I remember when I first met Andreja, it was a lecture of italian grammar or something similar. I realised immediately that this girl is the coolest one in class. It happened that we clicked and our friendship is still on from the beginning of the first year of university while we were studying together. She is such an inspirational young woman, there is always something going on in her life that I've told her million times to write a book (she's also a great writer, you can have a sneak peak down here!). Smart and witty, full of good jokes and very playful, she knows how to have fun living everyday life. She loves to laugh and with her you can forget the word boredom. Wonderful person full of talents, what can I say more.

Waking up, going to the bathroom and rinsing my face with water. It is so simple: feeling alive and foolish is the realization of love; the love to grin and not smile and that is all that you need. Women that feel comfortable have to smile broadly. It shows their confidence and freedom of being. Your funny sensitive reflection in the mirror. Vulnerability is one of the most attractive features in a woman. It is not being strong and having to prove something towards others. Perfection is to know when to listen, to be empathic. The power of letting your childish side out and dropping little humorous, sometimes inappropriate comments. Loud laughter, silliness and sensibility: The Beauty of champions. For me there are days when I play some forgotten new wave 80's music or a band with maybe 100 views on youtube dancing in my underpants. Other days I can write nonsense until small hours to transform it into eloquent reading material. In these moments I don't need to explain myself neither my words to others - I reach completeness. I would love a world where you did not hear remarks “I don’t get it” because the greatness of everything is in the irrational, of not comprehending every syllable. I'm sort of an idealist and a dreamer.
There is always a point in your life when you idolize someone or something, no one is really immune to media and I never met a “human being” that didn't want to be called »pretty« (cats feel like goddess all the time, on the other hand). I don't believe in that inner beauty philosophy much, it is more of what makes the person when they open their mouths. It can make the most gorgeous person appalling and someone else a true looker, but this are already categorizations and we all have different concepts on seeing someone. I only fear that all will lead to the level of instant soups; when you watch TV, read a magazine, see a film it is as clones have taken over the world; a distraction that makes us less aware of being ourselves, making comparisons about our noses rather than transfiguring our everyday “bullshit” into stories and amusing small talks. On one side, you have to fit in society and on the other, you desire alternative- to be interesting and special. Both are illusion to me as we all experience the bright and the dark side (whatever that even means), we all deserve the right of having a bad day- a bad hair day, not communicating or simply talk about how much oranges cost these days on the market. I never had the need to be perfect, it's impossible to even think about that, as if someone would order me to watch all films in the world ever made. That would ruin my cinematic enthusiasm forever. The big screen, the darkness, crying, laughing, listening to absurd dialogs, seeing flesh on flesh, love and hate so close and then going home, in the night and overthinking the words and images in your head. A rollercoaster of emotions. I recommend that to all women. Moreover, to dance and grin more. Well, always.
