Enjoy your life

It was a cold moist Kiev evening. Morning pure snow mixed with dirt has turned at the end of the day into dark gray squash, sticking to wheels and boots of rare travelers. All good families were at home this late time, having their nice warm dinners or watching family shows together.
They have been resting before long and hard working week, so that to put a double effort on Monday in their offices and schools, and in the end to have well-earned weekends. What an endless and meanless process it is, to live for work and to work for a living!

The multicolored shop windows, lonely empty streets and cozy yellow light of high blocks with thousands of happy and not very much families threw me down into thinking of what I was doing there, in a big city, wandering alone. Where is my family, my old parents, my the only one sister, my happiness, my light in the window, always patiently waiting for me, for whom I’m always welcome. All those questions and weather has inspired me for pitting myself.

You can’t be happy all the time, sometimes it is necessary to suffer a bit. It gives you a sweet taste of real happiness at the end. So, I started to complain about my bad fate. How unfair it was to born in such a family, where you never have any support or at least little approval, just the smallest praise. Why everything you must do always on your own? How unfair it was to be thrown so early into crazy adult life circulation. Why you must be always strong and take account only of yourself? I want be weak, I need care, I’m so tired to fight with whole world, I’ve earned my pension yet!!

Thinking that miserable and hysterical way and driving slowly along a ring road towards the home I saw THEM. Night queens of the roads, object of pilgrimage for big fat connoisseurs from all over the world of famous Slav beauty (famous of their cheap prise). Huddled up from the frost they were worn in a way possible shortest skirts and jackets without any tights (and pants as I may guess) and looked very self-confident and provoking. Some drivers were so kind to give a lift to ladies this frozen evening. Happily selected one has slowly got into the car to so much kindhearted gentleman and again with a great honor on her face.

Right that moment I realized how much happy I’m! If you shouldn’t serve unknown freaks in the weekend evening on the road in the frost you may name yourself one of the happiest women in the world! If you have a family that will never let you fall down so low, it is the best family. And your temporary difficulties are nothing comparing to one of those lost girls. Step on the gas, and at a full speed I drive through my life, full of fun challenges, enjoying every kilometer. Dreadful pictures rushes past my tinted glass sometimes, but nobody see that I’m scared. A lot of place in my salon, but the only one and the same passenger will always share it with me till the point of destination. You have to belive the next turn will bring new excitement, unexpected possibilities, new hopes and the sea of joy.

Just sitting and reading your lines, listening to the sweet and perfect voice of Tarja Turunen ("Sadness in the Night"), almost the best one in the world. "Let me die"- she sings... Why it was that song playing while I tried to picture every detail you had described so brilliantly?! Forgive me, but I can't even comment on it in a proper way with my poor words:( But you usually finish your stories with rather optimistic mood. It's just something I could never do. Perhaps, the one who once said that I love suffering, was right. I just don't see other way than living in pain and waiting for an unhappy end! Well, let it be...
Lax, I enjoy your posts so much, but I'm begging you, don't ever write again "worm dinners"! Can you just imagine such a meal?:)

Muahahaha, great comment, Infinite, thanks! I will not feed people with worn dinners anymore, promise!

I’ve always wandered how my scribbling outlooks for native speakers or people with high language level. Now, think, it looks like the letters of Chinese student in Russia (Did you read this great piece of fun? If not, I’ll post it for you).

And to the first part of your comment which is very touching...I let myself to make a little analysis. The thing that you share your pain in poems on your blog and in comments means that you can’t suffer on your own anymore and trying to find the help from outside. It means that you don’t like suffering and deep inside actually don’t want to die. You want to be saved and wish to enjoy living as it should be. Try to remember, when the life turned to hell. From the beginning you were pure and joyful kid, find the moment and reason when everything started go wrong, there is a key for rescue, in the past.

May I also have these chinese students' records sent to me?

Great post, indeed. I too often wander about other peoples' lives, especially about ones physically disabled or begging for living. Compared to what they experience in life, mine seems happy enough for me.

But you know, Lax - I came to a conclusion that there's no sense in comparison. Those night ladies may as well be happy. Or probably themselves have chosen to live in such conditions.

Records of Chinese student are published especially for you! :)

I wouldn’t wish to anybody happiness to be a road girl :( To say the least of it, they risk their life, every time sitting down to a stranger
