Hey guys! So I decided to do something really different and write a chapter consisting of random facts about me! Hope you enjooooy:)
1. I went to a circus school from the age of 6 till 11. It's not like a real school with normal lessons( idk why they called it school actually) just sports classes three times a week, where we learned to juggle( with balls, hoops, pieces of fabric, clubs etc) did gymnastics, acrobatics and many other things. I had really strict coaches, but I think they were the ones who taught me discipline, how to not be late and do things on time. I remember hitting my toe really hard on the floor during the rehearsals ONE DAY BEFORE our performance at a huge theatre here is Moscow. It was a big deal for our group and I just had to ruin it for myself somehow. I remember being all smiley and happy on stage but the moment I was behind the slip, I screamed in pain and I was in tears. Even though I didn't really have any close friends there, I would sometimes come home in tears because my coaches would yell at me for not being able to do something, I had many injuries during those years, I still loved what I did. And when I had to leave because it was already getting crazy with school and other things, I cried for hours on end.
P.S. one of the questions I would constantly get asked was "do you work in a circus?" Or "will you work in a circus in the future?" The answer was always NO. It was more for me to embrace my inner artist and just wanting to keep fit and healthy.
2. I have been learning English since I was 3,5 years old and I have had the same teacher through all those years. My teacher was 19 when we had our first class together and even though there is a pretty significant age gap between us, we have become super close friends in those almost 15 years. We share everything with each other, go to cafes, shopping centers or just simply hang out at some park. I honestly have no idea what I would be doing with my life, if I had not met her. She is the reason I am, where I am right now. She made me fall in love with English and just languages in general. I couldn't be more grateful for her and this special relationship we have with each other💕
3. I once got a black eye. You probably think that I am going to tell you some cool story about how I beat some guy up but, unfortunately, that's not what happened🤣 I was at my circus school class, when our coach brought in this huge bag full of gymnastics balls. We went to grab them and when I bent down, some boy, who I guess was just very impatient, decided to duck under me and grab one for himself and when he stood up, he knocked me right in my eye with his head. It hurt like hell. While I was waiting for my dad to pick me up, my coach stood next to me and tried to crack jokes and just somehow make me laugh, but I just stood with my head down because I was so insanely embarrassed. Next day, when I had to go to school, my mom helped me cover it up with some foundation, but it didn't really do much, so when I arrived at school, my classmate started laughing at me and yelled for everyone to hear, "look, Masha has got a black eye". Guess what I did. I said, "have you seen his haircut, he looks like a hedgehog"( he got a haircut the day before and it was super super short, really spiky and I knew that he didn't like it, so I decided to push that button). He cried for the rest of the day. Oh well...I feel so bad...
4. I have pigmentation all over my right cheek and on my forehead. I got it when I was around four because my parents forgot to put sunscreen on my face during one of the days we spent on vacation in Montenegro. We went to a swimming camp there, so we were outside in the sun the whole day. I used to get asked about it a lot but not anymore. I never felt embarrassed about it. Many people actually say that they like it and it looks cool. I personally don't even remember that it's there half of the time. Sometimes people stare but I never think that it's because of it. I am usually like, is something wrong with my makeup? hair? clothes? But never do I think about those spots, which is probably the reason.

Its not this noticeable right now, but during summer, if I am in the sun a lot, it does become pretty dark.
5. I might seem all sweet and nice but if I have to yell, I can be VERY LOUD. Many of my friends still don't believe me, even though they have known me for years, but I just never have to act this way around them. Ask any of my relatives, they will prove that if I am very mad and angry, I can scream at the top of my lungs, be very harsh and strict.
So this will be all for today, I will write more in the next chapters because this already turned out to be really long😅
