I consider myself a stained-glass window. And this is how I live my life. Closing no doors and covering no windows; I am the multi-colored glass with light filtering through me, in many different shades. Allowing light to shed and fall into many many hues. My job is not to direct anything, but only to filter into many colors. My answer is destiny and my guide is joy. And there you have me. ↗

In any case, whenever technical progress opened a new window into the surrounding world, I felt the urge to look through this window, hoping to see something unexpected. ↗

I'm small, sleek and fast, but I can be lost, dropped on the floor, stolen, or chucked out a window at a moment's notice! To have my brain power in my small size should be enough. I'm brainy and beautiful, but two years from now I'll be obsolete! ↗
