the . but i go to say to them, so that in the past i do it every day in the morning and sometimes in the evening, look. so i can concentrate today and focus just to tell saliva. i will post. i learned this at drama school. you get into a flow video and if you're in the flow state, if you, if you have a direction, then everything is fine. so a report on both sides of it. also the court and douglas not face the back when i was at the film and acting school. and sophia was quoted was i acted in a movie for the 1st time list. and it was a hollywood production with young cloud van dam golf longer and other stars the youth is an interesting but what else thought of this and could look with my mother let these days i'm not known as an actor. but as

a mayor for them is not the youngest mayor in bulgaria, i will call to talk to him that it's certainly not what i had in mind for my life lesson was originally let's get this stuff. spinal cords of, of the, on the phone cuz told, got some old i know done the modeling uh from my childhood on to we often spend our vacations here and nobody knows what's the law my father was born here. so was my grandfathers really on low to manage? it looks like the safety election should be held much more often for someone else

was mayor here for 4 years. again, nothing happened to the people were forgotten to sort through the road was quickly pay. but just before the election is what we're actually being rob and lawyer with . no it is, but i don't, those are good to go to the so i better stop that's too much information from us. so it's a legit so that more of a sort of similar flow of 2 limits, but maybe they'll vote for me again. then i'll rebuild what no longer exists. this isn't worse and infrastructure from culture and hope this felt political politics is confusing for lunch. one is democracy, both to ultimately it's the people with money that determine the lives of others last little bit. most of the class, that's how many people think you're involved. gary of chairs,

the relative is up to looking at the spouse to a we have a problem with our river twice a year. it turns gray and the entire eco system dies out. it changes color in a matter of seconds, follow the frogs disappear the dock salvage of these fish, even the allergies when i'm ready and i was pulling over them with what else? 2000 a year ago, some residents complained she was here for the losing someone even wrote something about it in the local newspaper. so to, and i just want us to put them in a budget on chapter. you got a call from the administration of the entire district, but you put in the last stop. he was told he didn't know who he was dealing with, especially with so a lot of it was a partial, very dubious. last question. what else led

to the needs? the problem is that the state and the entire system is set up like that was go to russian and nepotism for the last time. that's why so many young people are leaving their fleeting from this injustice and bulgaria folder for the, for the travel that people have the feeling that everything is dying out here was, i mean and that there is no help. now on the list of the, the,

the last time it was the goes to the house i live in, belonged to my great grandparents and, and even the generations before them and what the status is or the book doing a good price. what am i going to get with the policy mark when i came to live in building the model? you know, i was fed up with big cities, listen to the noise and all that. i want to get away from it all my ceiling. if i was settled on, i'm on a think i was on the theater stage in china, new york and london a little bit in the in between. i wanted to relax and recharge new articles on

the awesome what zip code somebody to the customer found on the to see the i'm the exception in my family. my father likes to say i'm a circus person. if you don't go into business and earn good money, you can forget, unlike everything up to a, a, whereas my mother has always supported me. so it's thanks to her that i've continued in this direction for the acting and film can a the, the, the

who do those. you have to say what some of the tells back then a friend kept asking me the same questions or thoughts, but wouldn't you like to be mayor of the modeling now? is i thought he was joking, but he said next year there are elections and you're a good fit for this village and you can achieve something that you asked me over and over again. and then i stood for election. me that was compressed nicely that you said that i would follow those who like, must have felt the results. it was a game for both sides look like playing on the stage, but in real life they have to and suddenly it became reality is, surprisingly people chose me here in this room and they put me on their shoulders install price and less kind of looked at the logic, but then they sent me down at a table and there was music and everyone danced around me. and so i sat there and stared at the wall. i thought, damn opponents,

what have you done with your life now? he missed a couple of the in the city. this is of course i regretted it for just take a look out there for you, but there are lots of people living here. i think what, what do i do with them all now? uh, what does a me or actually do we got to kind of, i had absolutely no idea. of course that scared me. people had expectations of me and i had no idea where to start. because putting on the or i see that i have to sell to them and i don't know that 1st i played the role that was like the circus for me. and then after 3 months,

i wanted to quit and leave the residents wouldn't let me with the you like people came to me every day to change my mind over as they said that they had put their trust in me and that they would help me with sort of the let it it because the the the to the please can someone can add some license. they told me about

