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.

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.
