creative Saturday

Dear angel,

According to a Greek phrase a good day starts with a good morning. Despise the fact that I am Greek I am a truly believer of that phrase simply because no matter what happens afterwards you know you have had a good day. There's nothing more relaxing to do on a Saturday morning than read a really good book, listen to some old good jazz music and write a few thoughts, poems, quotes or stories while laying in bed for plenty hours..

Don't forget to smile,

nightdreaming

{ Serres, Greece }

Dear angel,

The clock says 4 a.m. but I can't sleep. Not right now. I've always loved those quiet night hours.The black sky in cooperation with that priceless silence worth way more than people can realize. Together they create something so poetic and inspiring. They're the simple things that matter to me a lot. Things such as how nice the city looks from the balcony right now or how quiet everything seems to be. I'm way too affected by the view in front of my eyes. Everyone's seems to be sleeping but not me. Writing is the only thing I am sure I want to do for the rest of my life. It's funny how most people don't realize the true power of it. The power of taking you in places you wish where, saying the things you always wanted to tell to those people that truly matter. You might not be able change something you've done in the past but you can always give it the end you secretly wished it had. It takes you in magic places you've never been before. As you can see, writing is my one and only escape from the world we live in.

Yours truly,
MacQueen98.

books n peaches

{ First week of August // Touzla, Greece }

Dear angel,

I've had a lovely afternoon today. After the typical wake up - go to the beach - swim at the sea morning combo I came back home slightly tired. There was nothing better for me to do than consider this as a serious excuse to spend a ridiculous amount of time reading a book. This time I've decided to be a bit fancier than usual though by pairing my natural habitat with a tasteful fruit. Peaches are one of my ultimate go-to fruits for summer. The time went by so quickly with me flipping around my book's pages while tasting a fruit's sweetness.

Don't forget to smile,

Thank You: A special letter to all 10.000 of you

Dear angel,

I hope you're doing well. Although today's Sunday I do have a few things that I'd like to share with you. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am right now. Thanks to all of you we hit 10.000 views in less than two years. It's insane to even think that ten thousand human beings all around the world have spent a few moments of their life reading something that I wrote. Words can't even begin to describe everything that I feel right now. I can't stop smiling. When I first started my blog about one and a half year ago a lot of things (that I'm not much comfortable sharing with you yet) where happening at my life. "Things" that almost broke me. "Things" that made me realize how important life truly is. Thing ms that made me crave an escape from everything that was going on. On February 26th 2016 this place also known as MacQueen98.blogpost.com was found. This blog has had a special place in my heart since day one and still does.

Thank you, for your constantly love and support.
Thank you, for all the time you spent at this platform.
And lastly thank you, for the smile you put on my face.

Yours truly,

MacQueen98.

embrace your difference

Dear angel,

Today's letter is a phrase, a saying, a quote and a slightly different piece of art of mine so please be honestly kind.

There's nothing wrong
with being and thinking
different from the masses.
Not being brave enough
to embrace the only thing
that separates you
and makes you unique
and different from the others
is the only thing that's truly wrong..

Don't ever be afraid of being yourself and being different,

xoxo MacQueen98.

homemade cupcakes

Dear angel,

Today was lovely. There's nothing better to do on a late fall Sunday morning than baking. My mother and I had such a great time together. From the first years of my life baking was one of my ultimate favorite things to do with my mother. It's amazing how you can spend some quality time with someone you truly love while doing something fun and beyond delicious at the same time. We prefer our cupcakes without a frosting so we just kept them simple and pared them only with some powdered sugar. With that being said here's our version of the globally well known "chocolate cupcakes".

Don't forget to smile,

xoxo MacQueen98.
