CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to be a worthy grandson of my decedent grandmother. She loved all children in the world. She lived in poverty, but she was always ready to help others. She felt other's pain like her own. She was saint.

ABOUT ME

I love slowly good music, like blues, and something of harder rock styles.
I would like to travel more.
I would like to know more languages, but my memory is too weak to remember all these new words, rules, grammar, ... it would be nice if we could talk mentally :-)
I'm trying to learn everything new and to apply this in my daily life.

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to be a wind in a forest. I would like to travel without country boundaries, without language barriers, to breath a fresh air of the green tree leaves. I want too much for a human.
I would like to come back to my childhood and stay there, not because I want to change something in the past, but rather I would like to have a clear mind, not polluted with other's ideas, mass media, TV, social relationships, desires, just pure happiness and love.
I know, that's too much for an adult.
I wish others to be happy and I want to help them, even if I don't know how :-)

My favorite transport for many years is a bycicle. I use it all year round even when its rain, wind, snow or ice. I dont' use only when it is broken, I am broken or there is a temperature below -17 or above +30 Celsius. You can see my city ride shots here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ArtyomKonovalenko
