When you first meet me, you’d probably think that I’m friendly, inquisitive and adventurous type, and I like nearly everything that is sweet and playful. That’s my nicely crafted social mask, a simplified perspective of myself which is pretty accurate for the short time we’d spend together, no fear.

Edit in 2025: Sonya grew up. I finally achieved the level of "seriousness" I was aiming at, but I keep the old info out of sentiment.

PHILOSOPHY

'' It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.'' Nietzsche

Teach/ Preach: I’d prefer to see that you have already found "the purpose", enjoy life and work for improvement of some sort. I share the same principle. Happy to teach you how to make Japanese pancakes, I am on my way to master it.

Learn: If you are authentic, I’d be happy to learn more about you.
