As you know travelling has been always part of me. Something that kinda kept me alive.

But with the events of late (considering one penninsula that DID almost literally save my life), I am kinda afraid to even think of venturing to places. I am afraid to fall in love with places again. Of course, this was bound to happen... when you fall in love with troubled people or places, you should be expecting you will "lose" them. It could be much worse, I guess.

But I doubt I'll be trotting around Maidan again... and if I even go back, it won't be the same place, eh. As for the Crimean pennisula... I don't even wanna think about it. So for now i will pointlessly torture myself with screensaver of photos I took... over there.

Right now I kinda don't feel like being pro-humanity, I feel believing in future and internationalism is stupid... all my ideologies seem to be imploding, right on me. And it IS kinda big deal for me, because it was whom I am.

Not sure what to do... this was one of my big fears. Seeing my favorite places on fire. Silly me for incorporating places my feet touched into my soul. But it worked for a while.

Not sure what do cling to now. I feel too young to become bitter and resentful and look forward to good old days.

Oh Venus, its not silly at all.
Your foundation, your core has been shaken, so what you're going through is understandable and understandably upsetting too.

You may feel lost and apprehensive for a while, but I have no doubt you will find your footing once again.

As Trippin said you will find your footing.

Lots of changes have been going on in your life so you would /should be feeling this way I would be shocked if your weren't questioning all these things.

Cut yourself some slack and know you will land where you want to be ..

Here's a hug even tho you hate them , sorry

Well, applied as volunteer project leader for international project within my country. Let's see if I can still do this.

Meanwhile,I should pass my exam for teacher's licence. I actually spend two weeks teaching on the high school run by jewish community in Prague and I did suprisingly enjoy it (hope the kids did too). Maybe it's a way. None of them seemed too apathetic, so maybe it's not all lost.

But right now... I don't even know. So much for my advice on how to handle life and all that. Apparently, I mighta been deluding myself too.

Its great that you are going after you teacher's license. I believe apathy is taught. I know a lot is going on politically right now but for your usual self you sound very depressed.
Thanks for this!

Well, so i will lead a project called Help the elderly in Prague. A small one...

Been to a protest yesterday, which was sadly underattended.... (but I guess being called a "terrorist" in compassionate manner is a good take away...right?)

Silly, but....

One of our political personas liked this picture on facebook! (minirproud moment!!)


I guess I can do this. Whatever "this" is.

I love this, Venus! You have been a teacher to me through your many travels and incites, and now you are are willing and very able to teach kids!
Okay, maybe I am a bit too excited because I am a teacher and it is absolutely the best job in the world, but I have experienced all that you have to offer over the years, so you are wonderful in my book!

I have been wondering how you were faring through all of this conflict going on in your part of the world. You are NOT being silly, you are a young and very socially conscious woman who is to be admired for your passion and your strength. Please stay safe and strong. ((HUGS))
