I'm 18, I'm from Moldova, Chisinau. Uni is not my thing yet: my head needs rest, and my heart needs to try life with its hands. In six months I managed to work as a barista, a call center operator, sold strawberries and collected bouquets. Somewhere there was noise, somewhere there were smiles “according to the script,” but I’m not messing around - I’m looking for myself and my path.

In the evenings I walk around Botanica, listen to Romanian songs and write down ideas in notes so as not to forget how real I am. I love simple things: city lights, warm air, music on headphones. I also got caught up in editing - I’m studying, trying out effects, cutting shots, collecting moods like a bouquet of details.

I dream of a job where I can both think and create. Now I’m learning how to edit videos on an old laptop and I get a thrill when the pieces turn into a story. I want to make content that is honest and lively, without falsehood. I believe that my experience of different jobs is not chaos, but steps to a place where I will be where I belong.

I want to become independent and self-confident - not to “endure”, but to choose. Find a business where I am valued for reality, and not for a scripted smile. I want to develop, learn new things and live in such a way that after the day I am left with honest fatigue and the feeling: I have taken a step forward. I'm not lost - I'm building a route.
