just something i wrote for my blog.... in a moment when I was actually very very deep down in the dark.

1. Taking off my shoes to walk on cobblestones and feeling history with my bare feet.
2. Interesting looking people. People who bring Harajuku to central Europe, 50 something women with long purple hair, men with style (but not too much style). If I was a dictator, I would make random dress codes. Life would be much cooler if it looked like Lady Gaga’s video.
3. Travelling by train on moonlit nights.
4. Contemporary Russian music…. Russian language amplifies moods and feelings. Forget about French being language of love. Russian sounds much more softer and sensual. But they can make angsty songs that are yelled on top of the lungs… and you believe they really really are angry as hell.
5. People with a story. People who make me think. Who make me laugh… about wrong things.
6. First step on foreign ground after long exhausting travel. The foreign air is almost intoxicating. It is not just the sleep deprivation. It is magic in happening.
7. Cats. Despite all their cuteness and cuddliness you still know you are holding a beast of prey in your hands. And you know why Egyptian worshipped them.
8. Sun on my skin in summer, when I can almost feel as being charged with cosmic energy.
9. Metropoles… with their crowds of people, each of them a story. Where you can be wonderfully anonymous. Life is fast, almost too fast and intense. Energies are materialized. One can feed for them.
10. Dancing to forget… like nobody is watching… getting lost in the beats and hearing the music through my skin… In fact, I only dance to forget. Rembember it when you see in me in a club.
11. Seeing the stars when away from the “civilization”. I am a city girl, and at times I tend to forget how sky with stars looks like. So to be somewhere away from burning city lights and see the starlit sky is always a wow moment.
12. The flash of inspiration when all of sudden things make sense… and I feel like a creator of the meaning.
13. Capturing a perfect picture with my camera. It almost feels like I preserved bit of every passing time. The moment is there. I can always go back to it… and feel almost the same intensity as I felt in the moment.
14. Good food. Does not matter if it is sushi or hungarian sausage at some street festival. Healthy or not, has to be enjoyable and enjoyed.
15. The sea with all it’s moods. Body surfing in waves. Storms while you are on ferry somewhere in northern Norway. Bluest shade and calm in mediterrean (to turn wild and unpredictable next day, waves crushing on the cliffs widly…). Life came from the sea… so I guess I feel like I was just born when I thrust myself into its arms.
