A new beginning


When I stepped off the plane, the fresh air wrapped around me, reminding me that everything was about to change. I found myself in an unfamiliar country, surrounded by landscapes that felt surreal, almost as if I were dreaming. The vast, different horizon welcomed me with promises I couldn’t yet understand. I knew life here would be different, but I didn’t realize how deeply it would transform me.

The first days were full of discoveries. I walked through streets that seemed to have their own language, an energy I didn’t know, but that made me move forward. At first, everything seemed new and strange, but with each step, I felt a mix of excitement and challenge. Every door that opened, every face I passed, was an invitation to keep exploring, to build something different.

Over time, I realized that this place wasn’t here to change me but to teach me something about myself. I learned to observe, listen, and understand the rhythms of life around me. It wasn’t about resisting or longing for what I had left behind, but about allowing this new environment to teach me new ways of being. Little by little, my routine began to take shape, and with each small achievement, I felt something inside me grow stronger.

I started to adapt in ways I hadn’t anticipated. What once seemed impossible became part of my everyday life. I walked through the parks, watched the ever-changing sky, and felt that this new country was somehow becoming a part of me. In its landscapes, I found a kind of peace, a calm that allowed me to breathe deeper, as if with every breath, I absorbed a little more of this land that no longer felt so foreign.

It wasn’t easy, but I never expected it to be. Resilience, I learned, wasn’t about resisting change, but embracing it. With each challenge, with each day, I realized I was building a new life, a version of myself that could only have been born here. And though I sometimes felt the nostalgia of what I had left behind, I knew this new path was leading me to a place that was stronger, and more authentic.

Looking back, I see that it wasn’t me who adapted to this country, but both of us adapted to each other. Like two streams of water that meet and flow together, I found a way to move forward, to grow in a place that offered new horizons. Today, in this strange land that has become familiar, I keep walking, knowing that each step is an opportunity to reinvent myself and keep moving forward.

The Beauty of adaptation

Stepping into a new work environment was like walking into an unfamiliar landscape. Everything around me felt different—the sounds, the pace, the tools I was expected to use. It wasn’t the kind of work I had imagined myself doing, and yet, there I was. The comfort of what I once knew seemed miles away, replaced by the challenge of the unknown. At first, it was overwhelming. My hands weren’t used to this kind of labor, my mind wasn’t accustomed to the routines and patterns I was learning. But with every passing day, something shifted. I began to understand the rhythm of the work, the flow of tasks that seemed so foreign at first. Slowly, I realized that I wasn’t just adapting to the job; I was becoming part of it. The simplicity of the tasks began to reveal a beauty I hadn’t expected. There was something satisfying about mastering each step, about contributing to a larger process. I found myself looking forward to the challenges, knowing that each new hurdle was an opportunity to learn ...

The Art of flowing with change

When I found myself immersed in this unfamiliar environment, I knew it wouldn't be easy. The shadows of uncertainty surrounded me, and with every step, I felt the weight of doubt. But there was something that kept me going: the conviction that, no matter what happened, I could adapt.  On the first day, everything was foreign to my senses. The shapes, sounds, and dynamics there seemed completely different from what I knew. I felt like a stranger in a new world, but I knew that giving up was not an option. So I allowed myself to make mistakes and learn at my own pace. It was then that I discovered something essential: it wasn't about being the best at that moment, but about embracing the process.  Over time, I learned to observe carefully and to listen attentively. It wasn't a matter of being the strongest, but of being flexible, of molding myself and flowing with what the environment offered me. Adapting didn't mean giving up who I was, but expanding it, enr...

Solitude amid the celebration

  The lights flickered insistently, casting fleeting shadows on the walls that felt more alive than the people around me. The colors danced in vibrant hues, yet they couldn’t warm the air. Everything in this scene was crafted to evoke joy, yet my chest felt like an empty drawer no one had bothered to fill. I’ve never felt as if I belonged here. Faces came and went, some with smiles that never reached their eyes, others with kind words wrapped in velvet but sharp as knives. I feel like a complete stranger surrounded by people I cannot trust. How many of those glances were genuine attempts to connect? How many were simply pretending because that’s what we’re supposed to do during these festive days? I tried distracting myself with the decorations on the table: the sparkle of glassware, the sweet aroma rising from the dishes, the candles flickering in rhythm with conversations I couldn’t understand or care to. But at its core, everything felt like a theater, and I was merely a spectat...
