[Naos note]: This serie doesn't have anything to do with what I normally write, it's just a share of thoughts of our group, between different generations.
Andonis:
While I may not have much hope, I thought that we may as well try, this are my thoughts, and Naos will give them to you.
I may not be the one with the craziest life of the family, but if I may say, it's not totally boring, if Naos didn't give explanations, and I will say it for the one who will read, I m not a writer neither are most of us, and I am not even writing this, I say it and Marcus write it for me, if you have anything to say, be it good or bad, say it to Marcus.
So as I was saying, my life is a bit normal, not too crazy, right now I am a French librarian, with neither wife or kids, living the life I want, with the money I have, even if it's not luxurious. I am happy to be part of Radion even if it's only for me a place to chat and exchange, with people of varying lifestyles, I guess as the first I was supposed to say something inspirational,
;
( and I see that Marcus beside me is nodding his head, and I see you are writing it)
[Naos note] I think it was just Marcus doing a joke but even so I will leave it here.
;
but I won't because first, it's not my style and second, what am I even supposed to say?
Also as a librarian I deal with paper books, different from Naos so if anyone need something you can put it in the place you send your thoughts to the author , I'm pretty sure it exists,
[Naos note]: yes Andonis, it exists.
I may not know all the books but I have read my share fare of them , not sure this expression exists,
[Naos note]: not sure either.
but I can help you with some of this, also I see Marcus is trying to say to me to keep on track so I will stop distracting and saying this, as I was saying, I have lived a fairly normal life. I'm 35 years old now, and though my days are usually filled my tranquil library life, l've had my share of adventures.
[Naos note]: tranquil? Yes of course Andonis, of course…
Back when I was younger, I did a bit in filmmaking. It was an exciting experience , filled with creative thoughts and projects and the happiness of seeing stories come to life on screen. I never made it big, but those experiences taught me a lot about storytelling, perseverance, and a little patience.
One of the most dangerous hobbies I had was car racing. I almost died four times because of it. There's a certain thrill to racing that's hard to describe as you hear the roar of the engine, the blur of the world as you speed past and mostly the power you have be it beneath your feet with the simple act of pushing it making you go so fast and also the incredible power of our motors. But it's deadly. The adrenaline rush is unmatched, yet every race felt like walking a on thin on a harsh and dangerous mountain landscape surrounded by canyons. One wrong move, one miscalculation, and it could all be over. It felt amazing, but looking back, I realize how reckless it was.
[Naos note]: he is still loving it even if doesn't do it anymore
I've also had , for some time an intriguing interest in more traditional crafts as well. Over the years, l've gained a decent amount of knowledge in metallurgy. I know how to craft basic iron knives and arrowheads, a skill that feels almost meditative. There's something incredibly satisfying about taking raw materials and turning them into something useful with your own hands.
[Naos note]: useful? As I always say when he talks about it, how is it useful? Do you need it?
As for Radion, and no I will not say it's full name Marcus, I don't find it necessary, the group I am part of, and who help me share all of this, it's a special(?) community where people from various walks of life come together. We share ideas, and learn from each other's experiences. It's a place where I can be myself without thinking too much about it . We may not always agree, but the exchange of thoughts is interesting and discovering different perspectives is invaluable.
[Naos note]: I like the mention to our community even if it's termed as special, but I guess it is.
So, while my life might seem ordinary at first glance, it's the sum of these experiences that makes it unique. From the quiet moments in the library to the heart-pounding thrill of racing, (that I am not anymore part off, but like to go back sometimes and watch) and the peaceful creation of metalworks, every part has shaped who I am today. And that, I think, is something worth sharing.
[Naos note]: And this was Andonis sharing with us all of this, he sent me after that, that he liked to talk about this and maybe he will continue to talk about this another time ( while Marcus said it was funny and that there may be some part a bit strange because he wrote it — I think I know what he is talking about)
[Naos note]: And so I won't post too much because I am doing exams but it seemed interesting to share the stories of our group to other so I may post time to time about what they wanna say here, have a good day, bye
