The Flying Mermaid ★



I used to write about originality in everyday life, as a human, but if you are interested in this topic, I invite you to review previous posts, because today it's not gonna be about it.
Quite long-lasting observations made me openly refer to a concerning phenomenon that appeared in the blogosphere, concretely,  to plagiarism. More and more often, I can see that on many blogs in a short period of time appear confusingly similar to each other posts, if not exactly identical. Meeting with something like that, I feel embarrassed, because to put it mildly, copying someone else's work is cheeky and rude. Apart from the fact that expropriating other person's intellectual property is a lousy thing and people who do it represent a really low level, plagiarism is primarily theft. The same as stealing something from a shop or a car from the parking lot. Theft is a theft, and a man who is divesting someone of something they have created on their own is an ordinary thief.
I myself was in a situation when a certain girl started a blog and rewrote actually all of my content, including my description of myself, and changing only the name for her own. Information about it came to me shortly after that person started spreading her website in social media, writing that she finally experienced a shot of creative inspiration and fulfills her dream of running her own blog... There were people who quickly caught the cheating delinquent, noting a shocking resemblance to the content on my site. It lasted few weeks, hundreds of versions of her explanations, that she only got inspired and didn't want to copy my texts (but she exactly did it word to word), luckily after several interventions her blog disappeared in the abyss of nothingness and didn't show up anymore and she received a stream of unfavorable opinions and bitter words from people who had read her "work".
So a few words to those who went through such a business, or just plan it... Think before you do this, because you won't achieve any success, and the theft of content created by someone else sooner or later comes to light, and your image, especially as bloggers, will be ruined, especially that intellectual property is protected by law and any violation of it, may result in more or less serious consequences, and rather nobody needs it, right?

Some people from an early age grow up in the belief that they will sacrifice their lives to work on board the aircraft. Just feel that they are made for it, that they were born to fly and can't imagine following any other path than this one. 
Others, at some point, realize that the job of a stewardess or steward simply interests them more than all other professions, they would like to try, but... They are afraid, don't know how, whether they are fit to that and what's the most important - where and how to start.

And how was it with me? What made me become a flight attendant? Did I know from the beginning that I wanted to work among clouds in the sky and followed my heart as long as I achieved it?
Well, no. Although since I remember, whenever I was on various occasions at the airport (and I traveled quite often), I stood by the window looking at the airplanes with admiration in my eyes, as if they were angels who just came down from the sky, being on board felt like in paradise, and additionally was a person who the structure and operation of almost all types of existing passenger aircraft in the world and the history of air accidents and disasters knows inside-out, I would never have thought before that I would fly, however not as a passenger, but as a cabin crew. And believe me or not, if anyone even a year ago told me that I will fulfill myself today, living literally in the sky, I would have laughed and told a man to go and see the doctor, because I think they're crazy. And yet, today I am, I'm flying, enjoying life and admire the view of the earth from a bird's eye view. So how did it happen that I decided to apply for recruitment to airlines? The story is simple and not too complicated, even quite light and a bit funny, because... To try my strength in the aviation, made me... Just one song! Yes, exactly like that, on a sunny day my headphones played a holiday (no, absolutely not Despacito, which I sincerely hate, and I know that for most of you it was the first picture of "holiday song" ) and suddenly in front of my eyes I had a vision of myself, walking through the airport in uniform and with a suitcase in my hand. Moment after that, a hurricane started to swirl in my mind, that maybe it is something for me, that maybe I should try, check myself, because I always liked to fly, actually I loved it a lot, but I didn't think about the stewardess profession, although I could. I had the good conditions, the passion, and yet never before such an idea appeared on my mind, even for a moment.
And so I started looking for the websites of various airlines in search of recruitment announcements for the cabin crew position, until finally I found something good for a beginner who has never worked in this field before, I sent my CV, soon afterwards to my great surprise I got an invitation to a multi-stage Assessment Day, which, as it turned out later, ended successfully for me and... This way with the e-mail notifying about the results of the recruitment process that came to me after eight long days of waiting and led to tears flowing from my eyes and making me cry like a baby - my flying adventure began, which very soon has become my way of life. 
Some time ago I couldn't imagine myself as a flight attendant, today I can't imagine going through life by any other way than this air and winged one. Now aviation is a part of me, something that is my oxygen, my blood and propulsion. Flying is something that gives me power, what allows me to fly up and something about what I have serious plans for the future. Because my wings are just starting to spread. 
As you can see, sometimes it's enough to take one impulse, one step to discover a calling of life. 
It was just so short time ago when I was crawling in the Irish airlines, and now I'm in the process of changing the board for the one of much higher rank, and which airline has taken me under its wings? You will find out soon ✈️

