Every time losing last hope and faith, being detached from existence and deep into frustration, I yield to the growing anticipation of the end. When depression comes, I close my eyes, take a deep breath and I am on my way. I know the journey will be tough and dangerous. But I must follow the white rabbit and look for answers to the questions which have been torturing me as long as I can remember. The region I go to is alive and vibrant, it has its own principles, and every time I join the path, I feel excited about new experience and new secrets awaiting for me. There is enough space for me to hide and survive the approaching Apocalypse. And I have to discover all the treasures and solve the riddles to find tranquility I have been seeking for so long.
