Borrowed feelings

Entertainment is an integral part of the plan of numbing our consciousness. We get excited by the heroic deeds of the main characters of the TV series, we rejoice in their love affairs and are saddened by their traumas.

From penitentiary police to yoga

Yes. I simply had to listen. I'm kidding, it wasn't easy at all. In the meantime, because I had to find the courage to ask myself the question 'is this really how I want to spend my life?', but then when I did, the answer was simple. Honestly... nope.
