Please describe your understanding of a beautifully dressed person. What is the core of beauty? How do you explain what is beautiful to a person who has never heard about beauty before?

Beautifully dressed person is someone who own the style. Someone who is aesthetically appealing, but has his own personal sense of style and fashion. I very much enjoy dark and disturbing themes in fashion and also in art, that is most likely why I enjoy gothic or grungy vibe in clothing. The rebel value is important for me to, something that says "I am not part the majority".

Of course there is a classic beauty, but I prefer not to follow such ideals.

Comfort and coziness is a feeling of something familiar and pleasant, it's the feeling of home, the feeling of pleasant sensations, harmony and peace. I create my own harmony when I resivit my favourite places, drink my favourite wine, walk down my favourite streets. I am very senstive on atmosphere and vibes of certain places and when I feel there is a postive atmosphere created around me, I feel comfortable and cozy. I think I can create a positive atmosphere for my own self, but I sometimes forget about it. I doubt that I can create that for someone else though...

Tell us how you'd design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself or trust someone else to do it? Why?

I would likely do that, I like to follow my own vision and idea of an atmosphere and a theme I want to create. My fault is that I often miss important details so sometimes it can be a disaster. That's partly why I do not really like colours, they are sort of agressive and makes you do a lot of mistakes so I prefer the elegant darkness.

How do you know if a person has bad taste? Could you give us an example? Do you always trust your own taste or do you seek opinions from others?

Sympathy is putting yourself in someone else's shoes. I think sympathy can be expressed with those close to you or those who came to you to seek such thing

Of course there are norms in society.

It's important to follow them, to be able to remain in positive relationships.

I have a problem with showing negative emotions. If it is something that really bothers me, I'd probably tell the person in a bit of sarcastic manner, but unless it's something not that huge, I tend to bubble up all the negativity and hide it, untill it boils.

20 minutes - I am probably on my way to meet the person, might feel a bit nervous if it is someone I don't know well. Usually I feel a bit of nervous and also excited when meeting people.
5 minutes - I am becoming a bit insecure maybe, but hope for the meeting to go well.
the time of the meeting - excited perhaps
if the person's late - I'd feel humiliated.

It's not the same for everyone, but I'd love this world to be more open and free.
