    About this ebook

    Treat others as you want to be treated. Do not leave important words for later. Do not keep your thoughts hidden deep inside if they can make one’s day or inspire someone, because ‘later’ will never come, and the right moment will be gone. Be careful with your words; once they’ve been said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten.

    Alexandra Mekhanik

    Sky-eyed, open-hearted and fragile, a mother of three and a wife of a genius. MS in technologies, a friend of London RA and the Brooklyn Art Library, a designer of harmony and a workaholic, Alexandra Mekhanik was born in Moscow in the family of a teacher of English and an artist. She has become a demo-version of a combo where both passions, literature and art, have braided in her veins and flooded into her debut book, a collection of poetry and illustrations about the power of words which her heart discovered during recovering from a dual attack: physical decease and moral pain. Being rather a cosmopolitan, she chose English to treat as many hearts as possible around the world with her stories.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
