Sometimes it seems like your body is living its own life: your muscles are twitching, your heart is beating faster, your thoughts are racing, and every cell seems ready to rebel. How can you stay calm?

Robert De Niro once said: "Any depression should be met with a smile. Depression will think you're an idiot and run away."

They say that happiness loves silence. And it’s true — no one has to know all your plans, dreams, and little joys. Let them ripen inside, like grapes in the sun, gaining flavor and strength.

We don't even suspect how many interesting things about us are known by those whose existence we don't even know about.

Charles Robert Maturin said it beautifully: "Smiles are the legitimate offspring of happiness, but laughter is very often the bastard son of madness."

They say that the best dessert is a piece of chocolate. But there is a delicacy that is even sweeter - revenge. And unlike cake or pastries, you can savor it as much as you like, without worrying about extra centimeters on your waist.

💜💜MY MOTHER'S HEART HURTS💜💜BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'M HAPPY THAT MY YOUNGEST CHILD IS NOW ALREADY AN ADULT💜

🌞🌞I AM SO HAPPY🌞🌞 THAT I WILL SOON BE ABLE TO LEAVE CYPRUS AND START A NEW LIFE

I AM GOING THROUGH SUCH A DIFFICULT STAGE IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. AND MY HEAD IS JUST CRACKING WITH EXCITEMENT

Now I'm learning to listen to myself🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is my bike speed, when I rush along the morning streets and feel how every cell of my body comes to life.

And I'm still trying to figure out what it means to "enjoy summer" when there's no one around to share these moments with. Sometimes I catch myself thinking that loneliness makes the sun even brighter. But then I realize that it's more of an illusion 🌻.

It doesn't come to those who seek it, and it doesn't leave those who cherish it. I've been thinking about fidelity lately... and I realized that this word has always sounded almost like a boring, outdated code to me. 📜 But the more I observe the world, the more clearly I understand: true fidelity is a rare luxury, and perhaps the main source of happiness.
