Trains Do you like travel by train? Or you prefer a car or even a plane? Anyway, I like trains. They are very comforatable and cozy. You can seat and lie and walk. Trains are about communication and in the same moment about loneliness You can talk to stranger and speak for a whole night. Maybe you will contact with each other after that but mostly you will never meet this person again. And this is the whole gain of such conversation. You open thoughts to a stranger and will remember this trip for a long time. ALso, train is the best place for a reading books. You bring a book that are planning to read during your vacation and read it just in a train. I had such situations) Views are changing behind the window and music are playing in your headphones. It is a perfect place to think, relax, take a nap under a clamour of wheels. Trains are about slowly movement through the beatiful landscapes. Calmness and pacification, warm tea and cookies. This is my associations. This is why I really like trains.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey The last book I have read it is “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest” by Ken Kesey. I watched the movie a long time ago and recently found out that there is a book. I read most of my books in electronic way because I’m poor student and can’t buy all books that I like. Actually, I prefer at first read the book and then decided if it is worth buying. There are many novels that are very popular but I don’t like them. But in this case I knew that I will love it. I saw the book in a small underground shop. It cost me only 30 grivnas. Like two good ice creams. Book or ice cream? The answer is obvious. The story is about an asylum. Most of people are there by their own wish. They can go any minute but they are afraid of outside world. The main character is Bromden. Indian man who presents himself deaf and mute. It is his way to fight with system. He knows all their secrets, the way how The Machine works. It really scares him. The quiet life of ill people was broken by MacMurphy. The person who just does not fits in the asylum. MacMurphy gives to Bromden a hope and power to become Big Man again. Nurse represents the loyal follower of the Fabric. She has never shown her weakness. Her weapon is her patience and restraint. She never abuse but you always feel guilty. The way Randle fight with Nurse is unusual for people of hospital. He openly expressed his protest. Sometimes he lucks, for example, when he organized the fishing for all his friends. But eventually she wins. He died not physically but mentally. He can’t fight anymore. Author gives us a hope when Bromden has a chance to escape and use it. It shows that system has weaknesses, a chance to escape. I’ve read it within few days. The book is exciting, the narration is slow but tension. I like book like this. Some kind of anti-utopia, the story about the person and the Factory. The main question is whether the person wins or breaks. This fight could last forever in many different variations of characters and stories but the main point is still the one. The system always wins. One way or another. You can run away but it will find you anyway. The problem of freedom, real freedom and the system that limit our lives. It’s no matter that the possibility of winning is miserable you should try to win.

Do you love the sun? You can divide people in two groups. The ones who like the sun and the ones who hate it. Because it is hot and too bright, etc. However, I think there are days when everyone is happy to see this yellow ball on the sky. Today is this kind of a day. The beginning of autumn. It is still warm but nights are already cold. The last sunny days. You feel kind of blue watching the nature is going to slowly die. The fall. Everyone wears more and more clothes. And you wanna to catch this last days like a rare butterfly. Feel the last sunlight and a warm wind on your face. I love to close my eyes and just enjoy this moment. However, I like the moon more than the sun. Why? I’m not sure about it. The sun its a fire and energy. And the moon its calmness and silence. I feel more safe and united with my soul.

Friends Person always die alone. No matter how many people are in the room. But we all our time spend in searching of people who will stand in it. The one who will be with us no matter what. Friends. It could be of course your loving part and in good relationships he/she will be your friend. We talk about quality not quantity. Person could have a hundred friends but be alone and conversely. How many people like this could you meet in your life. Ten? Five? Or maybe just one. At some moment, you notice that he/she is your person. For me that means friend will stand for you and with you. If you are wrong, he will tell it. The only thing that matters it’s the best for you even if it hurts. You can and the main thing you want to talk with friend about everything. You know that you will always find a support, advice or just hug. This hug means sometimes much more than some material help. Right know I hope I have three friends. Why hope? Because no one knows the future. It is a common situation when you open your heart and after that, it is broken in too many pieces. In addition, there is still a big problem – distance. Of course, the Internet, Skype and Facebook made online relationships real. But when all of your friends a million of miles away you feel really lonely. You can chat and send smiles in a message but miss a real contact with touching, hugging and laughing. When you don’t see the person at least a few times in a week you lost this connection between you. So the only thing that I can do it’s hope that it will never happen with me and my friends. The real friendship is a treasure. When you are sad and lonely, you should remember that somewhere there are people who cares about you.

