Interests


Writing

The trees at winter look like vains that feed the air. Like roots that turned the other way. Don't look like that, just go and see, when looking at the nature you might see me. We are all one, energy and flesh from the same gem. And that's not strange it's another way, to see that, we're all around and vibrate like waves, so let's go and float and not just gaze. By E.O.

Reading

The biggest power one can have, and the sweetest gift one can get.

Dancing-LindyHop

Dancing is like flying, one minute you are on the ground and the next you are in the air.

Macro Photography

When I was young I was told that the world expands only upwards, but then I looked in a microscope and discovered a brand new world. And it fascinates me how many details the world consists of.
