Anything my mom cooks for me.

What is the last thing you do at night?
Trying very hard to fall asleep usually by recalling a comforting or pleasant moment from recent days.

Can you recall a dream?
Yes. I was at a shoot for a cosmetic brand. People were doing my hair and helping me dress. I had to fly somewhere soon after. I was being looked after, touched, lightly held, and I liked it. My high school friend was there too. She suddenly had these surprisingly muscular arms, I kept noticing and I was impressed. In the corner, someone I used to be close to, but not friends anymore, was quietly making her sculpture. I was disturbed because the sculpture looked so much like mine. Before leaving the shoot, I stole two big carabiners from the materials workshop. I actually needed them in real life the next day, and I still didn't get them yet, so I guess that stress might have slipped in.

What are you bored by?
Myself, my thoughts, my patterns.

What takes you to cloud 9?
Successfully and excessively impressing someone I admire.

What is still a mystery?
The others.

What do you want to find?
Extreme high that lasts longer than I expect.

Old friends, new friendships.

Any last words?
Thank you very much!
