  • Through the Unknown

    What’s a mystery from your own life that you’ve never solved? A mystery can be something unknown or misunderstood, most of the time unwillingly but sometimes willingly. It can differ from person to person, what’s known to another person can be a mystery to me. I think with time life has become a bit underwhelming…

  • Empty lane

    “I prefer to walk from the bus stop to the apartment building. Whole day sitting at the desk, feeling almost stuck to that chair, you realise you need to move literally and also otherwise.
