Salomeya’s MANIFESTO

I must be an artist in order to speak.

If I find out where the meaning of life is hiding, I have to tell people about it.

If I want to tell people that I have found the meaning of life, I have to be prepared that they won't want to listen to me.

When Love comes - you have to be brave. When Love leaves - you have to be doubly brave or brave for two and say it outright.

I must remember that brute force is the answer to fear. And when that battle is going on within me, I must understand strength and fear as parts of a whole.

An artist will be betrayed at least once in life.

If betrayal doesn't break them, then nothing will.

I have to be an artist to shout.

Anger is necessary for an artist so that they don’t forget that they are a human being.

An artist shouldn't steal other people's pain.

I should not be afraid to be grateful for pain.

I can trust people.

I could let people take care of me.

I have to be an artist to laugh.

An artist should not look for joy in the world if they have not found it in themself.

An artist may have a secret passage to the well of joy and come there whenever they feel thirsty.

I want to be an artist and my mistakes have value.

Choice always involves risk.

Forgiveness should be nurtured in yourself.

Every day I thank life for the opportunity to seek wisdom and find it right where pain makes me close my eyes and turn away.

Every night I thank death for the time to ask questions and seek answers.