a bulgarian prover and i don't know what i'll do. it says that once you've started dancing, you have to finish the most is uh, found, say i'm going to months, go to the report. once you've started, it's a commitment whether you like it or not. so i stayed all the colors on this, not before young co came to the village. it was desolate simons. how can i push that young kind of brings people here from out shines that we can sing and dance with. and when he dances himself, everyone dunces with him. oh, life was suddenly beautiful and fun man was still good for the following. so slow to play, unless it's more than i'm really think i felt a little must allergic and in many of my generation fled to western new rebels. and so i began to share experiences with those who stayed that a little want them to help them cause they're going to the last to know. and together we change something that has to mean old created

a new reality is going to be fine. what else? the a lot of cars are there are people who say this is what fate has decreed, but we alone are our destinies because we make the decisions for ourselves, cellular. but

the way we're just to pick up chicks calling to work quite mid to in game to all the things that were sent over to the sink. when i stood for election as mayor, my father said to me because you know, this is the smartest decision you have ever made to be able to for the most sensible thing you've ever done. like my mother was also convinced that i would have cheap some things to pursue the last 3 autonomy, the cold without the now my parents are asking me about something else if they're able to get away and i didn't last the bottom there, poking me, let me know,

i'd like to have a family one day, but it's not the right moment yet. does me so of a simple testament simply out to kind of think of some plus. so i was just talking to my girlfriend about this the other day. i asked her when the moment would come when we would live like normal people. and she said, what does normal people actually mean? normal people are even crazier than we are supposed to talk to. the able to go for. but there is another thing in bulgaria and as a bonus, if you want to make god last week because of the make plans that us, my son goes to the part of his plan on uh, 2 boxes which we have. what do you need to this?

and that's why i'm not making anymore plans because i'm here now. and if i continue on my own path, i'll get there eventually and see what it is. well, the, that's a but life beats the movies about what seems clear to they may look completely different tomorrow. the only thing that counts is the here, and now the time the you will kick your mom's group assessed him. i think i was born with music. that's

how i feel the line because i started singing before i could speak to them or at least that's what my mother told me, the loose me that i was lying in bed as a little baby and was already humming music because i'm really what i heard on t v or the radio that i do, that's how i remember myself, the sing and consuming the content. the deal on this with this video. and i was born in siberia more than 40 years ago and she moves my parents come from the republic those moldova, both from northwest to robbie and the read my home is mainly moldova,

just because someone to, if we talk about this home in the physical sense, this is the place where i live, which and where the band is for the musicians i've worked with. it's my family in a way and, but i mean to get a definitive seminar, costa acosta does a she age the let's you lock us up intermediates to shoot them in here. so if that's how you define how in up into present, it's here. if i tell you about how somebody is also in romania and then i also felt at home and you've drained this issue because i am of ukrainian just sense as well . that just i also felt at home in russia when i traveled there, but it wasn't because when i was born daughter, it was all one country and we all grew up with the same literature. the same schumer, the same joke. yeah, they circulated everywhere. i think we all have the same furniture with him, and i mean, there were things that were very similar in this whole region. the vital put of delay mom got a to resell it until there came

a point when i had to choose between university and music. and if i'm using my family was pressuring me to study journalism of these. and so i chose that path from i started working as a journalist in the 1st few years, supply studies and domain. but after years in journalism and politics book, i realized that they were all just the levels odessa, some of these to do that, the mutual and the cutting down because the 30 to 30 lord, i'm at andre in 2010 exams. and we got married soon after it was seen through and that was a phase in which i had some stability in my life that we loved hiking, joe, so that we loved being in the mountains as both of us. i'm the ones that you put them into and told me to say it on the quantity i see in 2015. i was in the mountains with andre, and we were in pediatric riley in romania over to the,

in an area that felt kind of strange. a bit of gloss, we realized it was dangerous because i saw signs that an avalanche had gone down in front of us and we decided to turn back. we were already on the way back and it was a doing that boy. mm. shifts to live in the shop. that's how these things happen. specialists have, i don't know so much to andre. at one point he made a tiny movement, got a one wrong movement. and he slipped and slipped and slipped. jacob golden, all the way to the bottom of the slope, who it was a very deep ravine. 400 meters, deep sea man. and uh, yeah, a tooth, a so called a 9, something clicked it and this was taken an hour before the accident happened. instead of the night before, he kept insisting that i think, he kept saying same thing. it was up, but again, i don't know which to me as if you felt something as if it was the last message you left me back them. so they kept saying, please saying, please saying that, ok,

