What do you do?
I work as a sound engineer in Youth Centre Velenje. In the past I left my mark in every molecule of the centre from 1996 till today. Well, today not as much.
The time I spent my youth was 40 years back. I think every teenager should have the chance to live freely, to enjoy life and discover, sadly that's not always the case. I can say that I was very happy, free and independent as a child and teenager. As a child of a single mother, I had to learn very early to fight for things. I bought my first record player and football boots (the best ones) by carrying garbage cans and cleaning the staircases in my granddad's block, who was a janitor. A person creates their own happiness, fun, and all the interesting things in life. I've been doing this all my life with as little dependence on others as possible.
As a teenager, the hardest thing for me was that my mom, who was a single mom, had to work two jobs, got married and lost her husband again, he was buried while I was on my graduation trip. I practically lived all my life without a father.
With my friends I loved our band Krvava Rosa. We first performed at 14 years old in front of 3000 people at Tito Square as the opening act for Šank Rock. I wrote the lyrics myself, while my best and only friend in life, Šiniša Hranjec, composed the music. I also played football. We went to the movies every week. For at least five years, we traditionally lit a bonfire on the hill of the children's playground. There I smoked, drank, and fell in love for the first time. We explored the forests around Velenje, stole cherries under the Šmarno church, caught trout in Ložnica, to where we rode with stolen bikes from in front of the old Nama department store and then always returned the bikes to the same place.
Today, I don't know the child within me.
Today, I would tell my younger self: Stop thinking about others and do something for yourself, or else you'll be old and poor because the world of the future is a world of materialism, consumerism, and selfishness.
What I like most about working with young people is their fundamental naivety, which you can direct towards something positive. In 27 years, I've seen quite a few generations, and that has always inspired me.
