Outside and Inside by Olya Sheludko

She has blond hair,

pale skin and dark eye bags, which is probably a consequence of creating late at night. Sometimes she takes a pen and builds characters from letters, sometimes she builds lines that later will be transformed into faces, streets, and overly used portraits of super-heroes(a woman is allowed to take inspiration from comic-books!), sometimes she builds box figures, learns to crochet (slowly, but… slowly) and reads books. Those books created the foundation for one of her favourite activities - daydreaming. She walks around whispering lines of dialogues and expressing different emotions (she is not crazy, Agatha Christie did the same!) She is a citizen of two words, indeed. She learns to be happy everyday by looking for new hobbies, searching for new and unusual places in her city and finding new interesting ideas in all types of media. Maybe, to an eye of a beholder, she can look ordinary, but she knows that inside of her there is a warrior, a knight, a wizard, a hero,  an artist, an architect, a writer, and so many more, but most importantly  - creator of her own fate.
