[Vautrin]

Luba, as you may have read in the posts I have made, I spend most of my time reading and writing.

In a way writing allows me to express my stress and thoughts on people and situations. Situations which are somewhat tragic in one way or the other, which leaves a person or a group of persons in very miserable situations.
There is a great deal of strive and drama in life - which I want to understand, and express so that I won't suffer in similar ways. Or suffer as much because of the situations I find myself in, due to my increased awareness.

I suffered my fair share of heartbreaks, but I have recovered very quickly form it, due to this.

I agree with you, that it is wise to stay clear from the office gossip and politics. If there is nothing negative to report, nothing will go wrong - but that is not the case, and soon distrust will build. And suddenly you will find yourself amidst strife.
