You only have one body

Hi Vivi, If I would gift you a car, you can choose any car, but it’s the only car you are going to have in your life, how would you treat that car? That is the gift of our body, we only have one and we can’t rent another. Treat yourself with respect, be active, and learn from it. Whatever you think is your body going to last it’s probably going to be way longer....

John Wick (2014)

Hi Vivi, This movie took me by surprise, I don’t remember where I saw it, but I remember how I felt when I watched it. The script and the editing elevate this action film. “Less is more”, and “show don’t tell” are constantly present, the world building is amazing, and the story is simple. This movie is entertainment, and it became a cult film with four sequels, as at this moment, and a lot of similarly inspired movies like Atomic Blonde or Nobody....

How I show love

Hi Vivi, I’ve thought about sending you things, but I’m not the type of person that likes to have much or attach my emotion to things. There is value is the invisible, not having strings that attach you to stuff becoming and anchor. I’m writing you, because this is my way to show you love, to tell you I had you in my heart every day. Not just a toy that anyone could order on Amazon....
