Maybe i do want to be held back. To actually have something that would hold me back every once in a while, make me stop for a moment, look back and reconsider everything, and if not radically change, at least see them in a slightly different perspective - one makes room for something other than myself. Maybe i do want something more solid than my inconsistent whims - perhaps i don't see it as stalling dead weight, but some kind of an anchor to stop me when it's too stormy out there and too rough to sail. Maybe i'm afraid that without this weight i will get lost, as i let myself lose chasing all those winds and get pulled in too many directions to end up torn to thousand little pieces and not even a single thing to hold on to.

About Me
- Name: Nika
"Once upon a time I dreamed I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of following my fancies (as a butterfly) and was unconscious of my individuality (as a human). Suddenly I was awaken and there I lay, myself again. I don't know whether I was then dreaming I was a butterfly or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming that it is a man. Between a man and a butterfly is necessarily a barrier and the transition is called metempsychosis." Old Chinese wisdom
