My biggest present

This year was crazy. Finishing one University, quitting from another one, moving to another country and living by myself for the first time in a place where people do not even share my language.

Before coming to my EVS I was sure everything will change: people don’t know me, my past and life background. I was sure I would be another person and everyone would love me. But I didn’t realize one simple thing - no matter where you go, there you are. I think it is the biggest challenge I was faced during my life here: you can’t give nothing and still expect a lot from others. All the people are not your parents and will not love you with same degree just because. I was always looking for the best place, best people and etc. Easy way to lose everything I have just next to me.

But there was a person who helped me the most during this long way to accept myself, to understand I should not escape from myself all the time, care about the feelings of others and be brave whatever happens. I appreciate the time and talks we had with each other, even though we had some struggles and misunderstandings before. She made me more stronger and open-minded in many things just being a perfect example. I was taught a lot from her even if she didn’t realize it.

I am very happy where I am now, I am very happy to had her as a flatmate, co-worker and a friend. I enjoyed the time we spent together in our house with dancing, cooking and recieving her secret messages on the fridge which I like the most. She makes every detail special and turn life in a way I couldn’t imagine before.

In one point I stopped looking for a better place. I am home, here.

I will always remember the EVS life we spent together.
