hello, two thousand eighteen

(english version is available below)

привет <3 с новым годом тебя! сегодня - второе января. я проснулась в непривычно позднее для себя время, неспешно позавтракала мамиными сырниками, а теперь пью чай в своей детской комнате и пишу этот текст. первый в этом году. последние несколько дней я с удовольствием читала разнообразные посты с выводами о две тысячи семнадцатом и планами на две тысячи восемнадцатый. так или иначе, больше всего меня интересуют люди, их жизненный опыт, их мысли и эмоции. именно поэтому такие тексты для меня - особенно любопытны. так, например, аня написала текст о своем смелом решении уйти со стабильной работы и отправиться в свободное плаванье. мы с ней много раз говорили об этом в прошлом году, и я была очень рада тому, что она наконец-то может поделиться этими переменами у себя в блоге. в последнее время я много думаю о том, что наша жизнь состоит из множества уровней, как и мы сами. и то, что кто-то что-то делает вовсе не означает, что ему этот процесс дается легко. это означает исключительно то, что какие-либо другие варианты стали просто недопустимы. важно об этом помнить и важно об этом говорить. я уже подвела итоги своего две тысячи семнадцатого, а сегодня хочу поделиться с тобой планом на две тысячи восемнадцатый.

hello <3 happy new year! today is the second of january. i woke up much later than i usually do, slowly ate delicious "syrniki" made by my mum. i am now drinking tea in the room where i grew up and i am writing this text. the first one in two thousand eighteen. i have been reading a lot of year reviews and resolutions with pleasure lately. anyhow, i am fascinated by people and their experiences, as well as thoughts and emotions the most. this is why such posts are especially interesting to me. for example, anja has just shared her decision to quit a stable job and start a completely new independent journey. we have discussed this many times with her throughout this past year, and i am very glad that she was finally able to share this on her blog. i have been thinking a lot lately about our life being multidimensional and us people being the same. when someone does something, it does not mean that it is for this person, but it does mean that no other option is acceptable any longer. it is important to remember about it and to talk about it. i have already written my two thousand seventeen review, whereas today i would like to share my plan for two thousand eighteen.

five books in eight days

today i would like to tell you about the books that i read and to remind you that i started using good reads this year, so you can follow my reading progress here.

when i wrote "writing has been my solution from a very young age. everything that had happened and had mattered a lot to me, had to be documented in this or that (written) way. it is a meditation for me, it is a medication for me", i actually had to use "words" instead of "writing", because it is the power of words, that save me. both reading and writing is my remedy from everything. words are my favourite company, my guards and my heroes. they are always there for me in the form that i am free to choose. when i feel like i am full of thoughts - i write, when i feel empty and lost - i read. it sounds magical, but no matter what the problem is, i always feel better after doing one of those things. perfect solution? doing both.

so, a little bit more than a week ago i had to buy a present for a friend, i knew right away i would buy her a book. for a second, i wondered whether i would not be boring by making this obvious choice, but then realized that i am always happy to get a book and she is the same. a book i bought and, i hope, she liked it. of course, while "visitting" a bookstore online, i could not stop myself from buying a couple of books for myself. i did not have anything particular in mind and decided to buy something i have never heard of. this is what i do from time to time and the process of choosing is always a lot of fun.
