Far away in an eastern European country, a 30 year old girl is living her life like everyone one of us. She works daily and travels long way in the dusty Bucharest just like so many other people do, trying to face every day for living. Her life see...

Enough with the dreaming and questioning.
Life was waiting for me and I was waiting for happiness.
The next morning brought me a sort of courage and determination which I didn't feel inside of me for a long time. I was very willing to finish some chapters of my life which I didn't succeed until then.
I knew what I had to do - I had to continue what I didn't manage to accomplish in the last years. And these were my make-up courses. I used to have them completed four years ago and practiced a little bit since then, but not enough. It was that feeling that I didn't prove all thatI could and that there was so much more to be done in it that I needed tofigure it out how to manage everything. It was such an amazing hobby and ifanyone asked me what I would have liked to do, I would have said I wanted tocontinue what I once began years ago, in a more professional way and, alsopractice as much as I can. I have been told many times that I have got talentand if I looked at what I had created so far, I could say I was happy withmyself but I still knew that there was much more left to be accomplished.
Without reasoning too much, I called on the makeup school I have attended back then, and they surprisingly told me that a new advanced course was about to begin in only two days, with a lot of free practice and a lot of opportunities during those weeks. I thought I was luckier than I have expected. They asked me if I could pay them a visit that day and, as I was having some days off from the office, I got dressed in a hurry and got in the car.
I could not believe that some days before I was just living the everyday life without questioning too much, being happy still, but not feeling like flying as I did in that moment. It was a sunny day and, as I was driving, thoughts kept running through my mind. I have never felt so determined and I would not give up, for sure. Although I loved my job, the makeup was allabout that sparkle, that rainbow of my life which I had always felt like acalling through the time.
I parked the car and climbed the stairs of the make-up school building with a complete enthusiasm. That building was like a second home for me and I had so many memories in there that I instantly felt goosebumps inside; I didn't know how I didn't pass by in all those years and I tended to wonder why or where I have been. When I got in their workshop room, Maria, my makeup teacher, greeted me with a smile on her face. I didn't know she was still there and I was glad to see the same smile which has offered us so much optimism in the past. I haven't been seeing her for such a long time and I was extremely happy to be able to meet that lady again; she was an incredible person and has been my friend during so many hard times.
- Oh, there have been ages, Miha! You finally decide to return at this place you once used to call "home"! What brings you up here after all these years, girl? I didn't know anything about you for so long! When the secretary told me your name and that you have called and that you're going to come over here I could not believe it is you. There has been so long! You didn't change at all, you know. Same blonde, green eyes girl, with the face of a dreaming child...
