Life’s Experiences

I have already been alive for almost 50 years in this world and I have learned a lot from life’s experiences. I have learned about good and bad, about sorrow and merry making, envy, wickedness, and hypocrisy.

As said by a famous German writer by the name of Gette: “Life is full of grime and struggle. Human life is the confirmation of it.”

I have read many psychological literatures where you can find meaning that we are all just temporary travelers in this world and we easily take to heart all the troubles and unpleasant moments. We have only one life. Think about your heart, because if you do not love yourself nobody will love you.

For prevention of problems and disappointments, you need to be smart and responsible for your own deeds.

I had problems in my life because I live in illusions and after illusion’s recovery I had big pain in my heart. I can not tell of the special situations about this but I have learned very much what is necessary to be a prudent and thinking person, to have your own opinion. I learned also that people like friendly and smiling people, people who listen more than speak.

I had some bad people in my life. They borrowed money from me, promised to give it back, and this never happened. I have learned to forgive such people and don’t keep evil about them. Just God can judge them.

I am lucky that I have two real girlfriends in my life who I have know for 33 years. I know the price of true relationship. It is women whom I can trust completely; they are very compassionate, and are willing to help and support me in all difficult ways of life.

One bad moment in my life is that I am an emotional woman and my expectations very often let me down. It’s happened and now I live in America. But I don’t give up, I have a positive attitude to live, and I keep smiling. I am sure that I will be nice and happy in my life.
