Self-Introduction

I am a person who has lived in different places, and that has shaped me. Ukraine, Israel, Cyprus — each of these places has its pros and cons. I was born in Crimea, and it is still painful for me to see that it is under occupation. For me, this place is not just a dot on the map — it’s roots, childhood, memories. But now it is in hands of those I cannot even call human. It’s a heavy subject and I often think about how much my life has changed because of it...

At the moment I'm temporarily living in Israel. I can’t say this is the final point. Rather, it’s a pause, a place of waiting. Life has not yet shown me where to go next. Sometimes it feels like I’m stuck at a crossroads, and ahead could be any road. Israel is good in the sense that you can feel the energy here, but there are plenty of difficulties too. I’m not chasing illusions, I understand that every country has its hidden pitfalls.

I love nature. For me it’s the best way to reset, and I don’t need crowds of people to feel alive. On the contrary I’m more of an introvert. I feel comfortable being on my own.I can easily spend a day at home or on a walk alone. That’s enough for me not to feel empty. I value communication with people, but only when they are adequate and normal. With empty conversations, I lose patience quickly.

There’s another point — technology. I’m good with computers, and it is something that comes naturally to me. Sometimes I can tweak something in web design,but it’s not my main thing. It is more like a hobby and sometimes a side job. My main work is connected with medicine, I work part-time in a medical institution. There’s its own specifics, its own routine, but at least I see that it’s useful work.

When I look back at all this, I see that I'm person without a clear script. I don’t have a mappedout plan of where I’m going and why. And there’s some truth in that. Sometimes it’s scary, there’s no certainty, no feeling that everything is under control... But at the same time it gives me freedom and I can move wherever I want. My life right now is about waiting for the next step, and I know it will come,but I don’t know where and when, and that’s okay. I’m not trying to appear as someone else. I am who I am — I love silence, I don’t like unnecessary talk, and I respect intelligent and simple people. And I wait for life itself to show me where I’ll go next.

I hope it’s okay if I introduce myself without a photo?
