Invisible in a world full of molds,
We search desperately for someone who will see us–
Beneath the masks, beneath the facades, beneath the uncertain smile.
Will today be the day that someone will finally take notice of me?
Hear my words, look into my soul,
Acknowledge the small flame of my existence?
Will you be the one to stop by for a moment,
And warm your hands briefly by my fire?
To let me know that for a moment in time,
I was not alone in a world full of molds.

Hello and welcome to my page~
My name is Larisa--a very common Slavic name that was either derived from the Latin word hilaris, meaning "cheerful," or from the Greek city of Larissa, meaning "strong fortress."
Born in Ukraine, I emigrated with my family to America when I was still a small child and now make my home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Growing up immersed in two vastly differing cultures led me to have a burning curiosity about people all over the world. Stemming from said curiosity, I have fallen in love with traveling to other countries, meeting new people and delving into their culture, exploring new cities, and of course, dining on the local cuisine!
If I cannot escape into a different country, then my next favorite method of adventure is to lose myself in a spectacular book. I enjoy books of all genres--from fiction and novels, to biographies and ethnographies. As long as it captures my fancy and holds me spellbound the entire time, I will burn through the book like a forest fire! Because of this penchant for reading and travel, coupled with my love of deep and mysterious things, I have been often called a dreamer and I find the title suits me.
With that being said, I invite you to stay a while, perhaps make yourself a cup of tea and linger through my posts and feel free to comment or share a thought :-)

I love Shel Silverstein. One of my favorite poets since childhood. I really like your take on it! The Van Gogh reference is one of my favorite quotes, too!

Thank you! Shel Silverstein is classic, I bet every kid was probably drawn to him at some point.

The small flame of your existence? For those who read you, you burn very brightly, Larisa (obedient iPhone in use).

Oh Rob, that really moved me, thank you so much. Believe me, there are times I am like the wildfire and other times I have felt as though I was nothing more than the cinder tossed about by the wind, for all that my troubles had got me. (Side note, at the hospital where I worked, my friends and colleagues used to call me “Larisa with one s.”)

You’re welcome. You write beautifully 😊. Your colleagues sound like they have iPhones, too. My iPhone is being a smart ass . I type your name and it autocorrects it to “Onenessa”😉

Laughing! You must have typed Onenessa into your phone at one point, because that is not even a word!

I’m pretty sure it’s Latin for ‘one s’ 😉
