The "people-self".

I like to be alone.

When I am alone I feel strong and confident as to who I am and what I want. I am ok with this self.

When I'm with people, everything bounces off of them and mirrors back to me. I see my other self that I don't like. That's why I like to be alone.

A clue to my sorrow

My sorrow is about this: nobody tought me how to be happy and how to be sad. How to enjoy the times of succes and times of defeat. That is it.

Back to the Business

Hi. I just returned from Syberia. Yes, that's right - from Syberia. A three week long journey across Asia to Ulan-Ude and back. One way by train, the other by plane.

I wanted to take a break from everything, and I did. I did so much of this taking a break that I got tired andwanted badly to come back home. Simply put it turned out that I became an urban animal. I missed the shower (in Russian countryside you have these little bath houses) , tv, cinema, McDonald's (sic!) and few square meters of my own.

All in all I got exhausted by this trip. And I see it is good :). It did realx me from my temporality. Actually inspite of discomforts of journeying like this (it was a low cost, tramping) I became convinced of their strong educative character. It is not necessarily only about a place where you are currently travelling but also, or even mostly about the people you travel with or meet along the way. You learn from them, and not so much from the places you visit.

Well, I came back to a new job; Went back to work; Back to a regular life. If you could only see the photos I made during my trip. Maan. Anyway...

- No, I am not sad. Sadness does want to get me though. I can fell her. But I won't let her. She owes me a break at least.
