My name is Anna, I’m from Bulgaria, and I recently graduated from school. Honestly, I’m at that strange, slightly scary but also inspiring stage of life where many roads are open in front of me, and I don’t yet know which one to choose. Sometimes it makes me anxious, and sometimes it gives me a sense of freedom.

I have dreams — simple, but very important to me. I dream about buying my own car, a symbol of independence and freedom. I also really want to travel: to get on a plane, fly somewhere new, see the world with my own eyes, and feel that life is much bigger than my fears.

Always, I’ve had many hobbies. I love drawing — it’s my way of expressing things that are hard to put into words. When I hold a pencil or a paintbrush, it feels like I’m having a conversation with myself. I also enjoy making things with my hands: jewelry, small crafts, decorations — anything where I can create beauty from simple materials. In those moments, I feel alive and authentic.

Right now, I’m searching for my path. I don’t know exactly who I will become, but I know what kind of person I want to be — braver, more confident. I think this period of life is meant to teach me how to truly love myself. And maybe this is where my most important story begins — the story of how a quiet girl gradually becomes strong.
