Hello everyone,

Since I've run out of ideas to write about, I have no idea what this topic about. I just want to share with you my thoughts and tell you about me a little bit more.

2020 year hadn't been easy for all of us. I remember myself planning the summer of 2020 and I thought that it would be incredible summer, because I was supposed to work abroad, get a well-paid job. As you may have already know, all my plans fall through. I could get this job, but my position was engaged by the time I was ready to leave Russia. I feel strongly that this situation had made me stronger, as I started to look for a job by myself. I didn't have anyone who could help me. Just me and Facebook page. I had been looking for a job during the whole summer and it made sense. I've acquired a lot of knowledge about the industry by now and I'm sure that it won't be a problem to find a job next summer. However, during my searching for a job last summer, I had some chances and I even had interviews in English despite I didn't even practice my speaking skills. It was a really tough challenge for me, but at the same time it was a great experience that pointed out at my weaknesses. The saddest part of my searching was in August. I finally found a job in Turkey and I thought that I'm the luckiest because only Turkey was opened for Russians. The employer had bought me a flight ticket, but then my flight was cancelled without a reason 3 days before the flight. So all my plans fall through and I stayed in Russia. That really frustrated me. I had been zoning out (if I can say that way) for a week without doing anything.

I've started to noticed that I have an insatiable work ethic, as 2021 came and I created some goals. I literally don't think about anything else than English learning. At some point it's cool, but on the other hand it might be a problem. I'm inclined to believe that I'm becoming an introvert. I don't actually like parties and all these events. Conversely, I've become more interested in meditation, minimalism, learning languages. I've even started to read books. I had never read any books, however I assume "English" made me to do it haha. I explicitly told myself that firstly, I need to get this job.

Additionally, I've started to realized that walking and spending time with my friends became boring for me. I feel that we don't have mutual interests. I like learning languages, unlike my friends and sometimes we just don't know what to in our boring city. So I would like to meet new friends, especially abroad. I want to figure something new in my life and get more experience in different areas.

That's what I wanted to share with you.

Marco
