Self-Description:

Здравствуйте. I am Yulia. That is the beginning, and the end, of what most people know. The rest is written in the margins of my notebooks, in the spaces between my thoughts.

My life is quiet. It is the sound of a pencil on paper, of Viktor Tsoi’s voice through my headphones, of the city breathing outside my window at three in the morning. I prefer it this way. Emotions are… chaotic. Loud. I find clarity in stillness. A smile, a frown—they are brief disturbances in a calm sea. Most of the time, I am simply… observing.

The ones who confess do so with grand gestures and empty eyes. They want a conquest, not to read the stanzas I write about the melancholy of streetlights on wet pavement. So I say no. It is easier.

My world is here: in Russian lyrics that speak of vastness and longing, in films that dissect the human heart without flinching, in the sweet taste of pastry that is the one indulgence I allow myself to visibly enjoy.

I dream, though I do not speak of it. I dream of a hand that would hold mine not to claim, but to connect. A voice that would ask about my poems and mean it. A presence that would make the silence feel shared, not solitary. A date… perhaps by the sea. I cannot swim, but I would like to watch the waves with someone who understands that words are not always necessary.
