A statement, in my case, is a always a question

Eglè‘s question: “I currently like the word ‘epistemology’, my friend likes ‘numinous’, but do you think I know enough words to make a monologue out of it?”

Eglè‘s intro:

“An esteemed audience, good communication, documentation, and online footprint that is going to be associated with my name if one day you’ll have a desire to google me. You can try to do with dots on e (ė) or without, but don’t use the other symbols above e, it’s just plain mean, not nice, those letters don’t exist in my mother tongue it is either e or ė, okay, maybe sometimes ę.

Obsession of the arbitrary meaning of words and things, and the ever present regret that I could have used this time differently, for a better message, for a better purpose. But if the past exist just in front of us, can the future exist in a form colorful sorbet or a gentle caress?

Big thanks to Emilija Vanagaitė and Justas Venckus.”
