Never stop discovering because life has so much to offer ✨️

14/12/2025

Today something important happened.

I manifested the $500 I needed to move forward with my application to Columbia University.
Not by forcing, not by compromising myself — but by waiting and staying true to my values.

Many people offered help, but some expected something inappropriate in return. I chose not to engage with that energy. I paused, reflected, and asked myself honestly: Do I still want this path?
The answer was yes — with more clarity than before.

I realized I don’t need to live in New York to learn from one of the best universities in the world. Life there is extremely expensive, and more importantly, my heart is here — close to my parents, my roots, my life in Europe. I’m choosing a wiser timeline: a part-time program, certificate, or another academic format that still allows me to study at Columbia without losing myself in the process.

Why does this matter so much to me?
Because I studied psychology before, but was denied certification due to my Russian passport. And at this stage of my life, I no longer wish to be defined by a system built on lies and coercion. I’m choosing truth, education, and integrity — even if the path takes longer.

Today, the support came quietly and beautifully — from a dear Hungarian friend who said simply: “I believe in your ambitions, and I want to support them.”
That meant more to me than any transaction ever could.

My parents also offered help, but I wanted a sign that this path is supported by life itself — not obligation. And I received that sign.

I’m deeply grateful. To my friends. To Hungary. To life itself.

I’m moving forward with my Columbia University application.
No pressure. No begging. No compromises.

Just watch.

Today I swam for an hour.
Outdoor pool. Fifty meters. Sun on the water.

No phone.
No roles.
No expectations.

Just my body moving forward, again and again.

Swimming quiets my mind. My breath finds rhythm. My body remembers it exists not to perform or impress — just to be.

While swimming, I felt hunger.
I craved gyros from a small Greek place near Margit Sziget. Simple. Perfect.

Lap after lap, I was counting time through desire.

And suddenly it hit me:

I wish I craved life the way I crave that gyros.

Not food — but a person, a moment, a reason to move forward.

I’ve traveled the world. I’ve lived a lot.
But excitement doesn’t come easily anymore.

And that’s dangerous — because excitement is life energy.

So I understood something simple and uncomfortable:

If nothing excites me anymore,
I must become my own source of desire.

Create. Move. Build. Choose pleasure consciously.

Desire doesn’t lie.
And responsibility for it is mine.

My dear friends, I want to share something deeply personal with you.

For the first time in many years, I feel like my life is opening toward a future that is truly mine.

After everything I’ve lived through — living in multiple countries, rebuilding myself from scratch multiple times, healing from trauma, losing my faith in all the people and institutions, losing my mind sometimes, and somehow still standing — I finally found a path that feels like home:
Narrative Medicine at Columbia University in New York.

It’s the only program in the world that speaks the language of my soul.
A program that believes what I have always believed: words can heal, stories can save us, and conversations can change lives.

This is exactly the work I want to dedicate my life to — helping people transform their pain into meaning through language, understanding, and compassion.

And for the first time ever…
I believe I deserve this chance.

My dream: to apply to Columbia University this winter.

The master’s program itself will (hopefully!) be covered by a scholarship. But before I can even apply, there are upfront fees:

1. Application fee

2. WES course-by-course credential evaluation of my Bachelor's degree

3. Buying a domain & email for 1 year to support my academic journey

Total: around $500

Right now, as a stateless person rebuilding my life from zero, this amount is beyond what I can comfortably afford alone.

But it is the only thing standing between me and the chance to start a completely new chapter full of purpose, dignity, and meaning.

If you can support my journey I will be endlessly grateful.

And because I want to give something meaningful back to everyone who supports me, I offer:
– my book (digital)
– a consultation on sexuality or life coaching
– an archetype analysis
– or simply a private thank-you message, if that’s what you prefer 💖

Just leave a note, and I will contact you personally.

Why this matters so much to me?

For me, this isn’t “just a degree.”
This is my second life.
My rebirth.
A chance to step into the woman I always knew I could become.

A chance to help others heal the way I had to learn to heal myself.

If you can support — DM me 🙏

A tree cannot grow to heaven unless its roots reach to hell.

There is no satisfaction in life without recognizing and accepting your dark side.

Knowing your own darkness is the best way to combat the darkness of others.

Be yourself ❤️
