Continue reading →: Exploring Lithuania©
“On one hand, I understand that you’re here and seeing you on this bus does feel natural somehow, but on the other hand, it all feels so surreal!” – I was telling my good college friend who came to visit me in Lithuania this August. We were on our way…

Continue reading →: France (Nice): Fake Arrogance of a Fake Local
After I said goodbye to my sister, I did what I‘ve been successfully doing for years now: I was slowly going home, as I like to call it. In this case, going back to Lithuania from Ireland happened to be through Nice and then a bit of Italy. This route…

Continue reading →: Ireland: a long-awaited apology
The first time I visited Ireland was back in 2007, the summer before my freshman year in college (yes, now you can more or less successfully calculate my age). “Ah, finally, after all those years of English, I’m going to an English-speaking country for the first time…” I thought, naively,…

Continue reading →: Attention, Detention
“I know why she’s here: she has a dangerous amount of shoes in her suitcase” – a man pointed to a young girl, probably his relative, resulting in laughs – or smiles at least – in the waiting hall in Ben Gurion airport. That waiting hall, interestingly, was not the…

I know it’s the end of January and reflecting on 2013 seems somehow…too late (yeah, no more thoughts of what has happened in the past!). And yet, since ‘less procrastination’ didn’t make it on my new year’s resolution list (making the list haven’t made it to my previous list so…

Continue reading →: It’s All About Kindness, Isn’t It?
A good friend recently interviewed me about my not-so-recent time in Thailand. There were plenty of cases of going off on tangents, of course, us remembering our summer and planning some sweet time ahead. Her last question, however, was back to the point. She asked me about the things I’ve…

Continue reading →: A Great Leap to the East (OK, it’s not that great, not that much to the East either)
I’m glad I’ve been procrastinating and brewing some ideas for this entry, since I’ve read a great article (http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/what-happens-when-you-live-abroad/) recently which caused a lot of self-analysis and reflections. It’s a really interesting phenomenon: this piece is well written, it presents beautiful ideas, and I think for some people reading it can…

Continue reading →: Look, a meaningless post!
Although I have dedicated one blog entry to my time home and could technically calmly proceed with something that resembles actual updates of what I’m doing now, there is one more thing I want to share with you. It’s always more about me wanting to tell people stuff than others…

Continue reading →: My Apology to Belgium
Not so long ago (what an irrelevant piece of information in a blog!), I had a small Ramallah reunion, as I’d like to call it, in Brussels. Was it as eye-opening as my time in Ramallah? Can’t say so. And yet, it was eye-opening in this one particular respect that…

Continue reading →: Jordan! Petra: Camels, Accents, and How Keane and Shaggy Come into Picture
What do you do in Jordan if you have a couple of days here? You go to Petra. If someone tries to argue – I’m sorry, my counterargument is only this: it would be freakin’ idiotic not to go to Petra. Although the entrance fee quickly inspires backpackers to come…
My name is Justina
Nice to see you here!
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 – oh yes? And with silliness where appropriate (well, or not).
More about me here.
