Let’s start our journey from the beginning ․
February 28․ Yerevan Night 4:20․ From Armenia to Timisoara Arus Sukiasyan 24 yeard old
Taking my 23 kg suitcase, I continued my way into the airport, the road seemed shorter ․․ a breath and a sip of water. I couldn’t say goodbye to my favorite Yerevan streets , but I left on the condition that I would return ․ Well let’s get to our days. It’s a little bit risky to go back where you were happy, in my opinion, if you have ever been madly happy somewhere on the planet, then you should perpetuate that period even from distances away. Going back to our days, February 29, 2020: I am in my room,in Timisoara ․․ Well, new things , new people, and new moments: so for me they are the key of life for new beginnings and that’s exactly my secret to adapting everything easily and living positively . I was carefree or fearless for a week, after the virus began to grow and grow, and the 14 days of isolation caused confusion inside me, 14 days without walking and 14 days without an air which is given naturally. In those days, we were counting the days until the end of the global epidemic, and we had to stay at home. Our new isolation began, but in this case we were able to go supermarket and every 15 days I made my way to the famous Lidle ․ ․․
Too often we were telling “ I don’t have time” . But then we had time and we were free to manage it ․․ I tried to use this whole process as effectively as possible. I started to study graphic design, read and discover new worlds that were in the shadows. We had days full of lessons, we had photo shoots and interesting conversations. We had a powerful and emotional photo-shoots with Aigly․․ Well, I took a photo of her, and she took it of me , so we managed to work together ․․ we just felt the moment, we felt the details or we lived them.
While reading all this, maybe everything will seem smooth and beautiful, but not! We had ups and downs, we had days without mood, days where we have been isolated, days where we have lived and days where we have hugged. Oh, talking about hugs , I just would say that if there was a hug contest, I would have already found my winner ․ Serbia is with us, yes – yes, you understood that’s my Milica correctly ․․
By the way, my favorite phrase in Serbian is “ok tebra” ․ I also learned this in the summer ․
Unlike Serbian, I don’t know Arabic, but we have Rachad and Ali with us. I remembered Rachad in quarantine for 14 days, when he was always thinking about going out , he is crazy , our dear crazy ․․
Ali doesn’t give his place to anyone in ․․ The master of the kitchen and the grandfather of our house knows how to cook all the secrets of delicious food and share the food.
I share my culture and language with Alisa who is the only one from Armenia with me , she is the youngest in our house ․․ who understands a lot even she is young and I don’t know why but she loves monkeys.
Of course, I didn’t forget about Marietta, she is from Greece. Marietta doesn’t like color yellow, but she loves cheese ․
Katya is also a fan of my favorite color. We have to work in the same Youth Center and unlike the rest of the team we have the opportunity to work together online. She is a kind of person, an extraordinary person .
Starting to summarize my 70 days and 70 moments, I want to say that you will come out of any difficulty and winner of the desired situation, if you notice the positive and live with the positive. I had a beautiful and meaningful birthday, I celebrated 24 here in my favorite city, but not in her arms, but closed ․ Well, we decided to celebrate the birthday of all of us together, after the virus, outside.
After 2 and half months, I finally found myself in the center of the city, and after taking a few steps, I began to remember the beautiful and bright days of summer ․․ summer energy and the days I lived here
If you will get an opportunity to be in this city, just be sure this will give you huge love and happiness.
