Sipping freshly picked mint tea..
Hello!
For a while I have been quietly discovering and observing this unusual place. Trying to figure out whether I could fit in. It’s been a blast to see so many different personalities and I absolutely love it here.
My name is Jolanta, but here and other places I go by @m31. I have traveled around the Sun 27 times.
I am from Latvia. Grew up in countryside in the middle of forest with farm animals and two big dogs. I was a child with wild imagination. In the morning my mother would put a nice dress on me and evening when I returned home it would be impossible tell what color the dress used to be (I have learned a lot since then though). I climbed trees, drove grandpa’s tractors, made fishing rods out of nothing (MacGyver style) and was fishing even though it was forbidden for me to go near water and ran through the fields in the middle of the night with my two trusted companions.
Using my imagination is great part of my life. I recently quit my job because it was eating away that side of me. I could not draw, paint or write for almost 2 years. I was depressed and felt miserable. City life has never been for me. Therefore I have decided to take nature rehab back home with my family for now, to reconnect with my true self, read books, write, be creative (this place gives me ideas already), get my health under control, meditate, work in my garden (I love plants and plants love me) and I just wish to be peaceful for a while before jumping into new adventures.
My most recent drawing:
I hope there is more where this came from and that it will come back to me soon.
Thank you @pharesim for encouraging me to be myself.
Life works in mysterious ways, this feels like a perfect match! I'm so glad you found your way here at this point in time, this place perfectly complements your new old physical whereabouts. Enjoy the peace (and especially on here: keep out of drama)!
I love the drawing. What size is it?
Looking forward to see what else you find :)
//edit: damn, I was saving my 1000th post for something else. Well worth it. Welcome!
Thank you for encouraging more people like m31 to join steemit. Great way to enrich this platform with great content. Following you both, cheers!
Oh noes! (about your 1000th post, my apologies)
Life is mysterious indeed and everything happens for a reason. I had forgotten about this simple truth. It is still so strange to witness and be fully aware of your path unfolding as simple as that.
I will.
Thank you :) Size of it is A4
lol, that same thing happened to me... though my 1000th post happened to be even less relevant!

@jaimewilliam thank you for your warm greeting! Latvia is quite far from Peru, yes. The land without mountains, just plains and river valleys, never ending forests, bogs and lakes. I am so happy to be part of steemit family. :)
