool. And if I was awake, I don't think I had any emotions. And by no means greater than all the beautiful moments lived yesterday.
In the morning I set off with my boyfriend and Bianca to the Greek Domain. It was my birthday and I wanted to spend it by the pool. Yes, in the middle of the week. I hadn't made any preparations before I left home, so I quickly tossed a few towels, a book, sunscreen, and I couldn't find my full swimsuit. I do a cursory search of where it should have been, but I can't find it. I argue a little because I have one full swimsuit and I quickly take one of the two pieces out of the drawer. Luckily I'm a ridiculous person and I don't have tiny swimsuits. Just before I go out the bedroom door, I find my whole suit. I quickly throw it in my bag and feel somewhat saved.
An hour later we arrive at the beautiful Greek Domains resort. I like the quiet of the week. I choose to wear the suit in two pieces and I was glad to find that it feels really light. It was normal, I only lost a few good pounds compared to last year. But you know what it's like - until you see, you don't believe. And to be honest, I was a little under the influence of some comments received at the most recent outfit post. Sometimes it is so hard for me to ignore certain unfounded accusations that I sit and wonder endlessly if maybe I have also become misunderstood. What should I do if I am a real and extremely sensitive cancer… I put them all in my heart!
But all these thoughts quickly evaporated by the pool while I was making plans for my real holiday in Greece for a week. I miss Greece so much and I can't wait to discover the island of Aegina!
My birthday was perfect. Lots of splashing in the water, caresses of the sun as we devoured the book "100 Days of Happiness" page by page and many messages from loved ones. I don't even know when it was 18:00 and we had to run to Bucharest to continue the party with the rest of our friends. The evening ended nicely, with a lot of laughter and special memories. I didn't even get to take many pictures, but that only means that I was more present there, which is another proof that it was very nice.
Today I woke up with a smile on my face. And I opened my laptop, and Facebook to read all the nice messages I received yesterday… and I came across the video below.
And I remembered that I live in a country where diversity is not only not encouraged, but even blamed. And not because a stranger really cares about "your health", but only because you are different and thus provide a topic for discussion. Aren't these promoted aesthetic standards that many people tend to strive for just to fit into the landscape? Why can't we have a picture full of different elements in which everyone has their place and there can really be harmony? Why instead of worrying about our own personal development and being inspired by the success stories that really matter, we care about how much space the hen in the neighboring yard takes up, and especially where that hen came from and how many grains she eats a day. ?
I wish you to be happy and feel beautiful!

It is very easy to judge, especially since often the evils addressed to others are not passed through the filter of thought. Don't be discouraged! You are a wonderful person and you deserve the best! Kiss you! : - *
Thank you, Julia! At the moment I am very motivated and I focus on my goals, but I admit that there are moments when I am upset. The sad part is that I am upset by others. Kiss you!
The way you feel depends a lot on the way you perceive yourself, on the relationship you have with the mirror. Personally, I would like to have 10 kg less and not to fit in a template, but because I was like that and I know how damn good and majestic it is for me how easy it is to find nice clothes for put all the advantages on you. But if you feel good the way you are, all the respect. Things about weight and physical appearance are relative. It's like I don't like chocolate, even though everyone loves it. If you don't want to be thin and love your body, it's perfect!
It's not about not wanting to be weak or not, but about not being unhappy because of others. I refuse with all my being that another person (and especially a totally unknown one) be the reason for my unhappiness. If I have any dissatisfaction, I prefer it to come from me and assume it. Because no one assumes anything in my place. The exercises I do at the gym are getting harder and harder. And I keep saying that it's worth it, that this is how I will get results, that I have to work harder and harder and that I can do that. And at the end of training I am proud of myself. Even if nothing is seen immediately. And then someone comes and puts a label on me completely nonsense, as if it hits me in the head. I sincerely hope you reach your goal. I really know how hard it is, but every little step will get you closer to what you want. Good luck!
