HELLO to my beloved and loyal 4 followers!!
I’ve been gone for almost a month from here and social media in general because, you know, life can sometimes throw surprises your way – some beautiful, some awful – but you have to learn how to manage them <3
Almost a month ago (I can’t even remember exactly when), I was practically drowning myself in school, chores, music… and I got kind of sick. I don’t exactly blame my overworking habits, but I also have no idea where it came from. I was seriously ill, and daily life became even worse: I couldn’t eat, couldn’t walk, couldn’t move, couldn’t drink water… couldn’t sing… and it got so bad that I had to stay in the hospital for approximately 4 days, which, despite my poor health, had never happened before. The only thing I did was sleep, and I prayed I wouldn’t slip away in my sleep because I was THAT sick.
When I started walking again, I felt like a newborn baby crawling on the floor with no clear destination – and the urge to destroy everything in sight.
Then, our country suffered a great loss. His Holiness and Beatitude, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, Ilia II, passed away, which brought us together in the most heartbreaking way. The 15 choirmaster schools were given the great honor of chanting at his funeral. It broke and healed us in the strangest but most beautiful way. Not to mention, I had just started walking the day before we left our city to go to Tbilisi.
After that, my choirmaster school was honored with the name of the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, Ilia II, which stirred even deeper and more beautiful emotions within us.
Now, I plan on coming back stronger.
That’s quite literally it!
Stay cool, stay iconic,
Elene. <3
