This is kind of personal journal of thoughts, a mix between happy and not that happy ideas, with meanings that sometimes where distorted just for the sake of exploring an idea. Any resemblance with other work is pure accidental. The ideas do not necessarily represent my beliefs, feelings or memories, even if in them there’s some truth hidden.