we were in a hot new process and i had a little guitar with me and i thing and said, but i am seeing and then he said, well then keep saying that i'll send this out the, the should i don't know if music would have become my profession if andre were still alive? i think i should. i think i would have taken a different path in life. so she for us, i mean, it would have started a family, had children go. 2 to us to the, to samples on what happened back then left, a huge mark on me. and i think part of me died with him here. i was completely

destroyed for a while session, and i couldn't even sing anymore. whenever i sang, i started to cry to bounce the continued to isaac please. mm hm. oh cool. let the dumpster mean like that. so the to go to do something to this, but i couldn't go back to my old life too. so i understood at the time that not a single compromise i had made up to that point, have made any sense you've got to. and when i realized how fleeting life is due on how a person can be gone from one second to the next, i asked myself, what are we in this world for us to make life compromises and to come to buy things? what for to of the, the, the, or not in the after a year of complete darkness, combine them. i came across these guys and we found that the band via co

signed district attitude. and i think we go to our paths crossed just like that. i'm sure sometimes you get the feeling that there is a higher power guiding our pass. so suddenly these guys come along and we try to make music together. tunes component, the dominion we stuff was some of the she for me, music was healing and i know exactly what kind of music them was. i was healed by a certain type of music, a certain sound of this. and now i understand that i have to pay tribute to what music has given me. i don't believe that beautiful chlorophyll.

committed formally a higher good. now for tomorrow we're bringing back folks or i'm with them, but not in it's archaic form that you got not in the original and then the city, but in combination with modern music. and because i've been moving within different styles all my life anyway, when you need us to find that interesting teen them, especially as music is a universal heritage and extend them just so they want to come, we are aware of our roots were, but we're looking to connect with other cultures such as and that's what i really love about our time today. this freedom that people didn't have a few generations ago. i mean, well, i mean, you know, but the just to push to be thought is, well, they couldn't travel, just change their location, go to festivals. for example. none of that existed to mag office to valid listening stuff to the kids task. quite a few. a

nice system, it's this mix to me which contains elements of folk music ball and especially ancient music and said they did. that gives you this feeling comes your mind. so take one to insurance you into a certain feeling frequencies. i think the contribution to that is to proceed to so it's still very difficult at all, but it is possible to make a living for music and me. so the compromises that word again, you know, i believe that this is a constant process. the most sort and that's what you always have to measure yourself against. info is the mean. it's not a final decision. you're constantly testing your limit. nineties in society. i couldn't go back to journalism or political work. i don't think i would find my way

much medic and i don't think i belong there anymore either. but united states and the practice and then some and some of them go outside of the i like go into the country side to meet the people there. i'm going to befriend them so so to talk to them the money now but a whole vase of tomato, literally a bush of a is the mayor of the village of the world. volkswagen. the model of nice to the village lives on the banks of the river. nice to meet on the border with trump's mystery. a sister going firstlight on the last time i visited lillia, we went to the bridge that connects small java and transmits you disclose that this or how long has it been but a good one. uh huh. yeah. i have this it for me when it for me and its a year and

a half. and i still can't believe that this isn't just a nightmare. so that odessa is 100 kilometers away, right here on the input are basically, and this still being shows that your sending those over the mosley's. and it's so paradoxical that there is war while life goes on at the same time. and it's interesting how people think of human nature, our ability to adapt and us, how can we simply adapt to some of these things we've gotten used to? gosh, to send them the,

there's a come to fill. should that to explode. it, we make music. it's also a kind of self discovery. what you play to go to printers because when you start composing a piece, imagine if you don't know where it will lead you. if you can roughly imagine it, you can have an idea of the loan, but the initial spark is sometimes a club day. do out a flash of inspiration, a ray of sunshine, and where that leads you, you don't know to the, to vote, it's a journey, but the, sometimes with surprises along the way the,

