Бакнеж за крај
Некој мудар човек некогаш одамна рекол „се што е убаво кратко трае“. Па така му дојде и крајот на моето волонтирање во Алаурин де ла Торе, Шпанија.

Perception of time
How life is sometimes running and sometimes crawling, depending on what we do with it. Days filled with Life and Events are gone in the duration of a moment.
