What's going to be my next future?
Time to start defining life I want to live. What are the criteria?
I'm almost 23, have graduated, have no family issues and no tight relationships that would guide me in my decisions. I'm free to make any choices I want. And exactly this freedom gives much more responsibility.
I want to make life better for people. There are many ways how it is possible. Through some direct work - focusing my career on concrete social or business initiatives. Or making the world better place through making life of people around me better, through my attitude to them. Don't know how well I did it before and do it now. Do I bring better feelings to people's life? For some probably yes :) I think I can do more. But the way to self-improving is not an easy one; and it's quite long - life-long. Anyways…
So in my longing for some "let's-make-the-world-better-place" contribution - what do I do next? I know actually the precise question. What is my passion in life I want to follow? What is the bigger meaning that would guide me?
I didn't hit it yet, to know at the moment of thinking about some activity - "YES! This is what I want to do."
Many people are into sustainable development recently. It should be definitely our reality, but probably is too broad for me to "click". Should it be anywhere? In my country? (heh, which one of them? Russia, I know). But does it matter where you work for good - in your country or in another? At the end we all become more and more interconnected. And after almost 6 years in AIESEC you feel that you can belong to anywhere. Isn't it too much of a choice? Well, better to have it, than to get a job in the capital city because this is the only best option you see. I'd aimed only for that if I hadn't my opportunities I had for last 6 years.
When I think about my future location, I think I want to raise my children and have my family, and have my contribution in Russia. If I don't do it, who will? Every country has its own children to help it. At least we should trust that Argentina for example produces enough people to believe in the country and work for the country. And I belong to mine.
But what to do if you get to love someone who is not from your nation? Will the love take over feeling of belonging to the country? Probably yes. I think love is the first and most important thing of all. But I'll think when and if the choice comes :)
Well, the thinking should be continued...

Svetochka, I hope it will be ok with russian coding! Не удержалась оставить коммент по этому поводу. Вчера ходила в бассейн - а в бассейнах Словении контингент примерно такой - на 10 человек 8 ососбей мужского пола и 2 - женского. Из 8 мужских 5 пенсионеров, причем обязательно очень общительных. Так вот вчера один минут 20 мне рассказывал о том, как здорово, что в Словению приезжают красивые русские девушки и спасут страну от вымирания, нарожая словенам детишек. Отчаянно уплывая от него, я его убеждала, что предпочитаю, чтобы мои дети были русскими)))
Аня, я смеялась все время, пока читала твой комментарий :)
поняла, что надо общаться чаще, хотя как всегда знаю, что наверняка опять долго писать не буду - наверное, как Айсек закончу и буду на отдыхе пару месяцев. Как у тебя дела в Словении, какие планы?
вообще лучше по емейл наверное Ж)
Светик, напиши электронку, куда тебе лучше написать - усе напишу. А где ты будешь на отдыхе находится?