Irritation Irritation. Angry. These words have a negative meaning. Like the good person shouldn’t feel this way. Sometimes I’m so angry that gonna kill someone. In figurative sense, of course. I hate when people accuse me without any evidence. I hate when customer talk to me when I didn’t ask for their help. Just don’t touch me and I will buy something. I hate when people waste my time asking one question for three times. I hate when people asks if you are okay and don’t ready to hear an honest answer. I hate when person think that I can’t do something only because I’m a girl. I hate when people talk all time. Hey, even voice in my head can’t handle it. I can be angry not only because of human beings. Weather, problems, health. Bit mostly humans. Not too many hates for you? Huh. I think that feel angry is a normal reaction to external irritants. Because you will always notice things that makes you mad. Moreover, keeping all feelings inside can make you crazy. Being irritated it’s completely normal. The main point is to free your anger and don’t fight with people who didn’t do anything wrong like family and friends. Instead of fighting with innocent people, tell them why are you feel this way. Sometimes it really helps. If person don’t ready to hear your complaints then maybe it’s not the right person for you. It’s easy to say “Don’t’ worry”. It’s hard to do. My advice will be if you see something that irritates you, try to find something that makes you always happy. Right in that moment. You will distract and feel better.

What is the best way to start learning German? I learned it at school but hardly remember anything. What can you recommend for the beginners?

Music Have you ever thought about your life’s soundtrack? Like if we were in the movie. You always notice if the movie has a bad or good music in it. So what kind of music would be in your movie? Would it be sad or fun most of the time? Would it be in the right moments? Music it’s one of the important thing in my life. I can’t imagine a day without it in my headphones or playing on the laptop. I turn it when I’m sad and when I’m happy. I turn when I’m walking around and wanna spend time all alone thinking about some important issues. It helps concentrate and feel the right mood. Music has a gift of touching some deep notes in my soul. People of all generations love music. We can compare it to photos. The main thing about photography is catching one moment of your life on picture. Music using associations. At some moment, you hear the song and then associate it with this memory. But most of the time words or rhythm just reminds you about some person or event and then listening to this song you remembering them. It is one of the cooliest thing about songs. If you ask me about my favourite song, I will hardly answer you. There are, at least, a thousand of such songs. However, “Time in a bottle” by Jim Croce is one of the best. It’s melancholy and blue, about love and time. Because when you find someone you love, you want to spend with this person as much as you can. Moreover, keep these memories. I really like this song, I’m listening to it when I want to feel calm and pacifically.

Books We live in this century when thanks to the internet we can get access to any book or library. At the first look, it seems that educational level has to increase. The more books people read the more intelligent they become. But how many books did you read in the last year? Twenty? Ten? Or one? Unfortunately, there is a trend of decreasing the level of readability. Children don’t wanna read books because they have cartoons, games on theirs devices. Boring book can’t beat it. Adults, on the other hand, have no time or wish. They think that it would be wasting of their precious time. From the other side there is this weird situation, or even “war” between paper and electronic books. Actually between people who prefer reading in different ways. Electronic books have no “soul”, they didn’t smell or etc. From the other side we hear about an expensive paper books and their inconvenient. This fight actually has no reason to exist. Is it really matter how people read their favourite books? From their mobile phones or under the cover with flashlight? The main thing it’s the passion. We should never forget this feeling when you just can’t stop reading. When a book is so exciting that you forgot about the real world. This is why people don’t read a lot. They have forgotten about this feeling. When you read too much boring literature, you start to hate reading. All you need is love. Oh no, wait. That’s an another story. All you need is a right book at the right time. Probably after that you can bring to life your love of books.

The weather. I feel blue. There is a sunset outside. The cool wind makes me feel melancholy. I love sunset. Really love. Sunsets above the sea are the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen. The colours of the sky are the same on the sea and it seems infinitely. You just drown in the beauty. It’s the moment when the day is gone and my favourite part of the day - night is coming. At the night people say things that they will never say at daylight. At the night you can freely think and talk, even cry so no one will notice. For me it’s also a time for fantasy and creativity. It makes me sad that I can’t use all my nights as I want cause this society lives by rules people who can wake up early in the mornings. I hate mornings only if it’s not 5 am and I haven’t slept yet. At this time birds start singing and this sounds are wonderful. Especially when they unties with the smell of coffee and chocolate. My energy comes to me only in the evening when all people go to sleep. I love nights because it’s quite. Only your own thoughts can disturb you. Nights are wonderful as outside as inside, especially now in summer. You can open the window and smell the night. Cold wind, empty streets, darkness. I like this feel when you lie on the ground and observe the stars. You can do it forever. The universe is behind your eyes. You feel yourself so tiny and useless. But it also feels very calming. You will die but the stars are going to be there forever. At least by human standards. Everything is so different at this time. Music unites with your soul. You see brighter than with sunlight. You hear even you own heartbeat. It’s time to think about what have you done and what you will do. Everything seems easier, you believe in your dreams they do not sounds crazy to you. You can decide to learn another language in 3 am and it will seem as a great idea. Probably we can finally hear our real wishes and possibilities. Night is the time of reincarnation thoughts. Darkness is everywhere and you are the last light. From the other side everything that happens at nights stays at night. No one will know about it. It makes these nights kind of a secret. Just the moon and me. Some loneliness that you like.
