One year

One year has mostly 365 days. 365 days to learn how to live, to explorer, find friends, live your dreams, discover new dreams, fall in love, care about people, find your balance, think about thinking...
Exactly 365 days ago I came in St.Gallen, Switzerland... :)

Amazing...
This blog waits for so long to be written.
I wanted to say "thank you" to many of you - for being part of my life during this one year, for letting me be part of your lives... for all the hugs, challenges, midnight conversations, cherishing, caring, chatting, loving, missing, thinking...
I wanted to post as many pictures as possible to paint somehow the previous 365 days...
I wanted... but words and pictures could not express even 5% of this magic...

I often think what made this year so life-changing. And I do not say it so, dear @ers, because you are used to hear it so. It really was.

On first place, I guess there were the expectations: to live 100%, to get to know people, culture, country without any prejudges. To feel, trust, care, study, live differently - 100%.
Of course - easy to be said, not that easy to be done ;) Many of you know about my "tough moments" in Switzerland, many of you were next to me in these days...

Thanks to MAPOW, I was independent to go, study, work, travel, party wherever and however I wanted to.
I tried to get to know people really (and if you know Switzerland, you know how difficult task this could be :P), to refract good life ideas and ways I see into my life and show people diffent sides of life... To discover more about myself and others through interaction, living together, working together, being together...

I had some of the most happiest and balanced moments in my life during this one year. I had my first real cultural shock, real job, conscious responsibilities toward another country, internationalism as daily life...
I learn to distinguish different kinds of cheese, to be on time, to be self-controlling, to laugh even if I want to cry...

Thank you my dear Marc, Tim, Diane, Vlad, Stef and Leo for living together :) I learned a lot from you!

Thank you my MAPOW team and MAPOWski friends - Mario, Emilie, Antonin, Christian, Johann; Anja, Lana, Branka, Baha, Alex, Oana, Mashinka - for the whole adventure!! For the friendship and trust!

Thank you Slavena, Yavorski, Eli, Ivan, Meto - for keeping my Bulgarian spirit (and language :P) through these days ;)

I know that these 365 will never repeat. And that´s the greatness of life - there will be another days to bring us together again, to build over what we had so far, to be there!!!

Thank you for teaching me how to live ;)
