Every morning began the same way: the alarm rang at 7:30, she got up, made coffee and quickly got ready for work. Julia was always punctual, but her eyes increasingly showed fatigue. Everything seemed to be fine: a stable job, a cozy apartment, a couple of loyal friends. But somewhere deep down she understood that this was not what she dreamed of.

Sometimes, returning home, Anna stopped at the window, looking at the city lights. The thought came to her: “Why do I feel lost, although I have everything?” She tried to find the answer in books, films, even during meditation sessions, but understanding herself slipped away like sand through her fingers.

One evening, tired of the usual rhythm of life, Julia took a notebook and began to write. She wrote down everything that worried her: fears, dreams, grievances and hopes. And suddenly, in the chaos of her thoughts, one idea appeared - to go on a trip. Not for the sake of rest, but to perhaps find answers to the questions that had tormented her for so long.

Julia did not know where exactly she wanted to go, but she intuitively felt that she needed to start small. She decided to go to a neighboring city where she once spent her childhood. Her notebook became a companion, where she wrote down everything she felt along the way: smells, sounds, thoughts.

It was on the way to this place that her heart began to whisper something new: scraps of memories, joy from simple things, a desire to find out who she was again.

To be continued...

Yulia hasn't found all the answers yet, but her journey has just begun. Perhaps the next chapter of her story will be about how the road led her to unexpected discoveries, new people, and, finally, to meeting herself.
