So, I have many friends, lots of friends, as I'm really a communicative person. I enjoy talking to people and I cannot imagine my life without talking to anyone for a day. It's really important for me. And I think what is really meaningful in friendships for me is to not be that serious, you know? I'm not a serious person. I do not consider myself a serious person. So I really like to laugh and I really like to have a lot of fun in my friendships. The friends that... like... I think that firstly it's one of my closest friends right now, like my best friend right now. It's Olya. I met her a year ago. Approximately it was like that. It was like 1st of September, 2nd of September of 1995. And we met on the program Urban Ruh, which was about like urbanistics and other important things of our life. Like for example, tolerance, you know, accessibility and other stuff. And that program was fundamental for my personal growth. I think it's really meaningful that we firstly met in this program because it's like, I dived into this surrounding of active youth who try to make their life better, evolve themselves and all that stuff and evolve their country and they reach for new possibilities and opportunities. Yeah and that's when my dreams started to come true and not just like you know my delusional dreams. But why she's my best friend? Because she's really smart, like really smart, but I never loved that heart, like she's the most funny person I ever know and also we have like these delusional crushes, delusional dreams and for some damn reason I think that it will all work out, so that's why she's my best friend.
