on travelling alone

(текст на русском - ниже)

travelling is the most extraordinary activity for me. i do not dream of having an expensive car or a huge house, but i do constantly dream of travelling on a regular basis. i want to see the world, i want to explore it, i want to feel it, i want to create impressions and memories. and yes, i want to write about all of it. frankly speaking, my experience with travelling is a proof of my belief that my life consists of extreme contradictions. travelling alone is a whole other thing, and it is something i started doing at a very young age. i have been thinking of writing a text about this subject for a very long time and i am excited to finally share it with you.

five books in eight days

today i would like to tell you about the books that i read and to remind you that i started using good reads this year, so you can follow my reading progress here.

when i wrote "writing has been my solution from a very young age. everything that had happened and had mattered a lot to me, had to be documented in this or that (written) way. it is a meditation for me, it is a medication for me", i actually had to use "words" instead of "writing", because it is the power of words, that save me. both reading and writing is my remedy from everything. words are my favourite company, my guards and my heroes. they are always there for me in the form that i am free to choose. when i feel like i am full of thoughts - i write, when i feel empty and lost - i read. it sounds magical, but no matter what the problem is, i always feel better after doing one of those things. perfect solution? doing both.

so, a little bit more than a week ago i had to buy a present for a friend, i knew right away i would buy her a book. for a second, i wondered whether i would not be boring by making this obvious choice, but then realized that i am always happy to get a book and she is the same. a book i bought and, i hope, she liked it. of course, while "visitting" a bookstore online, i could not stop myself from buying a couple of books for myself. i did not have anything particular in mind and decided to buy something i have never heard of. this is what i do from time to time and the process of choosing is always a lot of fun.

on love for cinema

have you been reading my posts for some time? well, then you are most probably aware of me being a fan of cinema. i love going there. the whole process of actually comitting and watching a whole movie at home is not that easy for me, bu-u-ut going to the cinema is different. if there were options, i would go to the cinema way more often than i do now (and that is a couple of times a month). i mention cinema here, here and here. do not be lazy and check out those posts too. what if you missed one of them? ;)

i decided to write this post because in the last two days i went to the cinema twice and i was so happy about it. i did not like old cinemas in kiev before and i preferred going to the modern ones, but i changed my mind this weekend. on sunday i watched "life" - a movie about dennis stock and james dean. it was shown in a small room with about five rows and six-eight seats in each of them. although it was not that comfortable, it felt special and cosy, so i came back there yesterday to watch a movie, that i have been trying to see for more than a month now, - 'les deux amis". both of the movies were exactly what i was expecting them to be and what i hoped for. the only thing i was sorry about - not being able to watch them in original.
