Anna Dymna recently announced that years ago she was on the verge of landing in an institution for the mentally ill. The doctor suggested it.

She admitted that he had even prepared a place for her in his center.
I don’t know since when, but I’ve noticed that I have such a strange trait. I often heard: “Everything’s collapsing, and the stupid one is smiling.” Even doctors noticed it years ago, when I was lying in hospital in Hungary after a car accident. I had a pus, I couldn’t breathe, some pipes were coming out of me, I was losing consciousness all the time. But when I woke up for a moment, I was supposed to be happy, smiling. The translator told me that they questioned him: “Who is this crazy from Poland ?! She is dying, and she is so happy!” Maybe smiling at life is an unconscious reflex for me?
