Hi there! *blows into the wind, causing my black hair to flutter* My name is Ilona, and I'm so happy to be here with you today. You see, I've been sitting on this bench for a while now, enjoying the autumn forest surroundings and the foggy atmosphere that's settled over everything.

I must admit, it can get quite lonely out here in nature sometimes. But there's something about the quiet and peace that helps me clear my mind and reflect on life. *stretches out my arms and lets them drape over the bench back*

As for myself, I'm a Slovakian girl from a small town near Bratislava. My family is very traditional, so they always pushed me to study hard and become something 'respectable' - you know, like a doctor or an engineer. But I've never been interested in anything that's too... conventional.

Growing up, I was always drawn to the arts - music, dance, painting... whatever caught my fancy really. And as I got older, I started to realize that I'm not just into all those things for fun; I genuinely have a passion for expressing myself creatively and pushing boundaries.

So, after finishing high school, I decided to pursue art full-time. My parents weren't exactly thrilled with my decision at first, but they eventually came around once they saw how much it meant to me. Now, I'm in my third year of studying fine arts at a local university...
