I remember my 2022 started with so many plans and decisions. In fact, I had some new year's resolutions which completely ruined and became ups and down in February. I lost my job, my career, and my upcoming project plans. But one thing went well due to this war and that is I ended up in Europe (though I wanted to travel to Europe as a traveler) and was able to see a lot of friends. Things didn't go according to plan, I had to left and lose many things, and became a refugee.
Many people say that she is lucky, she ended up in Europe because of war otherwise she never could explore Europe which is entirely wrong. I always had the opportunity for E-visa for 90 days as I was living in Ukraine but due to covid and financial circumstances, I couldn't travel. Is it enough reason to feel lucky to be in Europe!! I don't think so. Mean people will always be mean to me and I shouldn't care because they are not in my shoes.
Anyway, I took a short break from Hive because I was busy. I did extra work this holiday season to earn some extra money. Here if you work on public holidays, you will get an extra 50% so I worked for that. Every day after the hard shifts, I used to come to my room and bed was my only companion. I was so tired that I used to fall asleep after work.
I don't celebrate Christmas but this year Santa arrived early for me and Gigi. After a lot of sadness, struggle, and hardship finally I was able to feel happiness and joy. After coming to Europe, life was not like before but still, life is good.
December was all about celebration and exploration. I bought a lot of gifts for the people and I was able to give them to only a few people who were around me. I still need to send many because now I am surrounded by a lot of people who love me.
This was the busiest holiday season and Xmas eve for me which was unexpected. I received a lot of gifts; thoughtful gifts from the core of people's hearts.
A lot of good things happened within this one week. I went to see the Avatar movie in 3D which was great, I went to see Amsterdam's 11th light festival which I will share soon with you. I ate good Turkish, Mexican, and Indian food; got drunk like crazy, and explored a beautiful castle in the Netherlands with someone special from Hive (the story will be here soon). 1 week felt like a dream. Holiday spirit this year brought joy only for me I felt. I never felt so loved and special in my entire life.
I had no plans for Xmas but it all happened so suddenly.
Gigi's health improved a lot, her wounds are almost recovered, her health is better and she is happy now. She received a lot of love and gifts as well like her mama.
This year was all about giving back to people from my side. I did a lot of shopping for the people who did a lot for me. At least little things I can do for them, I know they don't expect from me but it's my way of saying thanks.
Do you remember that large box I got from Santa a few days ago? The letter was from Santa and it was saying I should open it on Christmas eve. Well, I opened it finally but after Christmas eve. The box was sent by Anna (@bulldog-joy) from Germany and finally, I opened it. It was full of good goodies. I already started eating the chocolates I have got so far and becoming fat. Gigi is enjoying her treats every day.
The comfiest and coziest Christmas of my life...
Last but not least, a nice gift bag from Switzerland made me shocked. The gifts were thoughtful though she thinks that these gifts are not enough. She was confused about what to give me and she gave me the loveliest gift ever.
The candle "I don't know what to get you for Christmas" made me smile. There was a thoughtful gift and that was a book called " The little book of Joy". I started reading the book already whenever I have time. Pure joy in life and I wonder how she knew that I would love to read such kind of book. Thank you, Martina (@delishtreats)...
I have more to share about her but next time...
This 1 week brought so much happiness in my life and this joy kinda helped me to mild my inner pain. I still miss being at my own home and wanted to have my own Christmas eve. But this life is not bad at all. Should I feel proud of being a refugee? No, but I am grateful for all the love I received from my friends.
I also received greetings, gifts, and hugs from the workplace. I don't know about tomorrow but I am happy that today is a good day.
I know I always share my problematic life with you and make you feel bored. Probably many of you might think that when she gonna stop sharing her misery but it is not like that. I write what I feel and I guess that's why people know me and consider me a friend...
Sending a lot of love and hugs to everybody. Thank you for being with me always...
By the way, my Dutch lesson is going crazy, I speak and pronounce horrible Dutch :D :D
Thanks for reading... See you soon...

Despite the adversity, and how hard it is to be a refugee, reading that you can write in this post that 'life is good' gives me a strong tenderness that brings tears to my eyes, sorry if my comment sounds tearful, but it is what it is.
I'm glad to hear that Gigi is better.
The label on that candle made me laugh a little :)
This thing about learning languages has always seemed difficult for me, I suppose it's because I have problems even in my own native language (personal laugh).
I wish you to be well and that everything improves.

I know that feeling because I have been going through the same emotions. I still can't believe how much people love and support me and are always beside me whenever I need them. I thought I would be alone here but in time I met good people who filled my life with joy and happiness. It doesn't matter what the happiness and joy will be for a certain period of time. What matters to me is that these people inspired me and made me courageous...
I still can't believe I am saying this after going through a lot but yea, life wanted to me live and move on...
Learning a language is my weak point and I guess it will take a long time to speak proper dutch with people...
