In honor of today’s holiday, I decided to write a little text or something about a person who is like a jet engine, a kind of battery or even an explosion in our lives. And as you might have already guessed — it’s my mom, @olga.maslievich.

One beautiful summer day when we were taken on our 1st solo car trip, my mom had a thing for exploring all the castles in the vicinity of Krakow and so, purely by chance, we ended up at Tenczyn Castle, also known as Techin, which is a historical gem located in the picturesque Rudno region, about 30 km west of Krakow.

Watch on 3SpeakToday I decided to take a more freestyle format and recorded a video of myself singing a cover of Scared to Be Lonely by Dua Lipa and Martin Garrix in the car. This song moves me for some reason. It itself poses such a philosophical question: why do we actually stay in relationships? Is it love… or the fear of being alone? I think that many people, without even saying it out loud, enter relationships for very different reasons. Sometimes it's because we're afraid of being different, or we're afraid of being alone, or we're afraid of how society perceives us, because being alone is almost considered a failure. But all of this is a kind of benefit and has nothing to do with love. I myself have never been in a relationship, because of the fear of being alone. But I've had other traumas, for example, I was made to believe in mutual magic, and then suddenly, for absolutely unknown reasons, it was broken, I was given a very big crack. Just the opposite side, it was clearly communication for selfish purposes, in particular, attempts to use and absolutely reduce the value of a person to a gender with certain physical data. And let's get back to the song, although this song is not about some kind of grief, for some reason it brought me to tears, I noticed it in the middle of the song, and I was very afraid that it would ruin the recording. There is no obvious reason, because I say this does not specifically resonate with my life experiences. Maybe because the melody is melancholic, or I don't know... In any case, some factors of this song awaken something in the soul and touch the soul. I tried to convey the melody as best I could, I practiced singing this song into the microphone many times. but especially the intermediate passages with "we are afraid to be alone" in some places the melodies were mixed up😂 maybe I was very worried because I had tears in my eyes, and that's why I mixed them up. But I'm saying that there wasn't such an emotional version of singing, well, it's something new and not typical for me❤️ I also want to add that every time I try to vote for the winners in a c

Perched on a limestone promontory overlooking the Vistula River, about fifteen kilometers southwest of Krakow, the Benedictine Abbey of Tyniec offers a breathtaking panorama. Its centuries-old walls seem to protrude from the cliffs, offering a view of the calm waters of the river. This place, steeped in peace and history, was the scene of a personal adventure that marked my journey. Founded around 1040-1044 by King Casimir I the Restorer, this monastery is considered one of the oldest in Poland and a spiritual and architectural gem of the country. We descended the steep slope to walk down along the river and walk along interesting paths and contemplate the power of the rock and the abbey that stands above it from the foot.

During our trip to Cappadocia, we discovered a place that seemed to come out of a fairy tale: the Zelve Open Air Museum. This fascinating place, located between Göreme and Avanos, gave us an unforgettable experience of surreal landscapes and unique historical testimonies.

Watch on 3SpeakHello, brothers and sisters, Hivians. I am joining the Vibes music competition again week 31. In the two previous entries I performed American songs and the thing is that it feels like when singing foreign songs my voice has a completely different type of behavior and it feels like it is much weaker and the power is small, besides, the quality was deteriorating when recording. I noticed that my voice has more power on songs in my native language. And so this time I decided to experiment and sing a song in the language of the land I come from. But still everything is according to the rules of the community as far as this week's theme song is the 2000s, I chose a song that was forced in 2005 and the author of which is the singer Scriabin, maybe you have heard it before because he is quite popular in his circles. Unfortunately, he is no longer alive, but Ukrainian people still pay tribute to him every year. All his songs have always had such a rebellious and philosophical character, they always carry some kind of multifaceted essence. Often sad and scary, the songs make you think about things in the world around us and about life in general. Like this song in particular, which I present today. It is called "Old Photos", and it conveys the true essence of life so metaphorically, quite pessimistically about children's illusory dreams and rose-colored glasses, just hypocritical scales and the breakdown of this about the realities of adult life. When not everything happens as you imagined and came up with in childhood, some plans are sometimes covered with a copper basin. And when I sang that song, a few lines in it made me specifically sad and horrified. For example, about the fact that "we were waiting for the moment when the world would fall at our feet" but time stubbornly counted the years and everyone did it as they knew how. And also in the first verse there was this phrase "someone let go, someone raised up, and on someone else time gave a shit". All these words pierce so deeply and you think about your goals and what you do every day. Do you hold back until you reach that
