CURRENT MISSION

stop being afraid of life

ABOUT ME

sometimes I'm boring, sometimes funny;sometimes I can talk for hours, sometimes don't say a word for weeks; appreciate independence as well as good company; often am too serious but never lose a chance to goofy around;
wish the world was non-smoking, sober, vegetarian. don't fancy the world without kids, litterature, visual arts, dancing.
try to live Here-and-Now. try to follow Slow way of life(for me that means: quality above quantity, enjoying the process regardless of the result, giving sense to every moment of life)
I would prefer
reading a book to going to a night club;
walking to going by car;
living in a village to living in a big city;
having a cat to having an iphone;
day to night;
Mars to Snickers...
But I have to warn you - I'm constantly changing))

PHILOSOPHY

try to be better than yesterday)
keep your options open)
growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional)
never regret, but learn lessons)
you make choices every second of your life - all you need is just to be responsible for them)
