Hello my friend xxx.
I am glad to receive a letter from you again . After you wrote to me, a smile appeared on my face.
Keep writing to me and of course don't forget to send your photos.
I really find joy both in nature and in the big city, each of these environments has its own unique charm and
offerings. Nature attracts me with its beauty and tranquility. In the forest, by the sea or in the mountains,
you can feel real peace, hear the birds singing, enjoy the fresh air and completely disconnect from the hustle
and stress of urban life. These moments allow you to regain strength and recharge your batteries. On the other
hand, a big city also has many advantages. This is a place where life boils and many opportunities open up. A
variety of restaurants, museums, theaters and concerts can be found in the city. Modern architecture, cultural
events and the dynamics of urban life provide a powerful boost of energy and an opportunity for development.
Cities also provide ample opportunities for career growth and communication with interesting people. So for
me, the choice between nature and a big city is not an easy one. Sometimes I crave peace and solitude in the
bosom of nature, and sometimes I enjoy the rapid rhythm of urban life. Both environments enrich my experience
and give me what I lack at this stage of my life.
The weather has been unfavorable outside since the morning. It's the autumn period in our city now,
and for me it's time the year is not a favorite. Who likes autumn, who doesn't. All of us people are
different. The hot days of summer are behind us. There were depressing short days before the
beginning of winter. It was cloudy outside today. I decided to take public transport, as it didn't
rain much. In order not to get wet in the rain, my choice was to take the bus. I got to work quickly
in 15 minutes. I didn't even notice how I got there. before work. In the morning, it felt like it
was about +8 Celsius outside. That's the way I had before work. By the way, my friend, how are you
getting there before your job? Do you use your own private transport or public transport?
And on a day off, I plan to go to an orphanage to help children in need who do not have parents.
Basically, I help the orphanage with clothes, toys and, of course, material assistance , if my
finances allow. You will most likely ask the question why am I doing all this, and what is the
meaning of my actions??? First of all, I help the orphanage because I personally grew up in this
house and I have feelings of compassion for these children because when I was in exactly the same
situation. All children have different stories , how are they got into an orphanage . In the first
category of children, parents have been deprived of parental rights to a child, most often this is a
problem of parents who often abuse alcohol. The second category of children , parents have died and
there are no relatives who would take custody. But in the third category, parents simply refused
their children. I also belonged to this category. Until I was taken away from the orphanage by an
elderly couple . I was taken away at the age of 6, and they were engaged in my upbringing until I
was 20. They were wonderful people who gave me the love and care that I lacked in kindergarten the
house. . My foster parents were well-off people, not that they are rich. They had enough money to
support themselves and my sister and me . My foster parents have a daughter, my eldest sister named
Marina. This is the best and beloved person who has remained in my life now. We communicate very well
with her, and maintain family relations. I love her very much. Life was wonderful until trouble
happened in our family. First, mom died, and after 4 years , dad died because he couldn't bear the
loss of mom. Of my relatives , only my stepsister Marina remained .
I have been trying to find my real parents for a long time, but all my searches were unsuccessful.
Now I try not to think about it. If it wasn 't for my foster parents, then I don't know how my fate
has turned out now and what I was doing now. But, it's a pity that I can't say thank you to them.
I'm sorry that I showed weakness now , but I think it's better to tell you right now about my
childhood than you would have found out later. I hope you didn't mind learning a little bit from my
past life.
I want to end my letter with this. I look forward to your next letter. Your friend Irina.
P.S In the photo, it's me and my sister.