What does the blogger's life look like? Is it a fairy tale from unreal reality? Do they live like anyone else? Or is it simply tiring?

Those questions at first sight may seem insane. After all, a blogger is an ordinary person, the same as everyone who lives and breathes. And yet, I have heard these questions many many times in person, or I've read somewhere on internet forums.
So how does it really look like? Fairy tale? Ordinariness? Hassle? Is it continuous running in search of inspiration, new topics, information, places for photos? Or... As many people think, a blogger is a person who sits at home on the butt and does nothing at all, and once in a while, writes something on the laptop, throw it into the internet and that's all?
And the truth is, at least from my experience, it's neither one nor the other. There is no mad pursuit of finding a "good background" for photos, or ripping out the veins to find inspiration, even if forced, or sitting on the butt and doing nothing. There is calm, no pressure, if I have time and a good idea for a new text, I write it, and pictures... Do they always have to be done on the same day or week when the article is added? Of course not. If I followed the principle of "New post, fresh photo", I suspect that I wouldn't have ran a blog at all, especially combining it with work and family, I would only kill my mind with thinking where to go to "make a great photo today"... And yet having the own website isn't about turning it into obsession that becomes more important than all other matters. On my blog there are photos from different periods of time, one day I took it a day before adding to the blog, another month or even a year before, because I found them in the gallery and I liked them so much that I decided to publish them.
The same goes about inspiration, do I scrabble the depths of the Internet or meditate to find the inspiration? No. On the contrary, everything I write about here has a direct connection with my life, it's based on my personal experience and nothing is taken "from the air". In my planner, there is a list of dozens of topics, which I want to describe here and I know I will do it. Sometimes the idea comes under the impulse of the moment, sometimes it's saved in a notebook and waits weeks for me to find enough time to publish it, because on the contrary to what some people think, creating a blog posts doesn't take a few minutes, just sketching the Polish version takes a lot of time, then once more time to translate it into an alternative English version, so that every reader could understand, where all that needs to be put between the activities and duties of everyday life.
This is how the blogger's reality looks like. It's neither filled to the brim with black nor covered with brocade. Oh, the life of an ordinary man, not any fairy or magical creature who, apart from everyday life, still has a passion that doesn't give up despite adversity.

Hello everyone!
First of all - I know, I know, I failed. I haven't spoken to you here almost all of December, for what I am very sorry, but to be honest I couldn't sit down with my laptop and work on new posts, although I have plenty of stuff to describe and new photos and would like to show them to you, however, the lack of time has done its job. Currently, I'm going through a very difficult and busy period in my life, what is why I spent last time in... London, which is slowly becoming my new home. It was the first time in my life when the Christmas time passed to me in England. Although filled with a lot of activities, every day spent in the United Kingdom was something beautiful, at any moment I could feel the magic and atmosphere of London Christmas around me. Everywhere ornaments, lights, carolers, streets shimmering with a colorful glow, angels over our heads... Something amazing. There was no way that even the most overworked man wouldn't stop for a moment and not be impressed with the performance that was taking place around. However, I... Well, work, work, taking care of many things and only a few days left there for pleasure, such as total sacrificed to a loved one, without worries and bothering about other matters. At least these few moments in the holiday muddle could be spent only together. I hope that now you understand why I wasn't here, and if not yet, my next post will reveal to you the secret, why I have been so rare on the blog for a long time.

And now I'd like to wish you all the best in 2019, let your dreams come true, and the smile never come off your face. Happy New Year! 
