When I was a child I used to write lyrics from my favourite songs by hand and not google them on the web, this way  the feeling of belonging to the unreal world was stronger. I liked spending my time with a paper and a pen imagining I could put a spell upon those words, like I could turn them into something more beautiful, closer to my inner fantasies.

Once again, after all these years I find myself listening to a song which hunted me when I was 15. And soon I start to scribble the lyrics here in this new “Diary” with the unyielding belief that there is at least one person who truly understands the meaningful experience which can result from its listening.

“Don’t think twice before you listen to your heart
Follow the trace for a new start
What you need and everything you’ll feel
Is just a question of the deal
In the eye of storm you’ll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love”

a year hence it will be forgotten ..

But there is still a reason for which people get emotioned from time to time and not surrender irremediably into its vanity.  The return to one’s innocence could have the power of telling the truth, an unbearable truth that was hidden there for ages. with a power so strong that only a child and a man after a couple of drinks are able to tell. Some kind of truth that changes lives. And crosses paths. and makes you wonder what it could have been if things were different.

The beginning of the rest of my life could be the end of life as I know it or maybe an extension of it. with thoughts-the same, feelings- the same, dreams-the same. what could happen then, when I’ll cross the road into that big bad world? A million people with a million dreams living in a million places, there is more to this than it seems.

From a world that I hardly knew, to a world where I could find something new .. I bid you farewell.

… mine.

It’s been a week since I came back from Bucharest where I participated at the National Arts Contest for High School Students LicArt. (10-11 September)  I wanted to write this post for a while now, but I always found a reason to postpone it.

I must say that I was expecting the festival to be less interesting, but it turned out that the dedication and passion of the people who stood behind the whole event made me change my mind and realize the gravity of this contest.  It is always nice to see people that care for art more than for their own benefit.

On the first day we visited the Photo Exhibition from the Geology Museum and then we had a great time enjoying the three playes nominated in the finals at the theatre section.

Here is Mishu playing with a lizard at the Geology Museum.

On the second day of the festival, we had a workshop with the well-known photographer (and member of the Jury) Dinu Lazar. (http://fotografu.ro/) Eventually, in the afternoon, after a concert held by Ducu Bert(z)i, the winners were announced.
