"better to live 40 years like a lion than 100 like a sheep."

In high school, I pissed on a classmate's doormat for hitting on a boy I liked and thought I liked. "Let her stay away," and I had absolutely no qualms about it.

A little later I quite accidentally dyed my hair bright pink. And my teacher urged me to dye my hair differently. I didn't think it was necessary for my studies, and continued to walk around like that, even though I didn't like that color at all.

At graduation, I got so drunk that I fell asleep in the restaurant right in the bathroom. I woke up in my own apartment, absolutely no idea how I got there. I saw three cups on my own kitchen table and I thought, there were three people here, but I have no idea who they were. I peeked under the covers and was very happy to see I was wearing underwear. It suggested that no sex had taken place, and I breathed a sigh of relief. But relief was short-lived. My mother's reproaches, "Is it normal for a girl to behave like that?" have not stopped to this day. When I was already a successful and grown-up girl. The only question she still likes to ask me is, "When are the grandchildren coming?"


I once kissed five different guys in one night. And no, we didn't play spin the bottle that night.

I still haven't finished "War and Peace," even in the abridged version. Forgive me, grandma librarian.

I decided not to wait for a man to mature and mature, and proposed to my husband myself, but he turned me down, well, then it wasn't fate, I thought!


Did I always do the right thing or the proper thing? NO! The only thing I can apologize for today out of all of the above is that I ruined my classmate's carpet with an unpleasant smell. Lena, I'm sorry. I won't do it again, I promise!

I could have been different... For example, I could have started cooking every day. But who would that make you feel better?

There are so many stereotypes about what a girl should be and how she should behave: a girl should not build a career, but stay at home, make soup and have children; a girl should not make the first step in a relationship or say she wants to get married; a girl should listen to a man in everything and do what he says just because he is a man, and so on and so on... But I don't understand at all who or why this is necessary. My life is filled with things, activities, people that make me happy. And I basically "don't care" if it's a woman or a man. I love my job and allow myself to disagree with my husband if his arguments don't seem strong enough. I adore my child, but I don't consider his accomplishments the only interesting topic to discuss with my girlfriends. And I don't want to conform to anyone at all. Life is so short to think about what others think. I choose to be happy! What about you?
