LIFETIMES
(1) Every morning, when I wake up and raise a yellow curtain made of wooden strips, I see it every time. (2) Tall, slender, she is always in front of my window. (3) In autumn nights it is not visible, it merges with the ancient darkness, and if you believe in the unusual, you might think that it is leaving somewhere, because it is not visible. (4) But with the onset of the first minutes of dawn, when everything that is daytime is still sleeping and only the breath of the morning is barely perceptible, she is already in her place.
(5) I look at her, and strange thoughts come to my mind. (6) She, of course, must have her own life. (7) And who knows, if I were endowed with all the perfect organs for the knowledge of nature, I would probably open up before me wonderful world, with special, incomprehensible to a person, large and small feelings that are inherent in all living things. (8) But I have only five senses, and even those have become imperfect over the centuries of mankind.
(9) In the spring. (10) Its branches barely receded from the long frosts, they were still hard, brittle, like overheated metal. (11) A neighbor approached her. (12) He drilled a deep hole in her trunk with a long drill. (13) I drove a stainless steel groove into the bark so that juice dripped from its hole. (14) And the juice dripped. (15) Light as tears, and pure as death.
(16) He went to his place, leaving a three-liter jar near the birch to collect glucose in it. (17) Drops quickly, one by one, fell, as if from a faucet when it was not tightly covered. (18) How many capillaries did he break if the juice is pouring so abundantly? .. (19) Maybe she was moaning? (20) Maybe she was afraid for her life? (21) I didn't know any of this. (22) I didn’t know because I had neither the sixth, nor the seventh, nor the hundredth, nor the thousandth sense. (23) I could only feel sorry for her ...
(24) But a week later the wound was covered with brown. (25) It was she who cured herself. (26) And just at that time her kidneys began to swell. (27) I looked at this greenish fog and rejoiced. (28) I needed her, this birch. (29) I'm used to it. (30) I got used to the fact that she always stood in front of my window, and in this faithful constancy or habit there was something that helped me find good mood. (31) Yes, I needed her, although she didn’t need me at all. (32) She did fine without me, as well as without anyone like me.
(33) In summer. (34) She protects me. (35) My house is about a hundred meters from the road. (36) Cars go along the road: trucks, cars, buses, bulldozers, dump trucks, tractors. (37) There are hundreds of them. (38) There, here. (39) And dust. (40) What dust is on the road! (41) It flies to my house, and if it were not for her, not for the birch, how much of it would break into the windows, settle on the table, on the bed, in the lungs. (42) She takes all this dust on herself.
(43) In summer, she has excellent greenery. (44) She boils at the slightest breath of wind. (45) Thick, impenetrable. (46) Even the sun cannot break through the windows. (47) But in the summer it is not needed in the room. (48) Where cool shade is better.
(49) In autumn. (50) The sun goes around my house. (51) Bypasses her too. (52) And immediately the foliage began to turn yellow. (53) And it started to rain. (54) They rustled weakly, rolling from branch to branch.
(55) One morning a frost hit. (56) Then there were still frosts, and foliage lay down around the birch with a golden ring. (57) And all this was in the dark. (58) But when the trees were bare, the sun came out - and what sadness wafted from everywhere, and especially from her. (59) After all, quite recently there was a violent boil of greenery, everything sparkled, shone, bloomed. (60) Everything was so beautiful and cheerful, and suddenly disappeared. (61) And disappeared for a long time.
(62) In winter. (63) I left. (64) I could not stay in this dreary withering away of what, until recently, had pleased, instilled confidence in life. (65) I flew by plane. (66) I rode a taxi from Simferopol, looked with surprise and joy at the old greenery of the warm south; laughed softly when he saw the Black Sea.
(67) Large warm water. (68) I burrowed into it. (69) I was exhausted on the hot sand. (70) And looked at the sea. (71) And next to me were the same as me, who fled from their seats into this grace. (72) They laughed, joked, looked for colorful pebbles on the shore and tried not to think about what was at home. (73) It was easier and simpler. (74) But you can’t go anywhere from home, as from yourself.
(75) And I came home.
(76) Everything was in the snow. (77) And she stood in a snowdrift. (78) While I was gone, the tearing frosts rejoiced. (79) And they tore her trunk. (80) Not very much, but the white flesh, powdered with snow, climbed into my eyes. (81) I touched her trunk. (82) The bark on it was dry, rough. (83) It was a working bark, not like there, in the south, with some “shameless woman”. (84) Everything was here to fight bad weather, blizzards, winds. (85) And, as always, when I met her, strange thoughts entered my head. (86) I began to think that she had not left her place, had not left this harsh land on which she herself had grown and her children were growing. (87) She didn’t leave, but only held her buds tighter, squeezed them to save them from frost and blow them up with leaves in the spring, and then grow seeds and give them to the earth so that life is eternal and beautiful. (88) Yes, she has her own duties, and she fulfills them steadfastly and honestly. (89) As always, you must do what is necessary for life.

Question for connoisseurs: All my life I wanted money and fame,
Respect come on or lead hawai,

At one time, they almost cut off my arm if I had delayed my visit to the doctor for at least a few more hours ...
Yes, and I have repeatedly saved my dogs by calling a doctor at night ... I understand that losing a dog is traumatic. But time can't be turned back, because the best option- to accept and not repeat the mistakes made in the future.

"In your grief, misfortune, trouble, and in whatever need you may be,
No matter how difficult the days, never blame anyone ...
If the flowers wither under the heat, the leaves of the trees turn yellow,
If the lights go out in the heart - never blame anyone ...
If the rays of the sun burn in the heat ... if the heart sometimes freezes
Gloomy life hard days - never blame anyone ...
If there are no roses on your way, there are no shady curly birches ...
And only sharp stones are alone - never blame anyone ... "
Sooner or later, everyone wonders why he lives, where he moves and why it is worth waking up? In youth, everything seems clear, but as you gradually grow up, more and more questions appear. What to do with dreams, what is worth living for and most importantly why? Here is the answer to all your questions.
"What we take for unfortunate misunderstandings, in fact, is life." Clive S. Lewis
When you are small, the future seems clear and clear. You will have a marriage at 25, children, a job you love, a spacious apartment, a luxury car and happy life. But soon you realize that everything turns out differently. You lose your youthful dreams, face everyday life, plunge into a routine and live on autopilot.
One day you are struck by lightning. You realize that you don't know what you're living for. What is this all for? Where are you running? Why are you trying so hard? How satisfied are you with life and what is happening around you? Why is there nothing left of all your desires and dreams? Why is there only the word "should"? You have to get up, you have to go to work, you have to go somewhere, you have to do something. Gotta, gotta, gotta...
Moral impasse. This is how depression, apathy, a sense of hopelessness, anger at the whole world and oneself begins. What to do and how to find the answer to this philosophical question?
What is worth living and waking up in the morning for?
For many thousands of years people have been searching for the meaning of life, but there is no one answer for everyone. Someone finds meaning in the family and children. Someone is chasing material goods. Someone wants a lot of power. Someone plunges into everyday life and scores on everything. Someone starts to fall asleep. Someone is chasing pleasure. Someone is mired in sin and debauchery. Someone is tormented in the search for meaning all his life.
Understanding what a person lives for is quite difficult. Everyone must find their own answer. Everyone has their own way, but how to find your way? Ask yourself questions. The answer will lie in them.

Answer your own question. The answer is already in you. Don't wait until you get a job, get married, get rich, buy something, it's Friday, or you retire.
Live in the moment, find your dreams and enjoy life.
