I am... one and several.
I like… living dangerously.
I want... to break free.
I have... high cravings at 2 o’clock in the morning.
I wish... I could.
I hate... cockroaches.
I fear... religious extremism and intolerance.
I Google... videos of cats.
I wonder... how drastic will the haircut be.
I regret... nothing.
I love... playing around.
I need... my daily dose of Farixtube.
If I ruled the world... not interested.
I dream… of nothing.
