You write on the need to understand and confidence, and that surrounds you, you write out of a desire to become stronger, closer to what is above us, and to write a few friends who appreciate, which is expected to sincere opinions, but mainly before you write for others, write for yourself.

What I want to show, as I write - that's how I see things with my own eyes, in my heart. I do not follow any particular manner, and forget all the laws that take my brush and paint.
