I'm glad to receive your message! I am very sorry that I could not write earlier. Here in Bulgaria some people celebrate Christmas on January 7. And all these days nothing worked because of the Christmas holidays. It's been a while since I've engaged in conversations that don't revolve around the war. Every day, people here seem to be talking about it, and honestly, it doesn't bring me much joy. They say that our thoughts become reality. If we focus on positive things and talk about them, then everything around us will also be good. Do you agree with this belief?
As I mentioned before, I stumbled upon you by accident. I was searching for ways to meet new people online when I came across an ad on the internet. It was a website that offered to write messages for the purpose of making new connections. There was a banner offering to send a letter for dating purposes, and I decided to send a letter and a photo. I had to refresh the page multiple times, and I didn't expect the letter to be sent successfully, let alone receiving a response. I haven't seen your address, and I don't know where they got it from. But I'm glad I can now write to you.
Using the internet on a computer poses some challenges, as many people, including myself, had to leave similar things behind in Ukraine. Thankfully, volunteers come by almost every day, giving us the opportunity to use a computer. I'm using my old work email, hoping that someone from our city will write to me. Unfortunately, I have lost contact with my parents, and I don't have any means of communication with them. Before the war, my parents lived in the city of Melitopol, while I resided separately in Kherson. No one anticipated that the Russians would enter our city. When the fighting started, I went to Odessa and stayed there. Unfortunately, I lost contact with my parents during that time. As the situation worsened, I made the decision to come to Bulgaria. Initially, I thought I could return home within a couple of months, but it seems uncertain now. Today I heard some unsettling news from Poland. They plan to relocate refugees from the refugee center in Warsawa, and nobody knows where they will be sent. Many fear that something similar may happen here in Bulgaria, but for now, we are safe in the city of Ruse. If a comparable situation arises here, I don't know what my next steps would be.
I hope you can understand my English. I studied it a bit when I was a student, dreaming that Ukraine would become a European country and perhaps I could find a good job in Europe. However, fate had different plans. Life has been very challenging for me in Bulgaria, and I haven't been able to find a job since I arrived. I'm willing to do any work like cleaning floors, houses, or cooking, but there doesn't seem to be a demand for it here. We live in temporary shelters, and there are many others like me. When I lived in Ukraine, I worked as a manager selling building materials. It wasn't my dream job, but I enjoyed it, and it provided me with a decent livelihood. I now realize that my previous work was valuable, and it's unfortunate that I can't go back to it at the moment.
I'll make an effort to write to you again in the coming days and include a photo as well. I have to go for now. You are the only person I can chat with, and I'll be eagerly waiting for your next letter. This is my photo that we took for a calendar when I was still working at a building materials company about 3 years ago.
Take care,
Katy (This is my nickname among friends.)
