Dreams That Aren’t Mine

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
  Ever since I was little, I’ve heard stories—of great successes, of glorious victories, of bright worlds waiting to be conquered. I was raised with the idea that dreams are our guiding light, that they are the engine of life, that we move forward through them. But over time, I began to feel that some of those dreams weren’t mine. They seemed to belong to someone else, to an image built from the expectations of others—of society, of family. They were foreign to my heart, yet I carried them like armor that protected me but also weighed me down and held me back. This was one of the most painful truths I had to accept—that many of the dreams I had chased weren’t born of my soul. They were someone else’s dreams, imposed by the outer world, by voices I heard before I had the chance to hear my own. At first, it was hard to admit this. We all want to be loved and accepted, and often we’re willing to sacrifice our own desires just to be approved. My life felt like a journey guided by map...

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

 The quote, 'A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song', is attributed to Maya Angelou, the famous poet and civil rights activist. This statement holds a profound meaning and has relevance in various aspects of our lives. In this post, we will explore the essence of this quote and its implications in our lives.

The quote implies that singing or #creatingart is not always about conveying a message or answering a question. Instead, it's about #expressing oneself in a manner that is #unique and personal. It highlights the fact that there is an innate human desire to #create, to #expressoneself, to be heard and seen, and that the act of #creating is not always for a specific purpose.

Birds are known for their melodic songs, and their singing is not always tied to a specific function. Their songs are often sung for the sheer joy of singing, for expressing themselves, and for communicating with others. Similarly, humans also have the innate desire to create and express themselves, and art is one way of doing so.

#Art, in all its forms, is an expression of #creativity, and it allows us to communicate our thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a way that is unique and personal. It is a way of creating something that is not always tied to a specific function, but rather something that comes from within and is a #reflection of our inner selves.

Maya Angelou's quote also highlights the fact that art is not always about giving answers, but rather about asking questions. It is about exploring the world around us and expressing our #ideas and thoughts in a way that #inspires others to do the same. Art has the power to move people, to #challenge them, and to inspire them to create their own art.

Art, in all its forms, has the power to transcend boundaries, to connect people from different cultures and backgrounds, and to create a shared experience. It has the power to bring people together, to create a sense of #community, and to inspire social change.

The act of #creatingart is also an act of #selfdiscovery. Through the process of creating, we learn more about ourselves, our #strengths, and our #weaknesses. It is a way of exploring our inner selves and expressing what we find there.

#Artists often create without a specific #endgoal in mind. They create because they are compelled to do so, because they have a #vision, a #dream, or an #idea that they want to bring to life. They create because they have a song that they want to sing.

In conclusion, Maya Angelou's quote, 'A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song,' is a powerful reminder that art is not always about giving answers, but rather about expressing ourselves and exploring the world around us. It is about creating something that is personal and unique, and that has the power to inspire and connect people. Art is a way of discovering ourselves and #sharing our experiences with others. It is a reminder that we all have a song to sing, and that we should never be afraid to share it with the world.

Are You Ready?

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

   Are You Ready? To receive abundance, love, and your own greatness? I sit in the stillness of the morning. I feel something rising from within—like a tide I cannot stop. A thought, a feeling, a realization. I hear it again and again: “Are you ready?” This question doesn’t come from the outside. It is born from the depths of the soul—that quiet yet powerful part of us that knows far more than the mind. Am I ready for the abundance that is already approaching? Am I ready for True Love , the one I’ve long prayed for and yearned for? Am I ready to receive that which I’ve asked for... even when it comes in a way I never expected? Receiving is also a choice Many people believe the spiritual path is only about giving up—desires, attachments, the material world. But there is another phase—perhaps even harder: Being ready to receive. To allow abundance into your life, without sabotaging it. To accept love, without hiding behind the fear of getting hurt. To live joyfully...

The Gardener’s Lesson - The Power of Slow, Steady Dedication and Patience

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya
 In life, we often seek quick results, immediate successes, and visible changes. But true magic, real achievement comes from another quality — patience and the persistence of the gardener. The gardener is a teacher who shows us the lesson of slow and systematic dedication — of committing to a cause with daily work, love, and care. He knows that not every seed sown will sprout immediately, that growth is a process requiring time and attention. This lesson is about that perseverance which remains invisible at first but forms the foundation of every true accomplishment. It is a lesson about overcoming the "lack of immediate effect" — when there is no result, but despite that, a person continues doing what they feel is their calling, their gift. Because a true calling is not measured by the speed of success but by the depth of dedication. The world around us often emits confusion, fear, uncertainty that can distract us from our path. But the gardener is not influenced by the m...

Don't Pull the Flower to Make It Grow Faster: Bulgaria and the Path to the Eurozone

By Anelly Aya Anelly Aya

There are processes that cannot be forced. Processes that cannot be accelerated without serious consequences. One of them is natural growth — whether it be of a person, a people, or a nation. When we pull the flower to make it grow faster, we don’t help it develop — we tear it. The same is happening today with Bulgaria and the issue of entering the Eurozone. When There’s No Time to Mature Every society has its own rhythm of maturity — economic, social, cultural. And Bulgaria is in a phase where it needs awareness, dialogue, and public participation in deciding on such a profound change as losing its national currency. But instead — we are being pressured. Politicians and institutions are racing to present “readiness” to European commissions, even when that readiness isn’t real. Reports are manipulated, numbers are dressed up, and the voice of the people is silenced. The fear of a referendum says it all: not because they don’t know what we’ll say — but because they know exactly what...
