What Made Life so Different for Me

Updated on March 11, 2024

I share my experiences, my emotions and believe in myself. I am positive, confident and love life.

Easter Celebrations in Croatia

The changes caused me to feel mixed emotions in Croatia. Sometimes I feel like nothing will ever be or improve. I knew I had to get my act together. and get on with my life.

The frustration moments cause a build-up of stressful signs. I am sometimes faced with a heap of thoughts, and at times wish I could go on without a fuss.

That is not possible!

I get up on the ladder step by step and try to move up slowly. Unfortunately, I get back down faster than I had got up.

When I try to climb back up again, there is some other obstacle to come my way again.

I have all these obstacles that will not go away without returning again and again.

I do not make any scenes. My life has changed, and I just have to live with it accept it and start over. I have started over and it feels so different.

The best part of my life is to go home and see the other life the one I had left behind to find my roots all over again.

People think they know about me, but they do not it would take them forever to know me and forever to learn about me.

There is always something new about me.

Nobody will know for sure about another until they have walked in those shoes. When everything gets tough it goes down a good path. When everything gets rough it goes down the rough path.

If it all gets easy and comfortable you do not talk about any path. Living in that comfortable zone will not want you to think about any path.

How do I approach such changes?

I smile and greet my neighbours and deep down I know they will never see my way of life only their way matters the most.

As a foreigner, I know that nobody around me here would understand my past life.

To sit to have conversations with the local people is not a possibility for me.

It is not because of the language, but instead of the different mentality that makes us feel that way.

You can only know what you know best.

For example:

I was raised in a different culture and I know the meaning of true values.

Another part of my life that I am trying to understand more and more currently. For the Easter Celebrations or other Catholic holidays, I am not on track for such days. I enjoy each day with a happy moment.

I learn every day from my little experiences with people and I laugh truly and do not think badly of others. I am an open-minded individual.

I do not care what goes on in the next-door neighbour's house and do not go around gossiping about others.

The Easter celebration is an exciting event.

I got interested in painting boiled eggs and wanted the occasion to be exciting. The colourful eggs are very attractive and are such a lovely time of the year.

It is much warmer, and everyone bakes cakes and Easter goodies.

This festival is one of the most celebrated worldwide.

The eggs are eaten or kept as decoration for a short period.

The baking carries on for a week and is offered to many visitors. Home-made liquors are offered on this occasion.

I look forward to more paintings of the eggs and I would like to show off my art of work too. Easter celebrations are one of the greatest times of the year for all Catholic people.

Palm Sunday is when most of the local people attend the local church. The hand-made palm is blessed for a year.

A year later the Palm is discarded. The process carries on annually. The surprise visits from our neighbours make this occasion most joyful.

On Easter Sunday the Croatian men get together with their sons and throw a coin into the egg. The target from a distance is approached directly into the egg, and this is attempted with a clean hit into the egg.

Once a target is achieved, they consider the event to be a lucky one.

It is fun and interesting!

A time that shows me more of what I should know about a new culture.

Life has taken me by surprise and still am going through my time the time only I can talk about and feel free to express in specific ways.

When I feel happy it shows on my face.

I appreciate my unique culture and like to learn from other cultures.

I feel disconnected from my past life.

Far from my family and that is my reason for feeling that way. I am free to walk and be at peace in my place.

My beautiful countryside has lots more to explore. I feel positive about how I pass my days.

When I have something to look forward to that gives me the greatest pleasure in planning. I go further with new experiences and with new thoughts.

What now I know of and what will remain to be seen?

I like what my new life has brought to me.

It made me see that life has many obstacles and avoiding these obstacles is not living the true hassles of life.

I have to face up to what comes toward me and must fight against what pushes me down and get up with great force to keep up with my challenges.

Life is what you make of it! It is often easier to speak of than to do, and when you know what you want from life, you can make everything feel happier and fulfilled around you.

Be confident and show your all sides to people who can accept you or ignore you.

Why should you care what others want and what others want you to be?

You can be what you want and achieve what you want in life.

Nobody said life would be a fairy tale and that everyone would live happily ever after.

Not all experiences are luxurious and comfortable experiences.

Everything comes to you when it's due.

You get what you have always wanted if you work your hardest toward that goal.

When you are hopeful, you will see miracles.

Are you living in a dream to keep yourself alive with daily plans?

Plan and plan hope and hope, if that is what you do then do not give up.

There would be a time when you would sit down and talk about those hard days and laugh about your great achievements.

Never be afraid to love and to dream of what you want from your life.

If you do not dream you will not experience reality.

In every culture, there are unique celebrations.

I learned of a new culture and practised a few times different events. I enjoyed my new experiences and now live with acceptance and freedom.

Everything felt difficult in the beginning and in time everything came to me as I felt happy and normal again.

I felt at ease when I did not feel the need to change for anyone.
