Hello! It's not a big deal to write my story. The question is - who needs it? I came here by the invitation of my friend, who advised me to tell a bit about myself in the first post. But how can I tell about myself? Over the past few years I have endured such strong transformation of my personality, that I can say only one thing with complete confidence - I am a resident of planet Earth and impossible to lure me into the depths of space for any money. Nothing good is waiting for me there. As for my biography, it is standard until 14 years old. At the age of 14 I finished 8th grade, left my home and went to the neighbouring Kazakhstan to understand the basics of adult life. It is not surprising that at the age of 18 I’ve started to play punk rock and a life of ordinary citizen has become caused bouts of depression.
I was born in a country that no longer exists on the map - The USSR - and my search for the meaning of life carried me from Orthodox mysticism to Carlos Castaneda, and a tireless curiosity has prompted to learn 5 years in the Department of Theology at the Faculty of Political Sciences, which I don't have time to finish. A week before state exams I carried smuggling to the neighboring country Kazakhstan where I spent a few days held hostage by the hospitable Uzbeks. In the 90-s I travelled around the cities of Russia where no one needs punk band, considering that my actions are changing the reality not only around me. When I couldn't get enough of concerts of the same group, I started to organize festivals, where I invited the best people from the Siberian underground world. It would have continued to this day, if I hadn't got to the fairyland India, the magic state GOA. This is the place where hopes come true and wonderful dreams become a reality. After that I traveled a lot of South-Eastern Asia, in Central Africa and always returning to my native Siberia. I would be glad if someone tells me, what can I write here, and what better to abstain.
Since I don't really want search engines find my name and surname, I introduce myself just as Optimist. So I introduced myself to Buddha, whom I met during in Nepal. My friends with whom I played Siberian punk rock and who is still brewed in rock-n-roll boiler of Underground music scene also call me Optimist. Perhaps, I will find like-minded people in Steemit. To do what I love and be free from financial problems. The Steemit offers are the new trend of the time, which should save people from the shameful dependence on the banks that enslave people and they forced most of their life to spend in resolving questions of own survival. To help each other, to be useful for people - that is the true goal, which should guide every person, if he wants to get help from others in carrying out his dreams, which seemed hitherto impossible. Together we can imagine the unimaginable and to grasp the immensity! Pleased to meet you! I'm Optimist! My first language is Russian, sorry if my English it's not perfect.