the samples. so yes, you can think about things have wishes and hopes. but if you cling to them too tightly to your fears and bad feelings, because you're not live in your life, that's what i want to wake up and enjoy this gift searches and to enjoy and see everything that is, and not always only what is not the show piece, how would i describe myself at on the modest and with a life that hasn't really been

a success so has and yours is new with dunham is which of the options shut on you and your so basically what does wires oh jeez. yeah. i never wanted to be a minor. i always resisted, but a lot of my uncle's worked in mining is up in. yeah, he's the voice go to avoid having to join the army. i decided to work in the mine for a year. challenge and i go by the,

the bush a leader, i started to enjoy working under ground and somehow it is still my life. although mining no longer exists here it is my life. it has died out, but we minors live for what used to be. it's a z m at 10, so the wall the need us to move. those are where this uniform is. a reminder that mining involved existed still existence and will continue to exist. it still exists because there was a uniform or a momento of mining in almost every wardrobe in this town. almost half of the people here were minors. so the what i feel sad when i talk about it, because those times are not coming back for me, long bull to tossing a little,

somebody was going to be shot, but i'd still use the yes most. com. but the so brotherhood of mine is provided cohesion and solidarity. and we used to meet up and talk about all sorts of things about work about women, about this in that loudly, sylvia to combine ya roses beef, but also all of them all coincide, of course. and i worked in the valves, your coal mines from the end of 1980 to 1991 to the bulk of the time of the people's republic during the communist era. things were going well for me. i had money, i had a life, i had joy, i had everything. was it? yeah, a lot. all those number which is when the fall of communism came, the mining industry fell apart since then. good news for possible anybody you know get should fish on. so they kicked us out,

they put the 1st 1000 people out on the street. they threw 1000 people out just like that and gone. and we received a severance payment of 3 months salary. the next people they like go received to use salary. yeah, the vip it off because of all of them the, you know, the, well, the bill was on the ship. all you all know on the boy and then my ex wife broke down because we had a child and money was getting tight. bu yes, we argued a lot to, she said we needed money for this. we needed money for that and i got angry to somebody. i'm going to go to the all, i'm sure she all yeah, those block of all, sometimes there wasn't enough to buy bread. i tried to earn more somehow, but just couldn't afford to move the top 10 years of all. it's like to just times i agree. i don't know if i thought that if i worked in western europe, i would somehow manage to feed the family. but that was a mistake too much,

someone will g that double bond a stem stomach and plenty which i just made my 3 friends and i took an old car and drove to germany to work legally. and it's a durable medical boy yet. but we later worked in switzerland, greece and other countries and said, yes, so that is you, and i owned a bit of money there, then i brought it home and lived a little. then the money was gone again, reveals, well, the shippers rule is always opinions. i will check with you and those will push a me just go, the divorce came later. then i lost the custody of my child. there were alimony proceedings since then. i've been trying to make ends meet somehow. it was all in calling its sponsor the

for the is from the yes do. so i was able to scratch a bid together. it's not much but at least a good force. what do you for my work? well maybe not much, but for swati buys you a loaf of bread because i got cut off the engine you all around know almost every morning between 7 indeed i go out to collect the bottles and cans bid on. yeah, most likely you don't come across many people on the street in the morning. it's quiet. you get some exercise and some oxygen into your body type technologies along with i keep up with when i get home afterwards, i feel more alive. i have a smile on my face, that's because when the sun is shining as beautifully as it is now, the joy emerges. and then sometimes you can close your eyes and dream a little was also with a couple of boxes, autism cons a boys instead of the the

move you're a part of school is a whole new most like i like polish music as well as western music. but only the classic side of the purple nazareth queen led zeppelin, pink floyd, pink floyd, the actual for 0. it's a good i need to know to and the borders were opened. i went to concerts abroad with a group of friends to places like germany or hungry. you have to go to him is november . so hold on, the part of the ship just reveals that you at some point 2 things came to poland from the west law. firstly, the plague of tattoos and secondly,

