You might be wondering what does the title of this post even mean?! Superesse means “to survive” in Latin and when you think about that word, it’s such a powerful word. It awakens so many feelings, memories, fighting spirit… At least that’s the case with me!
To survive is something that I have learned to do so well in these 28 years of my life. I had many different situations that needed special set of skills to be survived. Starting from the war times in Croatia, surviving without much food and running away from the bombs, to my mom fighting with the cancer and me being her support, shaving her hair off while making jokes in order to help her and myself to overcome that moment, to survive… After that, there were still plenty moments and situations in my life that I needed to overcome and find a way how to survive them. Fast forward, surviving became something I’ve practiced so well that it made me realise that we all have it in us! We have the tools, smarts and strength to survive anything and everything! When you put your mind into something, you make a plan, you see the goal and you keep on going in that direction no matter how many scars you’ll get on the way and how many times it will be easier to stay in the same spot and just say : “To hell with it!” You keep on walking until you reach the goal, until you have survived…
Life is not just about surviving, I always say that, life is so much more, but being able to survive and to know that there is a solution to every problem… That fact gives you a peace of mind and helps you to look at the certain situation from a “different angle”.
If you’re atm having problems and feel like there is no way out or that you’ve been thrown around way too many times by the wild rivers of life… Hold on strong, keep on going and focus on the goal… Where do you want to be? The road will unfold itself, just keep on moving not minding the obstacles.
Take this from a woman that has learned to swim out each time I get pulled down! 🙂

Evo još jedne ribice koja je itekako naučila plivati kroz raznorazna sranja, ali nema odustajanja, nema predaje, ne damo se 🙂 <3
Jaknica mi je baš fora, super ti boja paše uz lice, a bijela košuljica je predivna. Ono, stani i gledaj.
Želim ti sjajan vikend draga moja!
Hvala ti draga moja Matea! Uvik se veselim tvojim komentarima jer jako cijenim tvoje misljenje
i uvijek napises nesto sto me opet uvjeri koliko smo si slicne. 🙂
Nema predaje, mi smo rodjene fajterice i imamo onaj sibenski inat u nama koi nam ne da “na se”. 😀
Hvala ti puno na komplimentu i zelim ti miran i ispunjen vikend! :*
To be honest, Natali. I am not sure about the distressed light blue jeans. But then, I am not a jeans sort of person.
However, everything else is rather lovely.
Thank you so much Jo! I love to get an honest feedback! These jeans were a complete step outside my comfort
zone and I love to challenge myself from time to time, even if something doesn’t work out in the end, at least
I’m not being too predictable and have tried to bring something else to show in an outfit. 🙂
This outfit is pure, patch-covered fierceness! Love the frayed flared denim too!
Xoxo,

Awww! Thank you so much on these words! 🙂
Natali, thank you for your incredible open heart and for this real story of your life! I am sure that your mother can be proud of you — her refined porcelain girl with such a strong warrior spirit! Maybe this sounds weird, but I’ve thought that you are the good person with some distinctive story, it’s notably through your lines. Wish you only the best and even more!
Oh Helen… You have honestly made me tear up with this comment! Thank you so much, these words mean everything!
Much love to you!
Natali, even more, that was a miracle yesterday! I was thinking about war in my country (I’m from Ukraine) and that was a hurricane of contradictive thoughts in my head, that I refused to take. You know, all that pain, suffering, betrayal… Every single day someone very honest and generous risks his life for others… And I had prayed in my mind and then found your story! It was a great reminder that all is still under control! I had suddenly remembered the story of one 18 y.o. poor girl with wide heart, she abducted by Nazi, but could to chuck her invaders off with God’s help. When I was interviewing her, this old woman told me that even dog helped during her escape! So, you and that memories help me to understand that Heaven always cares about heroes, even if God decided to take them — it’s for better, because He gave them invaluable reward in other perfect world! ????????????
Meni je ovo predobro! Ne znam jer bih se sama odvažila na čarapice… vjerojatno ne bi, ali baš zato- tebi jedan veliki yay jer je meni ovo VRH! Baš sam preoduševljena a to mi nije nekako lako zadnjih dana! Mislim da sam i sama sebi dala predah od bloga, jer sam se prestala oduševljavati, ali vjerujem da ću se brzo vratiti! 🙂
Što se teksta tiče, sve znam i sve kužim… snaga je u nama i nema što mi ne možemo! Puno pusa i ljubavi ti šaljem! 🙂
Great look! I love it <3
