Thank you for your message; I’m glad to see your response. I hope that
through these letters we can get to know each other better. I will
also try to send you more of my photos, and I hope that in return I
will receive your pictures so I can see and learn more about you.
Honestly, this is my first attempt to write to a man first. On one
hand, I feel a little nervous; on the other hand, I am overwhelmed
with new emotions from such a kind of acquaintance. I sincerely hope
that this dialogue will add some new colors to our lives.
I want to let you know right away that I am writing my letters from an
internet café on a computer because I don’t have my own computer at
home.
Let me tell you more about myself:
My name is Mariia. I am 32 years old. I was born and raised in
Kazakhstan, in a small city called Pavlodar. I currently live here and
work as a kindergarten teacher. I really enjoy my job  I love
children and try to create a warm and safe environment for them,
helping them develop, learn, and enjoy life. This requires patience
and kindness, and I believe I have chosen the right profession.
For many years, I lived in Russia because I had to move there after
the tragic loss of my parents  they died in a car accident when I was
only 15. I lived with my grandmother in Russia, who took care of me.
Later, my grandmother also passed away due to old age, but since I was
already 20, I was able to live independently. However, in 2022, when
the war between Russia and Ukraine began, I realized I needed to
return to Kazakhstan to be closer to my homeland and to ensure my own
peace and safety. It was a difficult decision, but I believe
everything happens for a reason, and I have found my place here.
I enjoy gardening, singing, dancing, walking in the park  I love
spending time in nature. I also love reading books, especially those
that fill me with positivity and warmth. My favorite genres include
travel literature, self-development, and inspiring stories. Sometimes
I watch movies or series to relax and lift my mood. I also enjoy
cooking  trying out new recipes and preparing delicious dishes.
Sometimes I watch films and series that help me unwind and reflect on
life. I draw inspiration from traveling  I like discovering new
places and learning about the traditions and cultures of other
countries. It broadens my horizons and fills my heart with joy.
Regarding music, I like listening to various genres. Mainly, I enjoy
foreign artists  for example, I love songs by Adele, Ed Sheeran,
Beyoncé, as well as popular hits from the USA and Europe. I also
appreciate music from Kazakhstan  artists like Dima Kudaibergen,
Mariam Maralova, and others, who give me a sense of national pride and
warmth. My playlist includes both calm and more energetic songs, and I
love listening to music when I relax or engage in creative activities.
I am very interested to learn about you  what do you do in your free
time? What are your favorite hobbies? I hope our communication will be
enjoyable and interesting for both of us. I would love to know which
music genres you prefer and which artists you like.
Please feel free to ask me questions as well; I will be happy to
answer. I hope that our acquaintance will become the beginning of
something good, and I want to believe in that.
Wishing you all the best, and looking forward to continuing our
communication,

Mariia.