drugs that were smuggled into poland from the netherlands and other countries should scroll on digits of huge quantities which dealers later sold locally. they were in the schools, they were even lollipops with drugs of sco locks and all that varies cause google the thought the gold coast was its all sort of gold. they was autumn, just you and my daughter was the ideal child at 1st. she's saying wrote her bike and studied a lot for school post a bunch of kids. i thought she was going to become something. i thought she was my happiness. well, your sense to all the but i was wrong. the but all i did all the. well. the but all of the she chose the wrong path. she chose the path that leads to hell. she started smoking drinking and taking drugs or the cop. just get to pick up this and my daughter took almost every kind of drug up on it. and i still remember her telling

me when you take drugs, you were in a wonderful world. and later she was shaking and had epileptic seizures. she got skipped. so for any yeah, and now she has to take medication. so that's it. the so sort of them on both of those where i can talk to i have a terrible relationship with my daughter as a father that hurts my heart. maybe i was a bad father. maybe i was too strict with her as a father remotes and long. yeah, i want to interest to go out and they clock. so these chinese almost i phone for several years to help her. i fought to pull her out of the swamp. i didn't succeed. i sacrificed myself to get her out of there. i was attacked and beaten up twice by dealers because of a defeated. i was in the hospital for 7 days, which is a complex set of scott. yes it is. a life is like a boxing match. if you make

a mistake in the ring, you hit the ground mark. if you make a mistake in life, you also fall down. if you fall down and you are clever, then you slowly get back up again. but would someone reaches out to you as you come to and start again, not just physical global. the? yes, i put several, of course to most or each of our father left us when we were still at elementary school. when i came back from school, the apartment was emptied. we didn't know what was going on. our father had moved out and taken everything with him and i just and the only left us a table chairs and

a bed the worst go out to the we should each the corresponding issue on the opposite. and so my mother and my brother and i had to join forces to manage somehow. a few years later, my brother and i visited my father. he lived in a villa with his new wife. yes, co v 0. 1 could be. i told you had started a glass blowing business. she own us. automobiles. ok, welcome to us and you've already told us, you can't spend the night at my place. most i cannot tell you won't settle. there's a meadow outside where you can picture 10 spots. if those callback now addition to that thought of leader, he also had strawberry fields and he had 10 hector's and people who worked for him . all those things, the style and these things that yeah, i'm doing it goes off, but i didn't get anything from my father or his options. i don't hold a grudge against him for that. he obviously wanted it that way. i do feel sad about it though it says my mother has been alone all her life and she's still alone today . no,

it's sad but true. the subject it out from you. a is option mostly what i'm you sure. that's the vital gina. i've always dreamed of having a real family, a family with warms and uh, berkeley at the goal. that's what i'm lacking. this familial love they, they, me wish to talk to you regarding the job image. i would like to experience this once before i die, which is a, you know, that is the best thing to do is to close my eyes for a moment and dream that there was a woman here between this miserably headed monster. we would make ourselves a cup of tea. sit down clear. you are just she would cut off

a piece of the cake she baked earlier. sylvia pushed michael. you would t state laugh together and kiss 90 publish. uncle. that would be nice if i the edition, did you have those beautiful black lines over your eyes when you came out of the mind? sure. all the miners have that when they came out, i really nice that we had eyes like that. and on the bus, people would shout, look, there's a gay ones, you know all the to but it was just cold dust that had collected him our eyebrows and the thing uh nothing really. i really liked the minus ice back then. i also started wearing makeup. i had received a package from the us with a pair of wrangler jeans into black switzer and travelers, but the i will of his outfit to school every day. so you

the task upon that we should if they were to reopen the mine this year, what you were up there again as a minor jazz nicholas for you at your age, crawling through the tunnels on the ground. yes. if they would still take me with my health, i wouldn't be happy too. it would make me happy to be able to work there again. no matter how long i live. on the which has been shavone, you choose and it will cause as far, life is beautiful. you have to know what to do with it. it's what key is all the golf gives it is life means sorrow, grief regret be do tiers, which it all the stocks,

few law life. it means joy and just smile on your face. yeah, probably john paused the on the corner of that one of the. yeah, it's a shift to a lot of the life is that one moment you wait for your whole life was you? java is, is uh the think of something as soon as on of the book, the environment, trends, technologies come is digitalization, stall, tops, new market, new media. the world is accelerating. sees the opportunity to try new things, take flights with the that we use business magazine made into many in 30 minutes on the w protocol, discuss right now and to the conflict highlights the negative
