a daylight dream

I wasn't that lucky when I was younger when it came to wishes and dreams since all of my materialistic childish desires were nipped away from me right before my eyes. To illustrate, I would spend a few months fantasising about a new phone and when I would get finally get it as a gift, it would not work and then I would end up in grave disappointment. Since then, I learned not to set my heart on those kind of wishes because they were usually too far-fetched and vulnerable to changes in circumstance, they were too controlled by factors other than mine. So, I ended up heading towards dreams of success, helping the world, building a good family and perhaps, an affluent career. Those kind of dreams kept me going even though they were also shaped by the common life instabilities.

Rainbow sunsets in Poland. Despite the heat and scorching sun rays, I adore summer and it seems that I'm the only one in the whole country that feels that way in May.

I cannot believe my first year in univeristy is already over, and it brings me quite painful twists in my heart. I am grateful for I've learned a lot, developed my potentials, strengthened my values and character and lastly, approached a more stabilised balance. The first semester was quite daunting for my professors were not as conscientious and the courses were really boring. Additionally, I was all alone and felt neglected by almost everyone! I entered univeristy hoping that I would envision my purpose before me from the very first day, but now I am aware that issues like that take time; time for my mind to link fates, establish connections between the things I had learned previously, and dive into imaginations of my path and whether or not it appeals to me.
