Dear Oliver,

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my excitement about creating websites with Framer's intuitive no-code platform.

Let's explore it together!Looking forward to discussing more about our design adventures!

My wife is from Russia and she won't cut my hair on a Sunday because it's bad luck. Also you have to burn the hair you cut, not just throw it in the garbage.


In some cultures, it is believed that when you sneeze, your soul is temporarily separated from your body, and saying "bless you" or "gesundheit" is a way to protect the soul from evil spirits or to ensure its safe return to the body.

Beliefs are a bit weird. Many of them can be wildly incorrect, and it just does not matter. We do things because we fear.

If someone were to believe that their blinking causes the sun to rise… Well, they would keep blinking.

Being in an International setting, it allowed me to talk to people from different cultures and beliefs, knowing how deeply these supertitious thoughts are instilled in our subconcious minds, most people dont even accept that they do believe in it. From a black cat crossing your road and making your day bad to sharing a post on facebook for a good day.
