Life is a box of chocolate

One day I was sharing my working experiences in China with my Ukrainian friends, I was telling them how much I loved the job. For some of them a dream job sounds like utopia. Is it possible to wake up with a smile instead of "i-hate-mondays" on a face, and not count days till Friday? My answer is "yes", if you do the things you meant to do. There's a quote I agree with: "Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". I go to work with pleasure. I'm looking forward to students greeting me and hugging me in their arms. (They started calling me "mother"). Of course, I'm tired sometimes and may have problems with managing 40 students in a class. But every day I'm grateful for having a chance to do what I like.

It's impressive to see 6000 students doing the morning exercises.

When I'm in China, I'm a workaholic, that's why when I got a job offer in a weekend camp teaching adults, I couldn't refuse. (And it was probably the best life decision I've ever taken). My personal goal isn't only to give them knowledge but also encouragement. If only you knew how much stress Chinese people have while speaking English! Therefore, we create a relaxing environment, play lots of games to help them overcome the language barrier. And I think we do it quite well. After two days of the camp I see their progress and "I can do it" attitude. This makes me want to work even harder.

So that's mainly what I'd been doing recently until a life changing event happened. It was the end of April, I was reading books, watching motivational video, I finally made everything clear to myself-thoughts in my head were in order, like books in a library. I found a reason why I was unable to have serious relationships (actually the problem was in me, in my negative attitude to men, marriage and so on), and why I couldn't define my life path. I was my own psychologist. After days of self-reflexion, I admitted the truth about myself, and set myself free. I wrote on the paper "2 months left" (I was certain, that I would leave China this July), deleted all my dating apps (the reason why I had them is because I can't live without communication), I didn't go out, and started making plans for my trip back to Europe. But you know what happened?

I met Him, a special person, who loves me more than anything else, who admires me, who sees my soul, who understands me, who feels me, raises me to heaven, makes my wishes come true. Well, you know before for me the best things in life were buying tickets and going to new places, eating a dessert on Sunday, long talks about life with friends, sunsets at the beach or good music. My life was very exciting! I didn't complain at all. I had everything. Now I have even more than that. My world became a holiday. I can't explain how it happened (magic, that's it). I was constantly repeating to my friends: China isn't the right country to find Mr.Right (well, being a realist and having certain expectations may hurt sometimes), I was expecting to meet him somewhere in Eastern Europe, never here. (God was probably laughing at me). Now I realised one thing–it was all worth waiting for so long.

I want to walk my life with you

You don't believe in destiny yet? Wait, a wonder is about to happen :)
