A LETTER TO AN EARLIER SELF

Gega Kublashvili

In their own words

When I turned 17 my family moved, I was a bit confused as to how my quiet and pleasant life would continue at another place.

The change of apartment followed the change of my neighborhood and also the termination of daily contact with my childhood friends. in the new neighborhood I met people with whom I formed my own personality then. of course, I didn’t cut off my old friends, but they were slowly diminishing. Many and different personalities appeared in the new area, with whom I learned new things. During this period, I realized that a person always has establish himself at the stage of his life, as it will happen in the university, in a new job and therefore we should never be afraid of changes, we should accept them and see more potential in it.

these small stages have shaped me into the person that I am now. I think that change in my life at the age of 17 made it easier for me to adapt to emigration, with more motivation and desire to start creating a new life for the future peace and happiness, together with my wife ♡