Thanks, too. surely the respective exercises will help you, not to lose your confidence in them and your patience. And happy birthday with many joys!
Let's be realistic - you can't love your body when you're bombarded with various remarks. Or at least I can't. I'm tired of hearing that I'm too white, that I have too much cellulite or my bottom is too big. Nowadays, if you do not have 1.80 m and 42 kg, you are only good at swinging, because you chose to be born a little different and because you have no feelings.
But you are so beautiful from all points of view !!!! <3
You are a wonderful person and you do not have to take into account the evils of others. It is very easy to judge those around you, and this is just a proof of the frustrations that grind them. Many kisses and keep it up: *: *: *
Thanks, Irina! I would like people to be more open and have a less aggressive attitude towards people who look different. Different in every sense. I kiss you and thank you!
Eh you have a few extra pounds, I don't have breasts :)) big deal… People comment, but the wickedness is unstoppable… and we don't have to bow our heads to everything we hear… And I say it ... that your problem is solvable , you can lose weight, mine is endless :)) the breasts stopped growing from 2 lei :)) So I'm waiting to be a mom and maybe-maybe I'll be lucky to stay with biiig boobies :))) Be strong Ioana 😛 Ti pup: *
If you knew how many times I wanted to have smaller breasts, in fact how many times I wanted to have anything smaller. In the end we are perfect as we are and we must enjoy everything we have. I kiss you and thank you for your support!
Ioana, I wish you once again a happy birthday and I'm glad you had such a beautiful day! 🙂 I like how you subtly put the full stop on i.
Thank you, Oana! Kiss you
Happy birthday, Ioana! I'm glad you had a beautiful day and I liked the message of the post, our happiness should never depend on the labels that foreigners put on us.
Thanks, Georgia! and I'm glad my message got it right. I kiss you and I'm waiting for you!
Hey Ioana! Happy birthday and I wish you good health and happiness!
I'm new to you on the blog, I discovered you the moment I searched on google for information about Phillips Lumea and I added you to the bookmark!
By the way, I saw before and after pictures with your new hair color. I want to tell you that your blonde looks much better! It seems to suit you better and you made a good choice!
I read the article with the outfits and I want to say that those vicious comments went through my heart. It hurt me to see how bad the world can be and made me feel so horrible by the fact that I judge people a few years ago (Well, I was a kid and I think we're all naughty in adolescence and we think we're the navel of the fair), but I was shocked to see people in all their nature, like that "lady" doctor, who, only professionally, did not express himself. Sin.
All I want you to do is wake up every morning and go to bed every night with the ambition of not letting go of what you do! I will be here as the new reader and supporter.
And not only me, but also the rest of the readers, I hope, will support you!
I'm glad you're ambitious and determined! Be positive and focus on those who love you as you are, no matter what changes.
Think of those around you as a bowl of good cherries and cherries with worms. You take the broken cherries and throw them away without paying attention to them and focus only on the good ones!
Kiss you and have a beautiful summer!
Haha .. I really liked the analogy with cherries and I will really take it into account because it is a valuable and very practical advice. Thank you for the beautiful thoughts, to know that they have reached the right place and will stay for a long time. I am happy that there are people like you, open and optimistic, empathetic and who have the courage to take action. I kiss you and I will look forward to any sign from you! : *
Happy birthday, Ioana! Be healthy, like you do the rest! And you do them very well! 🙂
Kiss you!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Lory. Kiss you!
Happy Birthday! Don't pay attention to bad people, think that what they say has more to do with them than with you. They also have frustrations and problems and if they treat others that way, you realize how they treat them.
If I can give you some advice for the holidays: I was recently in Aegina and it is very, very beautiful. But it's a bad little island, so if you go by car from here, it would be best to leave it in the parking lot in Athens and walk there on a scooter or bicycle (well, being about a lot of delights it might be easy hard sometimes.I had scooter: D). If you need any ideas, advice, I will be happy to help you: *
