“Music makes me forget myself, my real position; it transports me to some other position not my own. Under the influence of music it seems to me that I feel what I do not really feel, that I understand what I do not understand, that I can do what I
cannot do.” Leo Tolstoy

I love mixed martial arts, am willing to read anything someone sends me, get lost in front of a piano, and try to live outside as much as possible.
