IT TOOK ME YEARS TO UNDERSTAND:
Collective liberation has many perspectives.
Only doing the inner work – separately, in our atomic households – won’t be enough.
We need community. We need connection. We need to take various collective actions to fight oppression where we see it.
But there’s that inner work, too. Profound. Slow. Rarely easy. Never comfortable.
But always always always worth it.
As a political commentator who talks about different forms and systems of external oppression, I’m also interested in my own personal transformation. In this platform, I share with you tools, frameworks, authors, and anything of value I have found to lead a life of authenticity.
Imperfectly, yes – but to do it any way.

Poland: Linguistic Adventures in The Exotic South
(Yes, I will begin again my promoting some band I’ve recently discovered. In my head, it is related to this entry as it was one of pieces of the soundtrack of my bus ride. How much sense it makes for you is something I refuse to question) Fighting laziness and catching up with writing: once…

Berlin + Buses + BFFs
During an eighteen-hour bus ride I found some time to reflect on matters deeper than how come the vast majority of movies on the bus TV are so shit. As the wheels of my Vilnius-Berlin bus were turning, not only did I watch Inception for the 4th time, but also I remembered a conversation I…

“Quickly, to the Music Festival!”
Even before being forced to watch Yes Man, I had developed one of my “mottos”: When in doubt, say yes. I developed it very quickly and absolutely artificially: I wisely constructed it while filling my profile info at Hostelworld’s site. I don’t like the idea of having mottos, yet it seems that filling profile questionnaires…

Nelijärve Series No.3: It’s Getting Less And Less Relevant
My last blog entry was painfully long. I admit that, I knew it as I was writing it, and thus I will try to keep this one short. Enough with the intro, let’s do this thing. Keyword here: ageism. In Nelijärve, we discussed sexism, racism, heterosexism and other types of –isms, however, ageism (discrimination or…

Nelijärve Series No.2: Just Like James Blunt Says
Geographically, my blog entries make less and less sense each time. I wrote about Thailand when I was in India, finished my India entries at home, and now I am about to polish this post while waiting for my bus in Berlin. I saw a lot of beautiful people there. Let this sentence be the…

Nelijärve Series No.1: Why Celine Dion Comes to Mind
This is neither any kind of déjà vu that you might be experiencing, nor it is horrible forgetfulness on my part. I have already written about a youth exchange project that took place in Estonia and…the super brief description of these upcoming entries could be exactly the same. However, this time its topic changed from…
MORE ABOUT ME
My name is Justina, nice to see you here.
I’m a political commentator, travel, language, and pet enthusiast, an educator, and someone who has a deep desire to share valuable resources with others.
Because I know too well what it means to not be living out of your values: not to speak out, not to bring your full you to work, and not to do what’s truly meaningful to you. I’ve been there myself and I know what it does to your soul.
If you’re there, I want to help YOU to leave by sharing different tools and frameworks ❤️
