I always love reading your musings, Olga. As a fellow 33 year old, I can relate to much of it. I am starting to get my first streaks of gray hair, and I am bewildered because in so many ways I still feel like a girl, but then again, I think at 33 there is also a lot of wisdom one might have already learned. So maybe it's about finding the balance between letting life turn you into an always a bit wiser woman and at the same time, holding tight to that childlike curiosity and awe? There's this quote by one of my favourite German writers, Erich Kästner: "Only who grows up and remains a child is human." Maybe there's some wisdom in that. Sending you much love from Germany! (Also, I will get back to your voice messages once I have recovered from Covid. But I loved listening to them).
